'Since 2020, the richest five men in the world have doubled their fortunes. During the same period, almost five billion people globally have become poorer. Hardship & hunger are a daily reality for many people worldwide. At current rates, it will take 230 years to end poverty, but we could have our first trillionaire in 10 years'!

Well this quite a surprise. THE FINALS is one of the most popular new online FPS games that uses Easy Anti-Cheat from Epic Online Services, and as of a recent update — it works on Steam Deck and Desktop Linux.Liam Dawe (GamingOnLinux)
interesting, I played it yesterday and the performance was worse than on Windows. I have a Radeon 6700 XT and a Ryzen 5 3600.
I set everything to low and I couldn't get a stable enough FPS that my monitor's FreeSync premium would stabilize on 120 Hz.
this doesn't happen on Windows, there I get a smooth performance overall. I reported these issues on ProtonDB.

No GodotOS is not another Linux distribution, it's an open source fake operating system interface made in Godot Engine, designed to push the limits of UI design in Godot. It's also just really cool.Liam Dawe (GamingOnLinux)
Rain forests are usually self-irrigating. That’s why they are called ‘rain forests’. If you destroy the rain forests to grow soya, palm or whatever, you stop the irrigation. Scientists have been saying this for years. It’s happening. #BoycottPalmOil. Stop #deforestation.

New #ArtistBook: ANTHROPOCENE, BOOK I
This portable manuscript recounts the six days of Creation as written in the Book of Genesis. But holes soon begin to appear in the pages and then multiply, making the text increasingly difficult to read...
