Phantom Overload Alpha 0.4 brings quite a few visual and balancing changes (many are both), most notably:

- Visual changes to phantoms
- Rebalanced phantoms by adjusting speed, spawning and despawning
- Reworked the visual phantom proximity effects
- Changes to rendering distance and fog
- Work with shadows
- Post-death camera now looks at the phantom that killed you

Phantom Overload is an atmospheric #FPS #game being made with #Godot 4. It's available on #Codeberg: codeberg.org/Huitsi/PhantomOve

Dear distro maintainers and "i build my own stuff" people:

In case you want to check out 0.46 relesae upfront: we've tagged the first releases candidates (0.46~rc1) of #phosh and related components today. 🎉

Release is planned 2025-03-31 (gitlab.gnome.org/World/Phosh/p)

The bulk of the changes landed already so hopefully it's only bugfixes from here on.

If you own a razer mouse and use Linux then you may be interested in OpenRazer. While Razer doesn't provide open source drivers for their products OpenRazer aims to fill this void.

OpenRazer is licensed under GPLv2.0 and is available through various distros and Github.

The project's main website is here:

openrazer.github.io/

The source code is on Github:

github.com/openrazer/openrazer

No big loss for me. I was turned of from trying Chimera Linux by the wording on their site.

"Specific examples of things considered harmful and not welcome:

Far-right and adjacent movements, tankies, putinists and other equivalent authoritarian chuddery
Racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, etc.
Complaining about SJWs
Loud anti-systemd nonsense, dogmatic suckless/”minimalism”, cat-v, cryptocurrencies and other sketchy religious movements"

Look at that: If you dislike systemd and like debian packages, but want Phosh instead of hildon (on Maemo Leste), Movuan has you covered:
gitlab.com/l2385/movuan/movuan
Basically, that's a #devuan for your #PinePhone
