Quoting: EikeExperimental is not as evil as it sounds and has got 396.54 at the moment:
https://packages.debian.org/experimental/nvidia-driver [External Link]
I did install from experimental several times and didn't run into problems.
Of course: no guarantee.

I used to run unstable/experimental in Potato/Woody times, then got older and switched to testing. Now I don't have enough time to play, not to mention tinkering, so it's stable, with backports when I want some excitement :)

And as sometimes happens... I had graphical glitches in Rumu yesterday, tried the Nvidia drivers from experimental and ended up with a whole black screen. Well, rollback was successful. I should always store the packages updated in a text file, this made it easier. (Rumu is better started with LANG=C at the moment, and it might be fragile after taking screenshots.)

Quoting: GuestUse the nvidia driver from the web site. The run file is simple to use. Debian has many nvidia packages and they are old, buggy and difficult to remove. With the run file there just one command.

There's three packages to speak of at the moment, 384.130 [External Link], 390.87 [External Link] and 396.54 [External Link]. Any of these failed for you? What did you find hard about purging them? What's hard about about apt-get install nvidia-driver? I always recommend taking the distribution packages, because these guys and girls have the same input data as you have from e.g. Nvidia - and more knowledge about their distribution than you and me.

Quoting: liamdaweWhat I can probably do is include a few of the projects in the tagline to help. The title too possible although titles still need to remain short.

Maybe you could (ab)use the picture.

Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoThis should be the standard behaviour in the software development world... Progress don't take weekends or vacations...

Please tell me that you didn't think long about this. AND that you're working seven days a week for your employer.

Quoting: 14The downside to kid games is Steam. It's annoying for my kids and myself when Steam decides to forget your password and then they can't log in until I am available. If I can get over that, I might pick this game up someday. For now, my kids are occupied enough with the couple games they have. I don't need to introduce them to the idea of video game backlogs at this stage. :wink: I wish my game collection didn't cause me decision paralysis.

You can create them their own account(s?) and use family sharing or buy the game for their account.

Same here! :-D
Still got my hamm CDs (bought in a Linux friendly bookstore) at the shelf. :-)

Quoting: skinnyrafI hope they'll update drivers in SteamOS just as fast.
Meanwhile, Debian is stuck with 390.

Quoting: adwamslayerI've finally been able to compose myself and play Anmesia: The Dark Descent. I think I got it on sale or in a humble bundle a fair while ago. Now i'm into it, i'm quite enjoying it due to the atmosphere and story. Just wish I played it sooner!

Headphones and in the dark, everything else will be less "fun" than possible! :)

PS: Envying you.

Quoting: devnullYa know, it didn't even occur to me to check gitlab *sigh*. Thank you.

Me neither at first. The suspicious thing I found was here on the lower right:
https://github.com/supremesonicbrazil/ [External Link]
"IF_MS_BUYS_GITHUB_IMMA_OUT"

It's a bit erasing ones traces having a move and the renaming so close together...

Quoting: CorbenA while ago I read about a tool to backup your Steam savegames: https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2018/02/steam-linux-backup-tool-slsk [External Link]
Did anyone try that? When trying betas it might a good idea to backup the savegames with a tool like this.
Haven't tried it myself yet though.

DMCA'd? Appears gone from github now. Anyone have a mirror?

Moved and renamed, it seems:
