Quoting: throghWow, hey could getting some carrot for what exactly? Making some kind of commercials for the platform while they trash with Ubuntu 14.04 an even supported system? No thanks! Taking some other time to play "monkey business" and ask for some bananas. :sick:

Your sarcastic rambling is a bit hard to decipher, but are you seriously suggesting it's not enough for them to support two of the most recent LTS releases, when most barely support one?

Quoting: DesperalawRoses are red
Violets are blue
I love DRM free games
And so do you

Revived an old Internet meme haha.

This "meme" predates the invention of the term, and the Internet, by decades if not centuries. :)

Quoting: GuestRecently on Rise of the Tomb Raider I actually had a hardlock up from it and couldn't even use CTRL-Alt-F4 and had to hard reboot :-\ only game thats done that every other one has been a matter of alt-tab and using system monitor to kill the process

This is a game specific bug I think. If you happen to be on Nvidia and aren't using the latest beta driver, you'll have all kinds of weird problems. I played quite happily with 390.48 for a good while, but finally had to cave and install 396.18 again just to play this one game without (rare) crashes and outrageous memory leaks leading to swapping and stuttering. Too bad the beta driver is worse for almost anything else, even if I force the old shader compiler.

I've had to reboot once with 396.18, but at least the power button accepted short press for safe shutdown. I do hope nvidia releases a new stable soon so I can go back to the stable branch.

Yeah, it's not perfect. I left the game paused for the duration of a long phone call today and when I came back, X was totally unresponsive.

I already own Hacknet. Fun little hacking adventure/puzzler, featuring some decent writing and frantic typing. The Labyrinths DLC adds an extra story arc with a new mechanic, and it's worth playing as well.

I do enjoy DRM free games as much as the next penguin, but I won't be taking part in the giveaway. Good luck everyone. ^_^

Quoting: Doc AngeloEdit: As English is not my native tongue: What does "may not" mean? Shouldn't it be "must not" for a definitive "don't ever do this"?

It means "you are not allowed to" in this context.

As you're talking about Ubuntu and kernels, 4.15.16 is available and officially supported for Ubuntu 16.04 as part of their hardware enablement stack. But I guess going straight to 18.04 would be the more useful course of action now that the release is so close at hand. Personally I'm going to wait for the next Mint Xfce release (based on Ubuntu 18.04), maybe in a month's time.

Quoting: legluondunetIs it possible to add several gamepads model: I'm using two gamepad, x360 and Steam, I can only specify one.

The usual rule has been to include the one you use most. This isn't about who owns the most hardware after all.

Quoting: Guestwhat was the story about again?

I don't remember much, but must have been something about "DRM". Valve acquiring Digital Rights to Manage Campo Santo?
