NVIDIA has confirmed a driver bug resulting in a loss of performance on Linux
30 Nov 2017 at 8:13 pm UTC

Quoting: EhvisThey're not saying they'll fix it in next release. They stated it would contain a workaround because they have not yet identified the cause.
I'm reading this as they will undo the change that showed the problematic behaviour and will fix the bug and redo the change then later.

Point & Click adventure game Black Mirror now available on Linux

Quoting: GuestI bought it at release but got a refund because the mouse pointer was sluggish (and the framerate in general too). Has it been fixed?
I had this with some adventure games due to my gaming mouse. Found a fix somewhere in the Steam forums. Maybe it's the same for you and this game?

It seems quite some Steam reviews are negative due to the controls. :-(
I hope they improve them, I was looking forward to playing this!

The scenario is appealing to me, but sorry to say, it looks like This War of Mine in ugly...

Quoting: razing32Weren't a large portion of the original migrants to the US from Germany ?
I think that might have something to do with it , no ?
I think so. I even heard that the decision between English and German as the country's language was a close one. (Not sure about that.)

Quoting: EikeGesundheit! (*)

(*) My dictionary says this would be used at least in the US - is it?
Yep, US-only as far as I know. In Britain, it's more common to say 'bless you' after someone sneezes. But not as a note of sympathy for someone who has a cold! If you did that, you would just sound very old fashioned and religious! :D
*lol* You're right. In an old habbit I'm saying "Gesundheit!" (translates to "(I wish you) health!" ) to people who are ill, forgetting that it's usually only used (here in Germany as well) when someone's sneezing. :)

One more question: I guess saying "Bless you!" when someone's sneezing is not strongly connected to religion nowadays?

Quoting: liamdawePlayed it on stream tonight, as it replaced ATOM RPG, which I wasn't feeling up for reading all the dialogue (I have a cold, ergh).
Gesundheit! (*)

The Linux-powered Ataribox Joystick has been revealed, looks delightfully retro and rather stylish

Quoting: XpanderAs good as this box sounds, it doesn't really help linux gaming in any way. Its a retro gaming box, which we have plenty with the use of RPI or similar. Yeah its out of box experience, but it wont run anything more demanding. While small indie/retro games can be super addictive and fun, they unfortunately wont grow the linux marketshare much at all. We need a "Console" that has those top 40-50 Most played games in Steam, or just linux ports from those games which don't run like crap compared to other operating systems.
I agree. Running modern Linux games will be even more niche than Linux gaming in general. A nice toy for the Linux geeks.

Is it only by chance that every picture hides the upper right corner?

They don't need Ryzen power. They need to build it cheap.
