I added it to my wishlist... Is it bad that I have almost as many games on my wishlist as in my inventory??? :D

Quoting: inlinuxdudeAnyone know if the Link has been hacked to run standard Linux or Android? I could use another cheap Kodi box...
Well, I just had to go and Google it... It looks like Kodi is recently running natively with a few bugs/quirks. http://steamcommunity.com/app/353380/discussions/1/451850849186712370/?ctp=13 [External Link]
Why go through all that trouble when you can get a Raspberry Pi for dirt cheap?
Commodity hardware is frequently cheaper at a price point for comparable hardware (especially on sale). However, after finally finding the specs on the Link, it didn't look that impressive, so for the trouble, not worth it for me.

Question: Is there any interest in me doing a separate site to cover general Linux news?
Please stick to doing one thing and doing it well. Don't dilute your time/product...

NVIDIA have announced the TITAN Xp and it's a monster

Quoting: scaineI don't get who/what these cards are aimed at? This behemoth will likely retail for well over a grand, given that the plain 1080s are still around the £500-600 mark and the TI edition is £800-900. I mean, there's top-end gaming, and then there's just flushing money out the window!
IBM has worked with NVidia to incorporate their GPU's [External Link] into high performance computing servers. This could well fit into some supercomputer type applications (and could also explain the initial limit of 2 per customer?)..

Mad Max meets Vulkan in a new fully public beta for Linux, benchmarks and OpenGL vs Vulkan comparisons

This is awesome! Mr. Duck, any idea when Feral might get this on SteamOS? I bought this to play on the couch on my homemade steam machine. I put a couple hours into it and performance wasn't horrible, but I'd love to give it another go with this boost!

Day of Infamy, the WWII FPS has been fully released and is officially available for Linux

I saw this on Steam last night and was checking it out. It has great reviews, and I used to love that type of game (played Wolf:ET on Linux for thousands of hours).. My only reservation is my twitch reflexes aren't what they used to be when I was younger, so I'm kind of hesitant to drop $20 for a FPS game where I'll likely be outclassed and quit playing soon. So, maybe I'll wait for a sale to pick it up.
