SuperTuxKart, the 3D kart racing game, announced the second release candidate for the next 1.5 release few days ago.
Due to inner team disagreement, the release of version 1.5 was delayed. And, it explained the reason by announcing SuperTuxKart Evolution (the name of the next major release) few days ago.
Now the problem has been fixed. And, SuperTuxKart 1.5-rc2 is available as the first update afterwards.
The new release candidate introduced a graphical option in “Graphics” settings page, allowing to easily switch rendering driver to Vulkan or DirectX9 (Windows only), without having to edit the configuration file. While the default is still OpenGL.
In addition, the release migrated the online services to a new, more powerful server, which fixed occasional server disconnect issue due to sporadic overloads and improved server list loading performance.
As well, a new forum is introduced for sharing your tips, artistic creations, and discussing about the game’s development. For more, see the official announcement.
The official packages for Windows, Linux, macOS, Switch, and Android, are available to download via the link below:
For Linux, select download the .tar.gz tarball depends on your CPU. They include x86_64 for modern Intel/AMD, x86 for old 32-bit CPU, arm64 for 64-bit ARM (e.g., Snapdragon processors), 32-bit armv7, and RISC-V processors.
If you don’t even know your CPU processor architecture type, open terminal and run uname -m command to tell.
After downloaded the tarball, decompress, then run the run_game.sh file to launch the game and enjoy!

Euphonica, the modern GTK4 based MPD client, finally added official package for Linux. Here’s how to install it in Ubuntu desktop.
For those who never heard of Euphonica, it’s a client app for Music Player Daemon (MPD) that provides a modern user interface for managing large local music collection (tens of thousands of songs).
It uses GTK4 + LibAdwaita for a modern UI designed for GNOME (though also works in other desktops), and support basic MPD features, such as playback control, queue reordering, ReplayGain, crossfade and MixRamp configuration.
It can automatically fetch album arts, artist avatars from Last.fm and Music Brainz, and use the current album art for the app window background.
There are also synced song lyrics support through either the 2 external sources alongwith LRCLIB or local files, as well as MPRIS integration, allowing to control you MPD instance via keyboard shortcuts and shell applets without having to keep the app window open.
As you see in the screenshot, the client also has a built-in visualiser, which can read from either FIFO output (not work for Flatpak so far due to sandboxing) or PipeWire output. And, it provides few basic options to switch between and configure them.
Other features include:
As a young application, it’ll keep updating with new features and improvements. See it in Github page for more details.
See more screenshots about Euphonica:
The app added official Flatpak package, a few days ago, for running the MPD client in sandbox on most Linux (amd64 and arm64).
Linux Mint 21+ and Fedora Workstation (with third party repository enabled) may search & install it from either Software Manager or GNOME Software.
Euphonica in Mint software manager
Tips: the Flatpak package is NOT verified at the moment, though officially maintained by software developers, so you may need to configure your Software Manager first before being able to install it.
For Debian, Ubuntu, and other Linux, do the steps below one by one to install the package:
sudo apt install flatpak
Other Linux may follow the official setup guide for Flatpak support
flatpak install https://dl.flathub.org/repo/appstream/io.github.htkhiem.Euphonica.flatpakref
flatpak update io.github.htkhiem.Euphonica
NOTE: After enabled Flatpak support, you need a log out and back in to apply environment variable changes, or you won’t see the app icon from menu.
And for beginners, you need to install & setup MPD daemon before being able to play & manage your local music collection.
To uninstall Euphonica MPD client, use command:
flatpak uninstall --delete-data io.github.htkhiem.Euphonica
Here skip --delete-data if you want to keep local app data, and run flatpak uninstall --unused to remove useless run-times (e.g., Gnome platform which was also installed in sandbox).
