There's now a Debian User Repository in the style of the Arch User Repository

Quoting: slaapliedje
Quoting: sigmichMain reason I don't use Debian a while are outdated Nvidia drivers because I need stable branch for some specific software. Could DUR be used also for installing graphic drivers?
Backports has the latest stable drivers.
That's what I wanted to recommend as well. If you need to, you can even use the Nvidia driver from experimental (fear though not!). The driver seems to be so separated from the rest, this never gave me headaches either. But backports should be optimal.

Quoting: denyasisSince I'm not buying any games this year, I decided to finish the games I own. I have a bad habit of not finishing games.

So I'm still playing Wasteland 2. Still enjoying it. I don't get a ton of play time, so I think I'll finish it by August.
I avoid starting all those big RPGs at the moment due to lack of time. Is it still fun? I think I would forget all the rules, tactics, story, ...

Backlog--

Finally played through Rise of the Tomb Raider. It's fun! (I'm leaving out all collecting stuff though.)

Metro Exodus for Linux to run better on AMD GPUs soon with a Mesa fix now merged
27 Jun 2021 at 7:44 am UTC

Quoting: AnorelsanOn the steam forums someone says that maybe is for an unsuported cpu. It seems strange to me, I have a Ryzen 1800X, a little old but that old? I will dig a little more. I want to play it, enjoyed the first and second, but possibly will be in the future when I change my pc.
I answered over there (as Zyro). I think playing around with kernel (downgrade?) or mesa version (upgrade?) should be able to solve it.

Metro Exodus for Linux to run better on AMD GPUs soon with a Mesa fix now merged

Quoting: AnorelsanHello I just bought this game and have an instant crash on startup, not even showing anything. I know that my system is old (ryzen 1800x, r290, 32GB RAM), but do you know if it runs on mesa 20 or i must update to mesa 21 to run it? It works under wayland?

ed: digging into steam forums seems that it can run under mesa 20 (with the memory leak) and wayland, but no luck. Maybe will be my first refund. :(
Did you try from terminal? I was shown a library missing, some libibus or something.

Great games! I was sad when I was through... You do have to like reading, though. :)

Magical comedy point & click adventure Plot of the Druid is up on Kickstarter

Quoting: crabelThe full game Backbone is mostly the prologue. The story afterwards is a) short and b) linear. And incomplete.
Too bad, it looked promising!

On a side note, you now can finally remove a game from the wish list directly from the shop page (drop down at the right of wish list button)...

NVIDIA to launch DLSS support for Proton on Linux tomorrow (June 22)
23 Jun 2021 at 9:01 am UTC

Quoting: CatKillerThe PPUs definitely existed. I doubt that many got sold, because the business case for them was rubbish, but you could get pre-built gaming machines with them in. The technology was also in a bunch of console games before Nvidia bought Ageia.
I googled and found some... on Geocities. (So that's the age we're talking about. :D )

Steam Next Fest is live again with new demos, livestreams and more

Quoting: whizseAdventure gamers! Don't miss Season of the Warlock [External Link]. Proton demo only, but the full game should (hopefully) be native.
I've seen a test version of the demo, and it's working well on Linux, so be optimistic!

Learn how locks really work in Sophie's Safecracking Simulator now on Steam

Quoting: CatKillerHmm. My little one loves machines and loves puzzles. Showing a five year old how to pick locks couldn't possibly have negative future consequences, right?
What could possibly go wrong?!? :heart:
