Argonaut Games announced a return with a remaster of Croc Legend of the Gobbos

Quoting: PenglingVery nice to see this, as this is one of my favourite games of all time, and it doesn't look like they've meddled with things unnecessarily, going by the trailer. :smile:

And this is very interesting indeed: Jez San went to great efforts to retain the Argonaut IPs after the company went bust 20 years ago, and shifted them around various companies he owned - I had thought that they'd ended up owned by Microsoft, since, if memory serves, he sold one of his companies to them. Evidently not!
But the real question is..... Does Croc blink???.......

w00t!....

Dolphin is an awesome emulator and having the flatpak being official while not changing much of the experience for us..... It will be great for peoples peace of mind...... And soon there wont be any excuses for not trying out this absolutely fantastic emulator when the flatpak becomes official.......

NVIDIA driver with Linux kernel 6.10 causing kernel oops

Quoting: basedHmm, have you tried just restarting your PC and trying again? Seems like there's no GPU updates there (org.freedesktop.Platform.GL32.nvidia-xx, etc) but I can't figure out what else would be your issue.
I need to restart in order for GPU to get detected by flatpaks again after update

Well its fixed now........ I had already installed the org.freedesktop.Platform.GL32.nvidia-xx but there was a problem with it and a new one JUST popped up in the mint update manager and now the flatpaks are working......

Thanks for your you knowledge mate :)

Quoting: StoneColdSpiderIm having problems with the 535.183.01-0ubuntu0.24.04.1 driver that was in the mint update manager today...... Steam seems to play games fine but PCSX2 and Dolphin run slow and choppy with sound glitches....... So I guess Nvidia is just being sh*t as per usual.......
I'm on arch (btw), but are said emus installed as flatpaks? if so, you gotta sudo flatpak update as well and restart otherwise they won't detect ur GPU, at least that's the case with me
Yes they are installed as flatpaks...... While steam is native........
so is the command
 
sudo flatpak update


If so I get this

Microsoft breaks some Linux dual-boots in a recent Windows update
21 Aug 2024 at 12:57 pm UTC Likes: 7

Microsoft haven't yet said anything about it that I can find, and their update page notes "Microsoft is not currently aware of any issues with this update", so clearly that needs an update.
Well..... Its not an "issue" if its planned is it???......
