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.)

I’ve spent way too much time tweaking my KDE Plasma panel. So far, I’m really happy with the result. Next step is figuring out whether I can visually group Plasma widgets into pill-shaped containers, similar to how DMS does it.

Ok, so what are the #Linux accounts to follow? Who got a Starter Pack for me?

The C in CES stands for Crap.

The newsletter will be back this Sunday. Apologies in advance, it will be very Linux-heavy. hashtag sorry not sorry.

The Zenbook S14 lands early (out for delivery right now), so it looks like this Full-Time-Linux journey starts early.

Welp, I bought a laptop for Linux. I'm officially switching over from macOS, I guess.

One thing that always slightly annoys me when people show off their Linux setup: it’s always the same four things. fastfetch in the terminal cmatrix in the terminal cava in the terminal changing wallpapers in the terminal Who actually uses a computer like that?

In my eternal search for a Linux-compatible laptop, I’ve currently landed on the #Zenbook S14. Arch #Linux lists it as compatible, at least. Anyone here with real-world experience?

Brought an SFFPC running Bazzite on vacation. Finished Yakuza 0 Director’s Cut yesterday after 30 h, starting Yakuza Kiwami now. At this rate, I might get through the series before Kiwami 6 gets released.

Some housekeeping: tech takes go to @overkill.wtf from now on. This account stays for other hobbies.

Current step in my #Linux journey: comparing laptops to replace my MacBook, 6 tabs on Asahi Linux open, and 10 videos on niri saved for later.
