Yet another rad gaming tool parts ways with Microsoft

Luxtorpeda, a compatibility tool that will automatically download and install open-source engine reimplementations—and other mods—for supported games you run with it, has completed a migration to Codeberg. Dev d10sfan wrote, "The luxtorpeda project has completed a migration to codeberg!

This is mainly from the latest issues with github, from stability, AI, and where they are putting their focus". For instance, fire up a copy of Morrowind on Linux using Luxtorpeda, and it'll have OpenMW up and running for you in a jiffy. GitHub has been a mecca of open-source development for a very long time, and even Microsoft acquiring it in 2018 didn't shake loose most of its devs despite some controversy.

But the site has recently come under fire, on the one hand because Microsoft simply cannot keep its AI tendrils to itself—training its LLMs on data hosted on the site and constantly badgering devs to use Copilot—and because it also can't seem to keep GitHub running consistently of late.
