The March 2025 development round-up blog post from Linux Mint covers some interesting changes coming to the popular Linux distribution, like making packaging the Cinnamon desktop easier for other distributions.
Sid Meier's Civilization VII version 1.2 is due out April 22, and with it Firaxis Games are once again solving numerous complaints players have about the game, and it all sounds really positive.
Since Ray Tracing is a requirement to run Indiana Jones: The Great Circle, a change has been merged into RADV (AMD Vulkan driver) for Mesa to get it working on older AMD GPUs.
Driveloop: Survivors is another attempt to blend the survivor-like bullet heaven whatchamacallit genre made popular by Vampire Survivors with vehicles. It's out now in Early Access so I took it for a spin.
Fanatical have given all GamingOnLinux readers a chance to grab some games even cheaper than usual, with a special discount code on their Play on the Go Bundle Elite Collection Bundle.
After recently switching over from Easy Anti-Cheat to BattlEye for DUCKSIDE, tinyBuild have confirmed they're now looking to enable it for players on Steam Deck / Linux with Proton.
SEGA have revealed that Sonic Rumble, their attempt at a sorta-of racing Battle Royale, is scheduled to release on May 8. It's also Steam Deck Verified, which I already wrote about earlier this month.
Red Rogue Sea is one high up on my wishlist! After being completely hooked by FTL: Faster Than Light when it originally released, I'm always keen to see more like it and now a demo is available.
Might and Delight have revealed Twinkleby, a new cosy decoration game where you map out an archipelago of floating islands and build dioramas for a society of spacefaring neighbours.
