Coolercontrol - a GUI to setup fan profiles based on temperature sensors in your system (other than just cpu from the bios) (gitlab.com)
I was just reminded of how useful this was for me, since i was too lazy to setup fan curves in the cli with pwmconfig. This took me 10 minutes of tinkering and my temps went down a lot under load on my gpu and the machine is a lot more silent when idling.

Heroic launcher improves GOG support with language, DLC, version management and more (github.com)

Proton Hotfix updated to support HELLDIVERS 2 on Steam Deck / Linux (www.gamingonlinux.com)
The game went from borked to working fine after the update according to ProtonDB. A lot of people suspected it would never happen considering the game has a rootkit anti-cheat, but this is good news.
