The Blender Foundation has announced the release of version 4.4 of its free and open source 3D graphics tool. Developers have emphasised stability for this release, which was developed over late 2024 and early 2025, leading them to dub their group effort the Winter of Quality. During this time, over 700 bug fixes have been addressed. Blender also now contains several key updates. Chief among these is a new way to collate multiple data-block animations into a single action using the Slots feature. Although Vulkan support is still experimental, performance has now been considerably improved. Some features are missing, such as OpenXR, OpenSubdiv and Hydra viewport. However, it also has improved compatibility with GPU drivers, including the Nvidia RTX 2000-RTX 5000 series. The OptiX denoiser has also been upgraded. It…

Chinese RISC I’m intrigued by all the coverage about RISC-V. I’m also a bit concerned. 1) Most of the laptops reviewed so far in LXF that have that architecture use system-on-a-chip processors. 2) Most if not all such chips are made in China. Am I worried that opening GIMP will cause it to send a report to Beijing? No, not yet. Still, is anyone at Linux Format aware of any efforts to produce RISC-V processors either in Europe or in the US? Mike Neary, Spring City Neil says… I think there is great interest in RISC-V in China because it’s open technology that can’t suddenly be sanctioned by the West. Established Western companies have less interest as they can’t control production nor include their own blackbox blobs that could be…

This Arch-based distro follows a rolling-release model. However, the development team has released snapshots of Garuda annually since 2012. The latest version, code-named Broadwing, is available in a variety of spins. These include versions with Garuda’s dr460nized desktop, a custom version of KDE Plasma designed to resemble Mac OS. Alternate spins include versions with COSMIC, Gnome, Cinnamon, XFce and Mokka – a Catppuccin pastel-themed KDE desktop, which is the focus of this review. After downloading the weighty 3.1GB ISO, we booted into Garuda’s live environment from a virtual machine. We noted, however, that the main site’s download page advises against doing this due to missing graphics acceleration. Setup is handled by the Calamares installer. After choosing the account, we opted for a clean install. System encryption is supported. Once setup…

Zen Brave LibreWolf Vivaldi Tor Browser This month, we’re looking at five browsers that place privacy and security at the forefront. We live so much of our lives online these days, and the web browser is our portal to that online world. It makes sense, therefore, that we do everything we can to beef up security when browsing. We’re particularly interested in browsers that can enhance privacy without compromising day-to-day usability. We’d prefer not to miss out on features and convenience just to feel safe. Security and privacy aren’t quite the same thing. Security is protection from malicious attacks that can be launched over the internet. When it comes to browsers, privacy is more concerned with preventing the user from being tracked online. Given half a chance, interested parties will…

AMD’s brand new Radeon RX 9070 and RX 9070 XT both shipped on 6th March. The AMD RDNA 4 architecture and Radeon RX 9000-series GPUs were partially revealed at CES 2025, except they weren’t part of AMD’s keynote. These will go up against the Nvidia Blackwell RTX 50-series GPUs and the Intel Battlemage Arc B-series GPUs. Like Nvidia’s RTX 50-series graphics cards, AMD’s RDNA 4 launch seems to have been delayed, though perhaps for different reasons. If you look at graphics card availability right now, what becomes immediately clear is that virtually everything is sold out or, at the very least, seriously overpriced. It seems AMD cleared the RX 7000-series GPUs from shop shelves in December and January. Only the lower tier RX 7600 and RX 7600 XT are still…

This tutorial concludes our scratching the surface of the OpenDocument Format (ODF), which makes it easy to automatically create as many office files as you need, starting from a basic template. Like last month, this tutorial will not teach in detail how to write code in some language to accomplish some specific, single-purpose task. This is the final part of the proof that complex texts, slideshows and spreadsheets are not black magic that only sophisticated office suites like LibreOffice or Microsoft Office can handle… As long as they are in the right file format: ODF. That’s because, as we discussed in detail last time, while the internal components of ODF files are actually verbose piles of text, they remain just that: plain text. Stuff that, especially on Linux, anybody with…

The early 1980s marked a sea change in the world of computers. Thanks to the likes of the BBC Micro and the ZX Spectrum, the dream of owning and programming a computer turned into a possibility. And that possibility became a reality for millions. The vast majority of these home computers were based on 6502 or Z80 processors. Even if Linux had been around at the time, though, it wouldn’t have found its way on to these machines because of their 8-bit processors, minimal memory capacity, and lack of a hard disk. As the decade drew to a close, though, new machines were targeting the computer enthusiast. These machines had what it took to support Linux, and that operating system would soon become available. Here we look at how Linux…

