It's Sunday, I have my coffee ready next to me in my favourite mug and it's time to take a look at things we've missed for Linux and Linux gaming around the web.

The Solus distribution developers are a clever bunch, with their Linux Steam Integration software package and snaps, they are hoping to "relieve the pressure on distributions for supporting gaming".

Since the weekends are generally our quiet time, as I take them to spend a little time with family I'm asking a question: What have you been playing and what do you think?

While 'asset flips' are becoming a common occurrence, pre-made art assets are still a valuable resource when used correctly. Asset Forge and Kenney assets might be quite useful!

Take this with a rather large bag of suspicion! Netmarketshare is reporting that Linux had 6.91% market share, which is higher than Mac for the first time.

Ever heard of the on-demand subscription gaming service Jump? It's an on-demand game streaming service and Icculus just ported The End is Nigh to it.

This is a weird one, after blogging for a while about porting Banished to Linux (and Mac), the developer seems to have given up on it.

Duck Game is a popular action game that's a little insane and it's actually possible to run it on Linux, thanks to developer "0x0ade".

Another month, another record. Linux market share has now hit 3.37% according to the netmarketshare website.

Without continued support from our amazing readers, we wouldn’t be able to continue doing what we do!

Ryan "Icculus" Gordon, the man responsible for maintaining many development tools like SDL 2 and who ported many games to Linux, is looking for new games to port. The fun thing is, he doesn't require payment since he's funded by his Patreon.

Well now, it's been quite some time since I asked a direct question to my readers. Here we are once again, as I open up the floor to you.

You asked, some of you repeatedly and so I listened. GOL now officially runs a server for Rust and you're all welcome to join in.

I've been chatting to the founders of Parsec, a new game streaming service that allows you to stream games from any cloud machine to your desktop. They just released Linux support and apparently it even works on streaming to a Raspberry Pi.

Thimbleweed Park developer Ron Gilbert mentioned on Twitter how strong the Linux (and Mac) sales have been, and that it would be silly to ignore it.

It seems an Arch update today has broken a few games, several Feral Interactive titles as well as Civilization VI from Aspyr Media no longer run. UPDATED, see the bottom.

A little odd news to start the day today, it seems Games Republic, the store previously owned by 11 bit studios that closed down at the end of last year is coming back online.

I've debated for quite some time setting up my own more generalised Linux and technology site, so screw it, I did it. Announcing LifeOnLinux as a new experiment!

I have been debating writing about this since we are mainly a gaming news site (I should really setup another site for all the other Linux news I want to write about!), but Canonical switching back to GNOME on Ubuntu is very big news for everyone.

RUNNING WITH RIFLES is the rather excellent top-down shooter with RPG elements that has Linux support. A major patch was just released along with a big DLC announcement.
