While some Linux distros have stood the test of time, others have fallen by the wayside, remembered only by their users.

Nothing lasts forever, not even operating systems. This article will take a look at some distros that offered some innovative features, but for one reason or another, aren't available anymore.

Larian have updated Baldur's Gate 3 with Hotfix #35, which includes more improvements to their Native Linux build supported on the Steam Deck with SteamOS.

Did you miss it getting a Native version? See the previous GamingOnLinux article for the info. They're still specifically calling it "Steam Deck Native", but it's just a Native Linux version with tweaks for the Steam Deck included. It will be interesting to see how this sort of language evolves, especially with the new upcoming Steam Machine.

SteamOS 3.7.18 Beta "Old Enough to Vote" was released by Valve today, bringing in a few more fixes for some annoying sounding issues. In case you live under a rock we're also getting some new SteamOS systems with the Steam Frame and Steam Machine you should go and read up on.

As it's a Beta you'll need to change your system updates channel to test it, or just wait for Valve to roll it out for the next stable SteamOS Linux release. You can change it via Settings > System > System Update Channel. The most recent stable update is SteamOS 3.7.17 from early November.

Over the years, Western media have endorsed Washington’s Venezuela regime-change efforts at every turn, from cheerleading coup attempts to whitewashing deadly sanctions (FAIR.org, 6/13/22, 6/4/21, 1/22/20). Now, with a possible military operation that could have disastrous consequences, corporate outlets are making little effort to hold the US government accountable. Rather, they are unsurprisingly ceding the floor to the warmongers.

Despite Washington ominously amassing naval assets and issuing overt threats against Caracas, Western journalists often talk of “tensions” between the two countries (Fox, 11/17/25; ABC, 11/18/25), or even a “showdown” (Wall Street Journal, 10/9/25; Washington Post, 10/25/25). This is conceptually similar to the framing of Israel’s genocide in Gaza as a “conflict” with Hamas (FAIR.org, 12/8/23), except in this case the media does not have an equivalent of October 7 to rationalize all the atrocities by the US and its allies.

“The ceasefire means that it is quieter in terms of bombs falling on people’s heads. It doesn’t mean that overnight people’s lives became wonderful because most of Gaza is completely destroyed.”
