Vous jouez sous Linux et votre bibliothèque Steam, GOG ou Epic tourne à peu près entièrement grâce à Proton ? Cela signifie que, malheureusement, vos jeux Xbox PC et ceux du Game Pass, eux, restent à la porte... C'est con d'avoir un catalogue entier, payé tous les mois rubis sur l'ongle et de ne pas pouvoir y toucher ailleurs que sous Windows, via le streaming cloud.

Mais cette époque est révolue puisque Xodus est un projet open source qui rétro-ingénierie la chaîne Xbox PC pour faire tourner ces jeux directement sur Linux. Son dépôt coche déjà la connexion de l'appareil, celle du compte, l'autorisation Xbox, la récupération des licences, le téléchargement des paquets de jeu et le déchiffrement des exécutables à la demande. Bref, la douane est passée (non pas Hamza, celle de Microsoft).

Ce qui bloquait n'a jamais été Proton puisqu'en fait un jeu Xbox PC moderne repose sur le GDK de Microsoft et arrive emballé dans un conteneur MSIXVC chiffré, dont les clés dépendent de la licence attachée au compte.

Rien à voir donc avec un .exe posé dans un dossier.

L'équipe, emmenée par Paweł Lidwin qui contribue aussi à Heroic , a donc dû fabriquer ses propres briques, une bibliothèque d'authentification Xbox, un lecteur capable de parcourir ces conteneurs, et surtout une réimplémentation libre de xgameruntime.dll, le composant par lequel les jeux réclament les services Xbox (Celle-là est toujours en chantier). Le projet entretient même ses propres versions modifiées de Wine et de Proton.

Sauf qu'on ne joue toujours pas... Aucun binaire n'est distribué, il faut tout compiler soi-même, et les fameux services Xbox doivent encore être servis aux jeux à travers Wine. Le lancement, c'est donc le gros morceau restant même si un jeu auquel vous avez droit se récupère et se déchiffre.

Côté catalogue, il faut du GDK et du MSIXVC. Le MSIXVC2 n'est pas géré, Gears of War 4 reste sur le carreau, et les titres rétrocompatibles se récupèrent mais réclameront peut-être des correctifs dans wine ou dxvk. Quant au déchiffrement, il s'appuie sur les instructions AES du processeur. Cela signifie que sur une machine trop vieille pour les avoir, ça ne ramera même pas... ça s'arrête juste net sur une instruction "illegal".

Et puis, vous vous en doutez, il y a Microsoft... Le projet n'est ni affilié ni approuvé par Redmond, donc c'est à utiliser à vos risques et périls, car rien n'empêche l'éditeur de changer une clé ou de modifier un bout du protocole et de refermer la porte du jour au lendemain. Avec Xodus, personne n'a rien promis, et c'est un pari sur un avenir incertain... Toutefois le dépôt avance bien quand même, sans binaire à la clé pour le moment.

Nothing spent three phone generations convincing us that a few light strips on the back of a device counted as a personality. The Glyph Interface was the whole brand in one gesture, a Morse code of notifications you could read with the phone face-down on a bar table. Then Phone (3) arrived in July 2025 with the Glyph Matrix instead, a small dot matrix circle tucked in the corner, and the comment sections held a funeral. “NO GLYPH” became the shortest and angriest review of the year. Which makes it pretty funny that the most convincing argument for reviving that light language has come from a fan concept for a synthesizer.

Abdelrahman Shaapan’s Mini OP-3 wraps a semi-transparent rear panel around a compact synth, with LED effects and dynamic graphics that pulse along to whatever you’re playing. Flip it over and the front is pure Teenage Engineering, a clamshell with a touchscreen lid and a control deck of encoders, transport keys, numbered pattern buttons, and one red COPY key doing a lot of emotional labor. Shaapan calls the project an exercise in translating the design DNA of both brands into a single object. He also added a charm attachment point on the screen corner, because it is 2026 and everything needs a little guy hanging off it. The pitch is a smaller OP that keeps you off your laptop during production and live sets.

Designer: Abdelrahman Shaapan

Ten function keys run across the top of the deck, covering waveform and tape banks, sync, split, copy, paste, metronome, scissors, monitoring, and loop. Below them sit eight encoders arranged in a greyscale gradient from black to white, which is the single most OP-1 gesture available to any designer working in this language. A transport row follows with record, play, and numbered pattern keys, then a modifier row carrying shift, divide, ramp, and a random button. The hinge hides a perforated speaker band, and the front edge packs two USB-C ports beside four 3.5mm jacks. Every control is round, tactile, and spaced like it expects to be hit fast in a dark room.

Nothing built its identity on light as an interface, then retired it on the Phone (3) in favour of a dot matrix that most owners still describe as a downgrade. Shaapan’s rear panel puts that language back to work, running LED effects and dynamic graphics that respond to your audio in real time. On a phone, reactive lighting was always slightly decorative, a party trick for incoming calls and little else. On an instrument, it has an actual job, giving you a visual read on your track from across a stage or a crowded studio. Relocating the Glyph to the one product category where it earns its keep is a sharper piece of brand analysis than most fan concepts manage.

Shaapan rendered the whole thing in KeyShot. The soft-touch black body, the subtle sheen on the encoder caps, and that partially translucent rear panel with internals showing through all read as convincingly manufacturable rather than aspirational. The charm attachment point is the detail I keep coming back to, since TE has always sold straps and cases as identity objects and phone charms are having a genuine cultural moment. We covered a Teenage Engineering DJ console concept a couple of years back, and this one clears that bar comfortably. The presentation is good enough to be mistaken for a leak.

One thing undercuts the pitch. Shaapan says the goal was minimizing laptop dependence, but three renders show Ableton Live running on the touchscreen, which means the device became a laptop instead of replacing one. Ableton’s own Push 3 already solves the standalone problem and charges around two thousand dollars for it. That gap between the stated intent and the renders is the part a real product team would have to close first. Everything else here, though, is a better Nothing product than Nothing’s last one.
