The Richardson Waiver which prohibited regulatory decisions being made without sufficient public input with the Department of Health and Human Services was repealed back in February by RFK Jr. Critics claim these changes enable the department to make drastic changes to Medicaid that would negatively impact many Americans. Others argue that this change allows faster implementation of necessary policies. Is public participation always necessary in policymaking?

Expected to be introduced in the upcoming Linux 6.19 kernel cycle is the ASUS Armoury "asus-armoury" driver for enhancing support for the ASUS ROG Ally gaming handhelds and other ASUS enthusiast/gaming devices under Linux.

The ASUS Armoury driver was born out of the existing ASUS WMI driver but overhauling it with a clean and more well defined API. The ASUS Armoury driver provides new BIOS attributes using the fw_attributes_class while deprecating all the existing attributes from the ASUS-WMI driver with plans to then remove them in the next Linux LTS kernel version.

Valve recently published a Steam Deck Verified rating for the smash-hit extraction shooter ARC Raiders. I decided to see if it deserved the rating.

With close to 100 hours on my Linux desktop where it has been working beautifully, I feel like I have a decent enough grasp on how it should feel by now. It's also one of the few bigger games like this that actually has the anti-cheat enabled for Linux / SteamOS which is going to be a big problem for the Steam Machine, so it's quite an important one. There's many that simply disable Linux support as noted on our anti-cheat page.

They are a warm and welcoming community. You can attend or present at no cost. LinuxFest Northwest (est. 2000) is an annual, free-to-attend F/LOSS conference co-produced by Bellingham Linux Users Group, Information Technology department at BTC, Jupiter Broadcasting, and Cascade STEAM.

LFNW features presentations and exhibits on free/libre and open source topics, as well as Linux distributions & applications, licensing, InfoSec, DevOps, AI/ML, creative software, hardware, and privacy; something for everyone from the novice to the professional!

With the latest minor update, the newer Quake II re-release that saw Nightdive Studios jump in to improve it is now Steam Deck Verified.

Back in August 2023 the re-release update came with lots of enhancements to the classic including the expansions, Quake 64, big multiplayer improvements and various gameplay improvements. It was quite the overhaul for the classic shooter. Valve's original rating was Steam Deck Playable but that was from their test in 2022.

A small update was pushed to the game with no patch notes on what they changed, they simply said "Quake II is now Steam Deck Verified and Handheld Optimized on Xbox ROG Ally devices" and with that - it's now Steam Deck Verified. So now you're truly good to go across Desktop Linux, Steam Deck and other SteamOS machines and it should work without much of a fuss at all.

The upcoming Linux 6.19 kernel cycle is set to introduce support for the Realtek RTL8125K as a forthcoming Ethernet ASIC.

The Realtek RTL8125K doesn't appear to have been formally announced yet or at least isn't showing up anywhere prominent online. The Linux enablement patches coming for the Linux 6.19 kernel put the RTL8125K as an extension of the Realtek RTL8125D 2.5G Ethernet ASICs already launched and supported by the mainline Linux kernel last year.
