RIP Anandtech :(

After Tom's Hardware started to veer away from their original highly technical reviews, Anandtech had been my go-to site for any highly technical review that went beyond just benchmarking Cinebench and Cyberpunk 2077. I currently see no other site with that level of technological depth that could fully replace them. They will be missed.
Game developer "WhiteGiantRPG" have put their games on Itch recently. That includes Last Dream, Last Dream: World Unknown, Last Dream Fishing Arcade, as well as a store page for their upcoming sequel Last Dream II. All have a native Linux version and are available DRM free.
I have been gaming since 1992 and building PCs since 2003. I enjoy Linux, supporting FOSS projects and am a tinfoil hat connoisseur.
Many FOSS projects rely on donations. If you have money to spare but don't know which to donate to take a look at the above links on Ko-fi, Github, and Open Collective. Anything on there that I have sponsered or contributed to is something I have found to be worthy.