The Logitech Lift is an ergonomic wireless mouse designed for people with small-to-medium-sized hands – it’s not for everyone, but it’s nice to see an option for those who might not find the larger Logitech MX Vertical comfortable to use. The Lift also comes in both right-handed and left-handed versions, making it one of the only ergonomic mouse options for left-handed people (though while the right-handed version comes in pink, white and graphite, the left-handed version only comes in the latter). The Lift has a vertical design, which puts your hand at an optimal 57-degree angle – also known as the handshake angle. This angle is more natural than the typical horizontal angle mice normally have, but the design does lift your hand away from your desk. If you’re used…

The Microsoft Modern Mobile Mouse is a thin little credit card of a pointer that presumes the most comfortable form factor is to have as little mouse in your hand as possible. This makes it great for travel and style, especially with its eight available colours and Bluetooth connectivity. At 78g with batteries installed, it’s easy to carry with you. At the same time, its sleek rectangular exterior makes it difficult to hold for certain grip types, and it doesn’t come with extra buttons or too much configurability. With just a left button, a right button and a clickable scroll wheel (non-tilt), it isn’t meant for more than basic work. The wheel’s push-in button can be remapped to input a key combination, open the screen snipping tool or even input…

We’ve always maintained that a good gaming mouse is also a good computer mouse in general, and that’s definitely the case with the SteelSeries Rival 3. This sleek, medium-sized peripheral features a no-nonsense, semi-ambidextrous design with two programmable thumb buttons and a pretty LED strip on the bottom. The Rival 3 is the only mouse here with programmable RGB lighting, and while that won’t make you any more productive, it will make your desk look a whole lot prettier. Overall, the Rival 3 performed well across multiple games, including Overwatch, Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition, Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales and World of Warcraft. We took a few minutes beforehand to reprogram the thumb buttons for each title. Having suffered through the subpar performance of some truly cheap gaming mice,…

Thunderbird Clapper Media Player Bottles Exercise Timer KPhotoAlbum ProtonVPN Fastfetch Blinken KsirK Refine Qpdf Tools Version: 136 Web: www.thunderbird.net Thunderbird is Mozilla’s popular feature-rich email client. The app was often criticised for its slow release cycle, but has recently moved to spitting out new releases monthly in order to ferry fixes and new features to users faster than before. The easiest way to grab the latest release is via its official Flatpak with flatpak install flathub org.mozilla.Thunderbird. On first launch, you’re asked to set up an email account. Enter your name, email address and password. Thunderbird attempts to auto-configure the email settings, otherwise you have to manually configure the server settings by keying in the IMAP and SMTP settings for your email provider. You also get the option to connect…

Version: 1.8.1 Web:https://github.com/mfep/exercise-timer Exercise Timer is a simple app for managing high-intensity interval training (HIIT) workouts. You can use it to set up custom timers for exercise intervals and rest periods, which essentially makes it a good option for any timed exercise routine. The app is primarily designed for Gnome, but you can install it on any Flatpak-enabled distro with flatpak install flathub xyz.safeworlds.hiit. It has a simple interface. Hit the Create Training button to configure your workout. Begin by giving the routine a name, then use the sliders to set the duration of each exercise interval in seconds, the length of each rest period, the number of sets or rounds you want to complete, and the preparation time. When you’ve configured your workout, press the Create button to save…

Version: 2.38.0 Web: https://github.com/fastfetch-cli/fastfetch Fastfetch is a nifty little CLI tool that displays system information inside a terminal window in a visually appealing manner. It’s similar to Neofetch but focuses on performance and flexibility. To fetch the latest version, head to the project’s GitHub releases page, which has pre-compiled binaries for both DEB and RPM-based distros. After downloading the relevant binary for your distro, use sudo dnf install fastfetch-linux-amd64.rpm to install it on RPM-based distros, or sudo apt install fastfetchlinux-amd64.deb to install on DEB-based distros. After installation, simply type fastfetch in the terminal. This displays the ASCII logo of your distro along with lots of system information. Fastfetch is easy to tweak and fine-tune, and you can customise its output via command-line arguments. For instance, you can limit the details.…

