The TUXEDO Nano Pro is a powerhouse in a tiny box
4 Nov 2021 at 5:23 pm UTC

I laugh at this offer.This is just a waste of money.I can use my money to Martixmachine which is very popular in Mars and it uses martix, a linux-based OS.Can you believe it?Soon you will see when the clock strikes midnight and all the earthlings will see flying saucers in the sky.It will be a beginning for beatiful friendship end it will be the end for the Microsoft's tyranny.:happy: So the mankind embraces the freedom of Linux! Well all this could happen but only in dreams ofc. But seriously speaking this is very intresting machine but I still prefer Steam Deck over this. Besides I look for upgrades for my pc first before I buy new one. But I hope success for TUXEDO.:smile:

Linux has now seen 4 months of being above 1% on the Steam Hardware Survey
2 Nov 2021 at 5:21 pm UTC Likes: 3

Quoting: Purple Library GuySo since February we've gone from the doldrums of 0.8% to the not-quite-so-doldrums of, looks like over 1.1%, which is, what, something like a 37% increase. Not too shabby.

OK, the total's still tiny. I'll definitely be interested to see what happens when Steam Decks start to sell.
Me too.:smile:The future is full of promise. We can expect Steam Deck, sea level rise, global warming and universal starvation! Aaah That's bad. Maybe I should think positively. Anyways Steam Deck is worth waiting for in my opinion.:smile:

Linux has now seen 4 months of being above 1% on the Steam Hardware Survey

Hey!Linux Dominate world?Not going to happen before an attack from - surprise - from planet Mars. Yes I have looked though my telescope and seen martian spaceships gathering near Mars. And what is really jolly good is that there's tux logo on the side of the flagship!:happy:Hooray!Microsoft's end is near.Soon we'll be freed from Microsoft's slavery and the new tux era shall begin when Microsoft's virus infested OS shall be vanquished by good martians. Then there can be only one OS and you know it. :happy:Well what a good story with some humour! But What it comes to that hardware survey I expect that Linux's share will continue to rise especially in the next year.I really hope it.We live exciting times!:smile:

Vulkan 1.1 conformance achieved for the Raspberry Pi 4
31 Oct 2021 at 3:35 pm UTC

Good work so far.I own Raspberry Pi 4 with 8 mb RAM but I haven't tested it yet properly.There is Ubuntu 21.04 in it atm. Still it lacks proper software support in my opinion.For example some programs in ubuntu don't work yet so there is room for improvement.But does anyone here have any experience of using Rasp4 for playing?I'd like to know...:smile:

Feral no longer porting A Total War Saga: TROY to Linux, citing less demand since Proton
27 Jul 2021 at 6:19 pm UTC

This is a sad news really.R.I.P Feral future linux ports. Yes this was coming. I saw double rainbows in the sky and winter suddenly changed into summer in 2 seconds. From those signs I knew that there would be no TROY port.:sad:. Still Proton kills the need of Linux game ports. Future seems bad but on the other hand making the linux ports wouldn't be simply enough to increase player percentage when it comes to OS statistics in which Windows rules. Probably Steam Deck( which uses Proton) is the the best option to change the situation.Hopefully even slightly.

A new Valve game for the Steam Deck? It's not out of the realm of possibility
22 Jul 2021 at 11:52 am UTC

Well I think Valve should release the new version of SpurguX, a legendery game for Steamdeck.:smile: In that game you're an antihero who beats old grannies to get some money for beers from liquor store. Of course if you beat a single granny all the cops will come after you. There are three ways to die: if the energies run out or you die of hangover or overdose of alcohol. You must be drunk all the time because otherwise the game will end. Of course there are other characters like for example, skinhead who beats you with ape's rage or bouncer who takes all your well earned money sometimes on each level's exit.The game is won if you reach the end where qognac bottle awaits you. And this game is it real? Of course it is!:happy: What a game with humour.:smile: Well seriously speaking maybe some other game would be better ofc like Half-life 3 for Steamdeck. It should attract gamers attention more.:smile:

Valve has formally announced the Steam Deck, a portable handheld console with SteamOS
15 Jul 2021 at 6:02 pm UTC Likes: 1

Holy grail? Hopefully yes. But still it needs some polishing when it comes to game support. If Proton works well enough with this Steam deck and I can play most of my pc games(windows,Linux) with it then I'll be seriously interested.And the price isn't that bad. I must travel into the future with my time machine to see how things shape up. I can also buy this hand held console from there and give it a test drive ofc.And then I will review it tomorrow here.Nice little joke.:smile:But seriously speaking this device has the potential. It's up to Valve's marketing strategy how things work out. I hope this effort will be successful:smile:

Valheim roadmap update, Hearth & Home due 'Q3 2021' and we know some of what's coming
10 Jun 2021 at 7:58 pm UTC

Great.This game has the same effect when you drink water from fountain of eternal youth. It's really magic when you shake off 30 years straightaway and you're young again!:happy: Where is this fabled fountain?Ha ha I'm not telling you!:smile: Anyway I've played game for some time and it's good. Also I'm excited about upcoming updates.Hopefully the devs behind the game can handle the outside pressure and make game even better:smile:

Grab a coffee and come read the latest Sunday Section - May 30

Tesla?I have some suspicions. Does Elon Musk fund gol.com with a couple million of dollars? Or is this fake news?
Only master(Liam) knows the truth. Well what I'm talking about? This was a nightmare joke of course!:happy: Jokes aside. It will be very interesting what Tesla will come up with. Hopefully we see it benefitting linux gaming greatly. Maybe the future Tesla will have a gaming centre too!Hardly but one can only dream of it....:smile:

Nice but my next GPU choice still is AMD. At least that is my future plan - for now....:smile:
