David Rosen of Wolfire Games explains why they're taking on Valve in a lawsuit
7 May 2021 at 12:51 pm UTC Likes: 1

I remember buying the first Humble Indie Bundle and playing all the games, and when I got to Lugaru (which I knew came from the initiators of HIB) I thought "wow, these guys just piggybacked on their fellow indie developers' actual games to push this hot piece of unfinished game / tech demo out of the door". And now I read that their $30 game that was supposed to be an actually-finished Lugaru is still unfinished after all these years (I have it from some bundle but after bad experience with Lugaru I haven't touched it). And they are suing Valve over wanting a fair treatment by their business partner... The entitlement just drips form that guy... :huh:

I am still using SteamOS, was very happy with it in the beginning, but the last time it has been updated was almost three years ago, so to me it looks like Valve abandoned it completely. Lots of libraries are completely outdated now so that many games won't launch anymore...

Would like to switch to GamerOS, but the last time I tried it, it was incapable to use more than one hard disk. Does anymore know if this has been fixed already? (my system has a small SSD to boot from plus a huge HDD to install games on it.)
I was in *exactly* the same boat, but eventually I had to switch because some newer games just didn't work and kids wouldn't get off me... so I installed GamerOS and it was a painful experience but eventually got everything set up (fstab and all), fixed audio numerous times until it stopped breaking (for now) installed minecraft from flathub (though apparently I need to uninstall and reinstall it after every update), and even installed chromium after an even more painful experience (for GeForceNow - Fortnite... controller doesn't work though). All in all, it's noticeably worse than SteamOS (at least in terms of installing and configuring) but it's as good as it gets while we wait for SteamOS 3 4. :whistle:

Sad news. Will the game stay listed for sale, though?

If it's totally random, I would of course love to get a copy. But otherwise it might be best to gift it to whom played and finished the first two games, which I haven't so far. :sad:

Sofa gaming Linux distro GamerOS version 23 is out continuing to fill the gap of SteamOS
8 Mar 2021 at 3:16 pm UTC

Does it update automatically? Because I have on the kids' pc and they can't play Minecraft today, doesn't start. Coincidence?

[edit] I checked the system info and indeed it's version 23. So how do I fix it? Anyone with a similar problem?