Version: 0.5.2 Web: https://tesk.page/refine/ Refine is a graphical configuration tool for the Gnome desktop environment. It allows users to tweak some advanced and experimental Gnome settings, through an intuitive graphical interface. Refine aggregates settings that are often hidden or difficult to find, which makes it a must-use tool for Gnome users to help them tweak their desktop without manually editing configuration files. Refine is distributed as a Flatpak and can be installed with flatpak install flathub page.tesk.Refine. The app has a straightforward two-pane interface. Select from one of the categories listed on the left to bring up the relevant settings on the right. Under Appearance, you can switch cursor and icons, as well as change the fonts for the interface and more. Then there’s Mouse & Touchpad, from where you…

The debate surrounding Linux coding standards has taken a new turn, after Linus Torvalds openly lambasted an HDR test patch for the Direct Rendering Manager (DRM) subsystem in Linux 6.15. His unhappiness centred on the fact that the code was built as a part of full kernel builds, so leaves behind unwanted files in the include directories that he called “turds”. Torvalds added: “The thing that made me notice that it was still there was that ‘git status’ complains about the stupid turds not being ignored. But more importantly, those turds also break filename completion! So no, adding it to gitignore doesn’t actually fix the problem. This thing needs to die.” Intel engineers waded into the discussion by acknowledging the oversight. They then suggested relocating the hdrtest files to. hdrtest…

AMD’s 3D V-Cache technology has proven to be the killer tech that delivers dominating performance over Intel in gaming, and the second-gen revision propels the 16-core, 32-thread chip to a whole new level of gaming performance – while preserving the lion’s share of performance in productivity tasks. Naturally, performance will vary by title due to the vagaries of the 3D V-Cache tech, but the 9950X3D is impressive in a wide range of workloads, and its higher 170W TDP also unlocks exceptional Intel-beating performance in many of our productivity benchmarks. AMD’s 3D V-Cache tech is in its third generation, and this time round, AMD moved the vertically-stacked 64MB L3 cache chiplet from the top to the bottom of the compute chiplet for higher thermal headroom AMD’s goal is to master both…

The name Ubuntu is derived from a Bantu word that roughly translates as ‘humanity towards others’. Since October 2004, this community spirit has been reflected by regular releases of this Debian-based OS. Over the years, Ubuntu has undergone many iterations. Initially, its flagship edition deployed the Gnome 2 desktop environment. This all changed with the advent of Ubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhal in 2011, which heralded Canonical’s own Unity desktop environment, which provided a more modern and touch-friendly interface. In 2017, Canonical abandoned Unity in favour of Gnome. Ubuntu’s release cycle now roughly follows that of new versions of the desktop environment, with new versions being released approximately every six months. At the time of writing, Ubuntu 25.04 (scheduled for 17th April) has yet to be released, so our review focuses…

Not only is it technically possible to run Ubuntu (or any other Linux distro) alongside Windows, it’s also relatively painless. That said, you should still look to take suitable precautions and prepare your system for life as a dual-boot machine. Let’s start with the obvious fail-safe procedure: take a full system backup. This ensures that in the worst-case scenario, you can simply restore this backup and start again, no damage done. The best tool for the job is Hasleo Backup Suite Free (www.easyuefi.com). Choose Backup > System Backup to back up all the partitions required to restore Windows to a working state, and take the time to click Backup Options > Advanced > Check The Integrity Of The Backup Image Files On Completion to verify the backup. Once done, visit…

With great power may very well come great responsibility. But with a repository of important files, there definitely comes a need for security. Depending on the nature of the files, of course. While one might certainly feel the need to safeguard the toddler’s attempts at drawing a green-coloured snowman, you needn’t necessarily encrypt such musings. On the other hand, if you do have files that need to be encrypted for safekeeping, Eddy is a useful little utility with no learning curve. A quarter way into the 21st century, computer tools and apps shouldn’t require users to jump through hoops, or master new concepts and technologies to take advantage of them. One area where this is often lacking is encryption, because while there are tools you can use easily enough, they…

There are really three parts to picking (and using) a mouse for a computer system: the mouse itself, the software it uses, and the settings. Of course, as this is Linux, the software side is more complicated, but that’s what makes it fun. Picking the hardware side of the mouse isn’t that difficult – we’ll cover the options you should keep an eye out for later, and there’s a huge range out there, with some eye-watering prices. The issue (as we saw with keyboards) is that the customisation software that many manufacturers tout is only available on Windows and Mac OS, which seems a worse situation than with keyboards. This means that any fancy RGB lighting or custom buttons may not be as readily available to Linux users. Thankfully, however,…

