Current is a nice RSS app for Apple devices For macOS, iPadOS and iOS only, but I wish this came to Linux, too.

I'm tired of tech The tech industry is boring me, and I blame AI, tech bros, and hype cycles.

Valve hits pause Valve hits pause on Steam Machine pricing, AYANEO issues a handheld apology, Qobuz sets an AI bar, plus a new Linux apps roundup.

Qobuz gets AI right A middle finger to Spotify!

Next: order your pizza on Spotify.

Valve sheds more light on the Steam Machine release Let's all blame AI!

Maybe my next entry in the series is how I riced KDE.

I don’t know what’s going on lately, but networks have started changing their algorithms in weird fucking ways. YouTube used to be really good at showing stuff I cared about. Now it’s: “Oh, you watched one video of that one game? Here are all videos in existence and nothing but that!!!”

Ok, what post in the #Linux series do you want to see next?

From Mac to Linux: Every app I replaced Moving to Linux from macOS (or Windows) can be easy if you find the right replacements. This is the list that made it work for me.

Anbernic reveals the RG Vita and RG Vita Pro A modern PS Vita.

I finished Act 2 of Clair Obscur. I think I need to call my therapist…

Welcome to the dumbest timeline yet AI-bros launched a cult, Nvidia launched GeForce Now for Linux, and Bazzite launched a new organization.... overkill.wtf/133-2/

www.youtube.com/watch?v=21WP... Riley has excellent taste in blogs. (Timestamped.)

We now got Clawdbot, I mean Moltbot, I mean OpenClaw Crypto coins.

Damn, they nailed this one. I mean, look at this picture. deadline.com/2026/01/olaf...

Nvidia App for Linux is now live The Flatpak works wherever Flatpaks works.

Bazzite joins the new Open Gaming Collective Several distro maintainers get together to push Linux gaming.

Google leaked Android for PC A bug report shows us what Aluminium OS will look like.

If I read “No fluff” one more time, I’m turning off the internet.

Cool, my n8n thingy worked. Might try to make this a bit prettier though.

Nvidia challenges, overkill changes Big housekeeping update, Arm laptops, Linux updates, and a small rant on PCs.

If you read the overkill digest (examples: overkill.wtf/tag/mailing/), which part do you actually prefer? My commentary or the curated links? Trying to decide if I should lean more into the writing or the link sharing.

Nexus Mods’ Vortex is coming to Linux (SteamOS) after all. www.nexusmods.com/news/15433

This was fun, and now I got like 200 tabs open. I have too many hobbies…

He plays exactly *zero* games!

PopOS 22.04 on that laptop was a wild choice. youtu.be/8vO7dKr2_GQ?...

I don't get the AYANEO KONKR subbrand. Why build a flagship Windows handheld, give it a different name, and just make things more confusing than they have to be?

The ads are coming! overkill.wtf/131/

For work (yes, seriously), I’m playing DnD for the first time on Monday, and I’m trying very hard not to buy every cool thing I see.

I might have had to reinstall CachyOS yesterday because it wouldn’t boot anymore. Maybe. I won’t tell.

Boox Palma 2 Pro: 5G, color, but still a Palma Boox finally shipped a Palma with 5G and color. It still isn’t a phone, but it’s the device that gets me reading more than anything else. overkill.wtf/boox-palma-2...

FFS! Modding is one of the remaining reasons I have a dual-boot system in the first place.

A month ago, I’d be all over this. Now I’m like:

It’s very ugly, but it works. If there’s one good thing to come out of this whole LLM/AI mess, it’s home-cooked apps.

In case you are wondering what all these tests are about: I'm (vibe-)building another Linux-app that lets me post to Bluesky and Mastodon at the same time.

Finished Yakuza Kiwami 2 and the Majima side-quest. I’m ready for February. Great games.

🟪 #130: CES 2026, the S stands for slop overkill.wtf/130-ces-2026...

Thinking of a name for the series. I got “Linux Diaries” but that’s a bit boring. Any suggestions?

Apparently something happened because my weekly pacman -Syu just broke my @cachyos.org install. Couldn’t boot into the DE anymore. But thank Torvalds for Snapper.

@grackle.space two things: if you get howdy to work, please ping me. I think it has issues on Arch-based distros. Also, for Apple Music: cider.sh

The newsletter will be back tomorrow, so get subscribed. overkill.wtf#/portal/ I promise I won’t write exclusively about Linux. (Or will I?)

Looks like I’m not the only one. @grackle.space www.theverge.com/tech/858910/...

Currently playing Yakuza Kiwami 2. I’m surprised how the studio manages to reuse a ton of assets while changing just enough to make it feel fresh. Also, the ragdoll physics in Kiwami 2 are absurdly funny.

I feel a bit dirty, but I vibe-coded a parcel tracking app for Linux because my beloved parcelapp.net doesn’t exist there. It uses the Ship24 API for tracking and works well so far. One less reason to stay on macOS.

I switched to #Linux: Bye macOS and Windows A month on Linux across my gaming PC and work gear, plus the early wins and annoyances. overkill.wtf/linux-switch...

I’m in a few geek culture subreddits and they’re getting flooded with AI-generated cosplay pics from fake profiles pushing OnlyFans. Add the algorithm shoving random AF posts into my timeline and yeah, enshittification in full swing.

Due to popular demand, comments are back on overkill. Got questions, feedback, or takes? Go ham. Just stay civilized, or I’ll nuke your account. (Comments are tied to Ghost sign-ups.)
