I savored every episode, knowing this was going to be one of those rare shows, like Severance season one, that you only get to experience for the first time once. It pulls you into a vivid, immersive world that’s equal parts mesmerizing and unsettling. A place you’re fascinated by, but would never want to be put in. The atmosphere seeps into you — the sound design, the environments, the way it all just lingers under your skin. You can’t shake it off.

And now I’ve watched the final 12. episode and I already miss it. So I need to say: watch it. It’s something special.

The series is a full-length expansion of the short Scavengers by Joseph Bennett and Charles Huettner (With visible improvements across the board). They’ve cited Nausicaä as a major influence, but if you’re into Akira, you’ll catch a few visual nods there too. It’s brutal. It’s gorgeous. And honestly, I haven’t been this excited about an animated series in a long time.

Neither Netflix nor HBO wanted to greenlight the second season. But the show has come to a very satisfying closure, so I'm not complaining.

Last year, thanks to one of our most special collaborators, Moisés, we introduced a “Dark Mode” option for the Open Build Service (OBS) web interface. You might remember the section titled “Introducing the Dark Mode” from one of our blog posts. At that time, it was released under the beta program. Today, we’re happy to announce that the “Color Themes” switch is now available to everyone, including the “Dark Mode” theme, with no beta program...

One Identity Cloud PAM is one of the latest security products by One Identity. It provides asset management as well as secure and monitored remote access for One Identity Cloud users to hosts on their local network. Last year, I showed you how collect One Identity Cloud PAM Network Agent log messages on Windows and create alerts when somebody connects to a host on your local network using PAM Essentials. This time, I will show you how to work with the Linux version of the Network Agent.

I'm not a professional web designer. I’ve been making websites for decades, but I haven't kept up with the latest browser quirks and common approaches. What I do have is a solid grasp of the web’s foundations—thanks to my time teaching IP networking at the university.

My journey with Linux started when I struggled to get PHP running on Windows. (To my surprise, my student side project autoroku.cz kept running in production for years.)

At SUSE I've tasted the DRY principles while working on a Rails project, SUSE Studio. I left PHP behind and embraced static site generators like Middleman, then Jekyll as it integrated into GitHub. But over time, maintenance fatigue pushed me further—back to basics. No SASS. No site generators. Just clean, modern HTML and CSS.

People are often surprised to see major projects like gnome.org, brand.gnome.org, circle.gnome.org and my own jimmac.eu built with plain HTML. Yes you do repeat yourself and inconsistencies creep in. But with integrated version control and web based editors, fixes are a click away. More people can edit plain HTML than any bespoke stack.

Do I miss some form of include()? Sure. Would I reach for Jekyll+markdown when someone else is responsible for the content? Probably. But for focused, small sites, nothing beats good old HTML.

The author shares their experience with a 5-drive enclosure intended for backup, encountering a "ghost" RAID issue on their system after testing software RAID with mdadm. They resolved the issue by editing the mdadm.conf file. The process enhanced their confidence in experimenting with technology and using AI for problem-solving.

Imagine this: You built a gaming rig in 2016. It still crushes 1080p titles, runs cool, and looks great on your desk. But now Windows 10 is nearing its end-of-life, and upgrade paths point toward new hardware, stricter requirements and higher costs. Perhaps a new motherboard, a new CPU, and possibly hundreds of 💰 just to keep playing the same games.

Instead of giving in to forced obsolescence, you install a flavor of openSUSE.

And you’re still gaming. Still winning. Just on Linux.

Gamers know the name Linux and its adoption among users is beginning to shift. According to Google Trends, searches for Windows gaming are trending similar today to what it was roughly five years ago, which is when COVID saw more people engaging digitally during spare time. Searches for Linux gaming on the other hand have tripled during that time frame.

Screenshot:

Gaming on Linux no longer means giving up your Steam library or tinkering very long just to launch a title. Thanks to Proton, more than 70 percent of the top 100 Steam games now work out of the box on Linux. This includes Cyberpunk 2077, Red Dead Redemption 2, Elden Ring and more.

Linux distributions like openSUSE aren’t just along for the ride. The distributions are driving Linux gaming forward with reliant performance and improvements.

Why Gamers Choose openSUSE

1. Rolling or Stable? You Choose. Want the latest Mesa drivers and the Linux Kernels shortly from when they’re released? Use Tumbleweed; this is openSUSE’s rolling release version. Prefer something more static? Leap is built for reliability and long sessions without surprises.

2. Excellent Hardware Support AMD and Intel work out of the box. NVIDIA drivers are a one-command install. The distribution keeps pace with upstream Linux graphics and development essentials for gaming.

3. Built for Power Users You don’t need to be one, but if you are, Btrfs snapshots, and zypper package manager give you serious control. This isn’t watered-down Linux. It’s a full engine, tuned for performance and customizability.

Setup in Minutes

Gamers don’t want to spend hours configuring their OS. That’s why the openSUSE wiki and one-line installs make it simple:

sudo zypper install steam lutris mangohud gamemode

Enable Proton in Steam, link your Epic account in Lutris, and you’re set.

Here are some popular titles that just work

Native on Linux:

Counter-Strike 2

Dota 2

No Man’s Sky

Valheim

Terraria

Through Proton:

Cyberpunk 2077

Baldur’s Gate 3

The Witcher 3

Hogwarts Legacy

Starfield

Upgrading to Windows 11 may cost people more than they can afford or even lead to unnecessary e-waste with functional hardware, which the initiative End of 10 is raising awareness for across the globe.

Linux, and openSUSE in particular, offers a way out. Gaming shouldn’t end because support does.

Whether you’re a casual gamer or a full-blown enthusiast, your hardware still has years of life in it. openSUSE and other Linux distributions can help you keep that gear in play.

Join others making the switch. Visit endof10.org for an event to help you switch to Linux or visit get.opensuse.org to download a flavor of openSUSE. People can also look at Aeon and Kalpa as options.

This is part of a series on End of 10 where we advocate for Free & Open Source Software as a solution for Windows 10 users who wish to keep their devices rather than contributing to e-waste of functioning devices.

Over the last few days, we’ve been focused on improving how responsibility is tracked in packages. Today, we’re excited to introduce Assignments. These updates are part of the Foster Collaboration beta program. You can find more information about the beta program here. Our efforts to foster collaboration started in August 2024, when we introduced labels and bug report links. Next, we improved labels to foster collaboration, allowed labeling projects and introduced the functionality of managing...
