Quoting: LeopardYou can get latest Mesa updates with this ppa on Mint/Ubuntu. I'm on Mesa 17.0.3 right now and i'm using stable ones.

This is the bleeding edge one.

I might give those a try, a few months ago the OIBAF PPA didn't work, nothing appeared in the Driver manager :/ only the Pro would actually install.. however the pro doesnt work with Mint Cinnamon ( or at least it didn't a few months ago ) so i had to migrate the desktop to MATE.

There's also this newish PPA maintained by a Canonical employee:

Quoting: ArdjeI spent 40 euro on ark, and it was a 40 euro well spend. I have glitches and bugs, but if you look at the size of the game of course it will have problems.

It's big and complicated so of course there'll be bugs and glitches? Developers just love customers like you. :)

Quoting: mike44I only had problems with ppa but not with direct downloads from nvidia. after you've installed the driver that comes with ubuntu, update is easy as about:
sudo lightdm service stop
cd to the driver
./NVidia*
update driver click yes
sudo reboot

The PPA method is still safer and simpler. Only consider using Nvidia's installer if you actually have problems with the PPA packages.

Quoting: KelsPeople keep raving about how good Streamlink Twitch GUI [External Link] is, but unfortunately they don't provide a .deb or .rpm package at all, and there seems to be little interest on the part of the dev to provide them. I tried installing via npm as the site suggests and it totally didn't work, so I gave it up as a bad experience.

Just tried it this morning. Seems slick. There's no need for npm or anything, just make sure you've got streamlink (>=0.4.0), x11-utils and xdg-utils (or the equivalent packages) and then download the latest release [External Link]. Now you can just run start.sh from wherever you extracted the package or create a nice desktop launcher with the included script.

Quoting: ShmerlWell, I actually just saw this: Twitch to start selling video games this week [External Link]. So I thought this is a new open source client for their store.

Oh wow. I had no idea that was happening. I guess this isn't a big surprise, Twitch being owned by Amazon and all.

Quoting: ShmerlIs Twitch now a game store? And do they sell Linux games? What about DRM there?

Nope. :)

You can browse streams by game though.

The familiar set of cars, custom tracks, a Finnish developer... Okay this is basically Slicks & Slide online, down to the last detail. And that's awesome! I spent so much time playing Slicks & Slide with my friends back in high school. Can't believe that was twenty plus years ago. :dizzy:

I hope this is half as fun as good old Slicks, and if it is, that GOL dedicated server would be awesome!

Just in case you're serious, all of the "pro-windows" commenters in this thread are joking.

Quoting: GuestIt's not because...

Quoting: Luke_Nukem"Game developers expend huge amounts of time and energy to bring us games!"

...that i'm supposed to understand:

Quoting: Guest"why one should buy one of that games, when he can play tons of similar abandonware."

Really, should i?

You never buy games that are similar in style to ones you've played and liked before?
