Wow, a totally free as in freedom Minecraft engine and a game. Gotta get into this at long last. Found an interview (by Wikinews) of the main developer too via news about the release: https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Open_source_game_developer_Perttu_Ahola_talks_about_Minetest_with_Wikinews [External Link]

This is how it always starts. IBM has never been a Linux company, they have shady past in the 30's 40's Germany and Red Hat is but a name now from what it used to be.

There are plenty of alternatives out there.

Imagination is a company and competition for Nvidia, Intel and AMD? Or what's the deal here. I have apparently never heard about Imagination until now!

Oh Zombies even here. To ruin even a Command & Conquer kind of game. WHY ARE THESE THROWN EVERY WHERE

Quoting: blindcoderI _want_ to pick one up, but it's _still_ a lot of money for a device I don't really _need_.

Yep, can relate. It isn't like I ever go outside, but it'd be fun to tinker with and waste time for that one occasion when going outside is mandatory. Wouldn't regret a free one :tongue:

It's also nice in bed!
You do go to bed, don't you? ;)

Steam Deck is such a comfortable device and the screen is big enough for a real pleasant gaming experience in bed and corner of a sofa :woot: "Steam Deck is good in bed" :heart:

Quoting: headless_cyborgThis is great but I'm just afraid that Nvidia will one day decide that they don't want this to be a thing and start requiring some kind of signed packages.
I already moved to AMD but I've got one Nvidia laptop around, will definitely give it a try once it's ready.

A must recommendation to pick AMD for new gamers (and other kind of users too) on Linux. That's for sure at moment.

When can we expect to game on these open drivers on Linux, without never touching those closed source proprietary official Nvidia drivers again? :huh:

Quoting: GroganI'll never buy anything developed or published by Bethesda now... that's Microsoft. It's not even just vindictive hatred (though, guilty as charged), I simply don't trust that they won't wrap it up in some detestable UWP/Microsoft Store interface either now, or down the road when they convert all their titles. I'll be lucky if they leave the Bethesda games I already have, alone.

It is also my opinion that Microsoft intends to undermine the Steam Deck and what Valve is doing. Look at what they did with that Asus handheld running Windows... Microsoft offering Steam Deck trade-ins. Despite their smarm, the leopard has neither changed its spots nor has it lost its appetite for your face.

P.S. If anybody thinks Microsoft has any noble motives in buying game publishers and the studios under their auspices:

Indiana Jones Game Is Not Coming To PS5 As Bethesda Confirms Xbox-Exclusivity
https://www.psu.com/news/indiana-jones-game-is-not-coming-to-ps5-as-bethesda-confirms-xbox-exclusivity/ [External Link]

MachineGames’ highly anticipated Indiana Jones game is an Xbox console exclusive, Bethesda’s Pete Hines has revealed while speaking in court yesterday on the opening day of Microsoft’s battle with the Federal Trade Commission.

FTC lawyers asked the executive if Disney had signed a deal with Bethesda parent company ZeniMax prior to Microsoft acquiring the studio to “make an Indiana Jones game for multiple consoles,” with Hines replying “yes.” He later confirmed that Bethesda had amended the Disney agreement so that he game would now be appearing exclusively for PC and Xbox platforms.

Nothing to add here. Thank you for the well put "heads up". Does a significant portion of Linux gamers have a short memory or just being naive? Microsoft :heart: Linux zilch or has changed one bit when looked closer...

Didn't know what this game was about. The first impression from those atmospheric pics was something story rich and no violence. Then, again the same thing also in this game: zombies. Just no. They ruin everything and are everywhere still on and on. WHY!?

aaann kicked ass seriously!! read and saw pics about something called Raatetier battle,,

That's Battle of Raate Road, in -30 degrees celsius. The casualties for USSR were... Well, in a lack of a better word: substantial. I hear the historians talk about The Miracle of Winter War.