The Lenovo Go Wireless Mouse is a cheaper take on the vertical mouse layout than the Logitech Lift and the Logitech MX Vertical, with a price that ranges from £30-£50 depending on sales (which Lenovo frequently has). Despite this, it’s got a strong luxury feel thanks to the comfortable, stylish cork side finish, and it also has many of the Lift’s and MX Vertical’s strengths. The feature that will draw the most eyeballs to the Go Wireless Vertical, though, is the UV-coated cork that covers most of its body. This material is meant to be resistant to liquids and easy to clean, according to Lenovo. It includes the natural, 57-degree handshake position angle and six programmable buttons (one less than you’ll find on the MX Vertical). The Go Wireless mouse…

The Microsoft Arc Mouse is a more ergonomic take on the Microsoft Modern Mobile Mouse that nonetheless loses some functionality in the pursuit of greater comfort. It feels great in the hands, so much so that it might convince you to abandon a claw grip for a palm grip instead. However, its hair-trigger button (which doesn’t physically distinguish between left and right click zones) and its lack of scroll wheel means it’s not for everyone. At nearly £70, the Arc Mouse is considerably more expensive than the Modern Mobile Mouse, but it is still affordable compared to other ergonomic mice. It also carries over some of the benefits of the Modern Mobile Mouse – an uncomplicated, lightweight body, multiple colour options, and easy portability (it can bend flat to fit…

If you’ve ever connected to the free Wi-Fi in a hotel or Airbnb, you’ll no doubt have found that your devices aren’t supported or that vital websites are blocked. If so, you could do with a travel router. This handy gizmo from GL.iNet is one such router that you can use to take your wireless network wherever you go. This is down to its extremely compact size (120 x 83 x 34mm), which while perhaps not minuscule enough to shove into your pocket, is sufficiently compact to fit inside a backpack. At 196 grams, it also won’t weigh you down too much. The GL-MT3000 also supports the latest Wi-Fi 6 standard and runs OpenWrt. This is one of its main advantages, given that this open source firmware offers many security…

Version: 0.8.0 Web: https://rafostar.github.io/clapper/ Clapper Media Player is a lightweight media player that can play all the popular media formats. While it’s not as widely known as some other media players, such as VLC, it’s got all the basic functionality you need from a media player, which it exposes through a simple and easy-on-thee-yes interface. The easiest way to install Clapper is via Flathub with flatpak install flathub com.github.rafostar.Clapper. Clapper works like any other media player. You can simply drag media files, whether audio or video, into the player’s interface to start playing them. Files dragged and dropped on the title bar begin playing immediately, while ones dropped anywhere else are added to the queue. You can also click Add Files to browse your disk and find the media files…

Version: 6.0.1 Web: www.kphotoalbum.org Billed as a photo management and organisation tool, KPhotoAlbum has an impressive list of features and can help you catalogue, tag and search through your photo collection efficiently. It’s particularly useful for those with large photo libraries, who want an efficient way to organise and find images. KPhotoAlbum is available in the official repos of most distros. And while it’s part of the KDE suite of apps, you can easily install it on any Flatpak-enabled distro with flatpak install flathub org.kde.kphotoalbum. When you first launch KPhotoAlbum, it prompts you to select a folder containing your photos. Choose the directory where your photos are stored, and KPhotoAlbum begins importing them into its database, which could take a while. Instead of displaying the images, the app’s dashboard shows…

Version: 24.12.3 Web: https://apps.kde.org/blinken/ Blinken is a memory game that is part of the KDE Education Project. It is inspired by the 1970s classic electronic game Simon. The game challenges players to remember and replicate sequences of lights and sounds, which makes it a great way to enhance memory and concentration. You can download the game on any Flatpak-enabled distro with flatpak install flathub org.kde.blinken. The game’s interface has a digital version of the Simon device, with four different colour buttons, each with its own distinctive sound. Press the Start button in the centre of the screen to begin the game. This powers on the device and illuminates the score counter. You can then choose which of the three different difficulty levels you want to attempt. Level 1 is the…

