Quoting: TheRiddickYou assume they should know about PPA usage at the start, when its not mentioned anywhere upon installing most Ubuntu distro's. PPA could mean anything.

I don't assume anything. New Windows users don't know anything about downloading and installing drivers either.

Quoting: TheRiddickMost people don't know to do that, which is why Linux gets such a bad rep, they come, try it out and notice its terrible and leave even thought the distro is rolling OLD broken mesa among other things in the repository. At least for AMD users, if NVIDIA users can get past the black screen and full composition issue then their fine.

You mean adding a ppa is harder than trawling ihv sites for updated drivers? ;)

The users you are talking about will have difficulty managing any OS.

Quoting: tuubiMad Max gave me ~90 entertaining hours of gameplay. Easily worth the price. Go grab it already.

how many times did you played trough it? i've got 50 hours and that's 2 and a half of playtrough of mine.

Once, but I'm one of those weird people who just can't help but thoroughly explore every nook and cranny. Also beat every racing challenge and whatnot.

Quoting: EikeStopped to play it after 10 hours max. Ubisoft formula crap. Don't buy it. :)

Still only 1€/h, not bad. ;)

But seriously, if you dislike the Ubisoft/WB style third person open world action + exploration genre, or want all your gaming experiences be deep and involving, you might want to skip it. The rest of you will not be disappointed.

Quoting: liamdawe"Faeria, the rather good free to play turn-based card battler has a final release and now official Linux support"

Carefully nuanced with "rather" to not overdo it, so british. And let's cram the entire article into the headline - that's classic Liam. Never change, dude. <3

We're so used to blatant, hype-filled adverts masquerading as impartial reviews (or else pure hate-pieces for the giggles) that an informative, honest article is a rarity. And a headline that isn't clickbaity? What heresy is this?

Gotta love/hate the Intertubes.

Sounds super stressful to me. I don't see how you get anything done, but we're all different and that's fine. :)

Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoThe Linux version of The Talos Principle is not a port of a Windows game; is an in-house developed Linux game and that should be the standard of Linux games...

Croteam is a cool developer, but this is sadly not true. They've admitted that the graphics engine is designed around D3D, and other backends suffer as a result. They're working on a redesign and their new VR releases are likely to benefit from this work, but Talos is very much a Windows game they ported (in-house) to Linux.

Quoting: wolfyrionThese applications are open by default when the computer starts

[Massive list of apps]

Just curious, is there any reason at all not to close most of these apps when you're not actually actively using them? You can easily install a single indicator to watch your mail boxes at least? And surely you don't listen to music while you watch netflix and play games? Your decision of course, I just don't understand why anyone would do this.

Quoting: RussianNeuroMancerHL2 was and still Steam-only ....

Unfortunately. Else I'd for sure immediately buy it....

I don't know if this makes a difference, but HL2, the episodes and at least the first portal are actually DRM-free [External Link]. You need a steam account to download them, but they'll happily run without Steam.
