Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoValve and only Valve is THE guilty of this situation.

Valve must eliminate right now the online availability of Steam wallet codes in Argentinian and Turkish currencies.
To require credit cards from the country you are is the only way to sort this.

It's very difficult to get a credit card here. Only prepaid debit cards are available for the middle class, and myself personally, a few digital banks that popped up because we don't want to use our coin anymore.
To put it in perspective, Argentina is the country with most dollars on the outside than in the local banks. Government taxes are like 70% the value of what you buy.
It's an old model that will change next year because elections and a right wing capitalist leader figure waiting to become president by the people.

But this will happen soon to 1st world countries too if inflation keeps rising, therefore, I have studied a lot different economic systems, and crypto seems to be the only and best solution for everyone. You can see there popped out many sites that sells Steam cards for USD or crypto.

Quoting: notmrflibbleIt still needs systemd and is therefore still incompatible with Devuan. I still won't be using it.

Same here with MX Linux and sysvinit, although it supposedly also supports scripts for systemd, it is not always the case, systemd divides us again. Feral are very based though, maybe they would read this and apply a fix?

Quoting: DrakkerHorizon Chase Turbo is by FAR the best game of the lot. A true gem of a game.

>Lowpoly fast SEGA-like arcade racing.
>Music by Amiga's Lotus 3 Turbo Challenge music composer.
>Incredible polished and fun.
>Native Linux support.

Indeed, you can't go wrong wit this one.

I liked the first game and played often, but the difficulty curve have sold more copies if there were 2 or 3 easier levels, I'm not saying an easy mode.

I'm on MX Linux Debian based, changed to the beta, found no difference so far? did something wrong?

I liked it.. and it's just a "soulless" game maybe, but that makes it feel really "Portal 1"-like to me. Also, good lord, the performance it's astounding, I know it's just a map and assets with some interaction, but still, I knew since the first loading screen it couldn't be Source.

Hello, we have chatted before on Twitter when your site was small, I doubt you'll remember me.
Anyway, because Arch *needs* to be bleeding edge, it always uses the latest packages, we all know that; now, I have a Geforce GT710 2GB VRAM, although I can run 95% of games of the 700 on my list, NVIDIA decided to drop support for my card and throw it to legacy drivers. And Arch didn't like that. Manjaro also didn't like that. So I said bye bye and just got a SSD, I would use my HDD to put games, builds, etc, and the OS on the 256GB Kingston SSD.
I decided to install MX Linux, which I never used, and sounds strange, but that is because it's the devs of Mepis and Artix joined and made this distro. It was on top on DistroWatch at that time, and was on top yesterday as well.
It's super stable, everything works, the default WM is XFCE, and the best thing is, it doesn't use systemd, uses a custom sysv on init. It's FAST, I know I never tried a SSD, but I can tell it's really fast.
So, I update packages every time is needed, and set to use the latest NVIDIA drivers that supported my card. I don't like Legacy.
All games work as before, and with this speed I don't see the value on using Arch, I prefer something more stable, I already got speed.

Vulkan keeps growing. So glad it has real performance improvements, playing the new Doom on OpenGL was very difficult for me -changing the driver to Vulkan gave me easily 20 FPS more.
But it's a lot about the implementation, I have read Vulkan code and seems more -if not complex-, longer than OpenGL.

I wish the first DLC would be free...

I also played AGAIN StoneShard because of the new update, but died at the boss fight to get out of the dungeon; as you know, there's no save system until you're out... it's so irritating. The devs said they won't change it too.
What do you guys think?