Version: 3.1.2 Web: https://github.com/silash35/qpdftools Q pdf Tools is a simple tool that’s designed for anyone who regularly works with PDF files. It’s based on the qpdf command-line tool and library, and exposes a range of common PDF editing features, such as compressing, splitting, merging and rotating PDFs, all through an intuitive interface. The app is officially distributed as a Flatpak and can be installed with flatpak install flathub br.eng.silas.qpdftools. The Qpdf Tools interface is composed of four big buttons, one for each of its functions. For instance, click Compress A PDF File to point the app to a PDF file, then select from one of the four compression options. These range from super-low resolution, which is optimised for viewing PDFs on the screen, to higher resolutions meant for printing. Then there’s…

THIS ISSUE: Aggressive AI annoyances Linus lambasts Linux patch Hypothetical HP handheld OTF is Trumped Open source platforms are under siege from aggressive AI web crawlers, which in some cases are overwhelming infrastructure, disrupting services and escalating costs. Some bots designed to scrape training data for AI models ignore instructions in website robot.txt files not to scrape site data. The overall effect can be similar to DOS (denial of service) attacks. Drew DeVault, founder and CEO of open source development platform SourceHut, recently stated that he’s currently spending 20-100% of his time “mitigating hyper-aggressive LLM [large language model] crawlers at scale”. Kevin Fenzi, a member of the Fedora Pagure project’s sysadmin team, has also stated that after repeatedly trying to block bot subnets, he had to resort to banning all…

HP has clarified that it has no immediate plans to produce a handheld gaming device in the vein of other tech manufacturers like ASUS and Lenovo. Online speculation flared briefly after an interview with Josephine Tan, HP’s SVP of gaming solutions. Tan praised SteamOS for being better suited to small screens on handhelds. However, she emphasised that HP is focused on its OMEN and HyperX brands. This hasn’t prevented Redditors from discussing a hypothetical HP handheld, jokingly wondering if users would need to pay a monthly subscription, as some HP printer owners do.…

We last covered Debian 12 (code name Bookworm) when it was released in LXF305. As most readers know, the OS is one of the oldest versions of Linux in active development. Debian follows a painstaking development process, whereby project members carefully curate packages for stability. This is why the OS forms the basis of so many popular Linux distros, such as Ubuntu. Packages are initially only accepted into Debian’s unstable branch. To become a candidate for the next release, it must be migrated into the testing branch. This is a meticulous process, as packages must not have any release-critical bugs, nor can they break any existing code used in the testing branch. The Debian Project is currently on the verge of the next major release of Debian. Version 13, code-named…

Two Point Studios has really cornered the niche market of taking a straight-laced concept and contorting it into something completely unserious, yet we were still taken aback by just how excellently crafted Two Point Museum is. It’s a fantastic evolution of its last two games, Two Point Hospital and Two Point Campus, easily being the developer’s greatest, quirkiest management sim to date. There are five museums to manage across the game’s campaign, each one just different enough to always be throwing new things our way. We started out in Memento Mile, a run-of-the-mill establishment sporting dusty fossils. Our first run-through there gave us very little responsibility, mostly keeping us tied into the basic loop of sending staff out on expeditions, displaying and decorating whatever they brought back, and then watching…

If you’re new to Linux, the first thing to understand is that, unlike Windows or Mac OS, Linux isn’t a single homogeneous operating system. It consists of multiple distributions, or distros, each sharing the Linux kernel but also developing their own building blocks, some of which are unique while others are freely shared between them. Think of Linux as the roots of a tree, with a single trunk that branches off in multiple directions with offshoots sprouting everywhere, all of which represent different distros. One of the most popular distros is Ubuntu. While it’s a fork of another distro, Debian, it’s also the progenitor of many further distros, like Linux Mint. That’s because Ubuntu is heavily supported by its parent company Canonical, ensuring it has ample resources for support and…

Are you sitting comfortably? Then let’s begin. First, insert your Ubuntu install media, then reboot or start your PC. If your PC is configured to look for bootable USB or CD/DVD media, you should see the GRUB menu appear – skip to the next paragraph. If not, look out for any startup messages, then press the key to choose which drive to boot from (if you only see an option to boot into the UEFI/BIOS settings, select that before navigating to the Boot section and looking for an option to override the current boot default; failing that, set the first boot device to your boot media, typically USB or DVD). When the GRUB menu appears, leave Try Or Install Ubuntu selected and hit Enter. Then wait while Ubuntu loads its…

