FOSS 2D space sim "Naev" has been updated to version 0.11.5. This update provides build support for BSD systems and fixes an issue with combat hologram projector. The game is available DRM free on Itch.io; from Flathub; from Github; and through various distro repos. The code is licensed using GPLv3.0 and the game was made using SDL.

We've done a massive overhaul of our Distrobox tutorial, including up-to-date information about using Distrobox, new accompanying images, and better instructions.
We can't stress how important it is for users to read this and other tutorials before using Nitrux.
This week's donation went to the Tiled Map Editor Project. It's a FOSS tool for editing maps for games ranging from RPGs to puzzle games. Some games that use it are Carrion, Shovel Knight, Alwa's Legacy and more. Different parts of the code are licensed differently. This includes Apache 2.0, GPLv2.0, and a couple others.

We have some great news about @schmiddionmobile’s Railway: It is no longer limited to the HAFAS API that amongst other Deutsche Bahn uses! 🎉
Now, you can test the Swiss SBB on Flathub beta (https://flathub.org/beta-repo/appstream/de.schmidhuberj.DieBahn.flatpakref).
There you can also use Transitous – with worldwide coverage based entirely on community-aggregated open data sources. Not as reliable and up-to-date as our other providers, but you can get involved to improve it.
Feel free to share feedback with us over at https://matrix.to/#/%23railwayapp:matrix.org.
I have been gaming since 1992 and building PCs since 2003. I enjoy Linux, supporting FOSS projects and am a tinfoil hat connoisseur.