If you’ve ever fancied yourself as a composer, or simply want to practise working with sheet music, there’s only one tool for the job. MuseScore Studio 4.5 has just been released and builds on years of development to add so many bells and whistles it’s hard to know where to start. What is MuseScore? It’s professional notation software that’s completely free and open source. You can use it with a MIDI keyboard to simplify note entry or manually transcribe music using your mouse and keyboard. It supports standard formats like MusicXML, too, so you can easily import music from other sources – it can even import from some PDF files. Making beautiful music A search for MuseScore in Ubuntu’s App Centre or Mint’s Software Manager brings up several versions, the…

Last issue, we examined some applications that can help you record information about your workouts, sleep schedule and activity levels on your computer. This time, we’re going to look at processing and visualising that data, mainly using the Python programming language. Many apps that record data can also plot the data, giving you an overview, but sometimes, you have niche requirements. This is where Python comes in, as it gives you a great deal of manual control over how you handle the data and how you plot it. Most logging software can export its data into a format such as CSV (comma-separated values), JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) or XML, and Python has modules that import these. You’d be amazed how easy it is to use Python to plot data as…

The Logitech MX Master 3S is worth every penny if you make use of all its features. It combines a comfortable, sculpted design with useful productivity features such as an electromagnetic scroll wheel, a separate, side-scrolling thumb wheel, and a ton of customisation options. It can also use Logi Flow through the Logi Options+ software, which is Windows and Mac OS only. The good news is Solaar (https://github.com/pwr-Solaar/Solaar) is fully open source and can mostly replace the custom controls you need. The MX Master 3S’s electromagnetic scroll wheel is one of its most impressive features. It lets you toggle between a smooth, free-scrolling feel or a notched scrolling feel with the press of a button – or automatically, based on how fast you spin it. It’s perfect for quickly scrolling…

Often, gaming gear is a cheap way to get your hands on a mouse with professional-level features. Razer is known mainly for its gaming peripherals, but it’s also been dabbling in the productivity sphere by taking some of those gaming features and translating them into a line specifically for productivity. The Razer Pro Click Mini is the second productivity-focused pointer from Razer, and it features quieter switches and a smaller footprint than its predecessor. Unlike other productivity-focused mice, it’s got a decently high max DPI (12,000) and polling rate (1,000Hz), seven programmable buttons, and low-latency 2.4GHz wireless connectivity. It also has five onboard memory profiles and fully remappable buttons – including the four-way tilt wheel, with both infinite and ratcheted scrolling modes. That makes this an especially powerful contender for…

The Logitech Ergo M575 Mouse is the hero your strained wrists have been waiting for. With it, you won’t need to move them at all. Just lay your hand on your mouse once, and you’re all set for eight hours straight without needing to move it again. Of course, your thumb will be getting a workout the whole time. That’s because this mouse uses a trackball to move the cursor. It’s not a new approach, but at £50 and with 2.4GHz and Bluetooth support, the Ergo M575 is more advanced than what you would have got in the ’90s. Using it takes some practice, of course, but it feels like a dream. It completely eliminates strain from repetitive motions, and the wide body contorts to your hand shape. Of course,…

Version: 51.20 Web: https://usebottles.com Bottles offers one of the most convenient ways to run Windows software atop Linux distros. The bulk of the heavy lifting is done by the Wine compatibility layer. On top of that, Bottles helps create isolated environments that have all the configurations and dependencies to ensure the Windows app runs smoothly. Bottles is available on Flathub, and can be installed with flatpak install flathub com.usebottles.bottles. When you fire it up for the first time, it’ll take a few minutes to configure itself. Click the + button to create a new bottle. Then give your bottle a name and select from one of the three environment types. There’s Gaming that’s optimised for running games, Software for running applications, and Custom that enables you to customise settings manually.…

Version: 24.12.3 Web: Another digital version of a classic is KDE’s KsirK strategy game, which is based on the Risk board game. The objective of the game is to conquer the world by strategically attacking neighbouring territories and managing your armies. Despite its KDE affiliation, you can install KsirK on any desktop through Flathub with flatpak install flathub org.kde.ksirk. Before you start a game, you can choose the number of players, from two to six, which can either be human or AI. The default goal of the game is to conquer the entire world. But if you select the Reach A Goal option, the game sets a goal for you randomly, for instance, conquering a specific number of countries. Then you need to name your players, and tag them to…
