Canonical drop the Unity desktop environment for Ubuntu favour of going back to GNOME
7 Apr 2017 at 8:34 am UTC Likes: 2

Same for me - I switched to Debian stable 2 years ago and it is soooo stable that I would not go back to an Ubuntu LTS. It is really a step up in term of stability.

For more recent software I often use backports but that's all. Recently, after the Stretch freeze, I upgraded all my machines to Stretch and it is also ways more stable than any Ubuntu LTS. Although I ran into problems in the very first days I could raise bugs and now all have been fixed, which means I could be somewhat useful to the community - this is the magic of FOSS ! ;-)

And BTW Debian Stretch really rocks and it looks close to release, probably in June or beginning of July if the number of critical bugs continues going down.

Well, as Star Citizen is most likely the next Duke Nukem Forever I cannot be happy with this...

NVIDIA might have more open drivers in future on Linux
17 Mar 2017 at 8:12 am UTC

I'm sorry that NVidia does not open source their driver, given that for gaming they are the far best ones.

I've read a while ago that 95% of the driver code was shared between Linux and Windows which would explain why they do not open source them. However it is a small step in the right direction.

Serious Sam Fusion 2017 update for The First Encounter due soon as 'the build is ready'

I will grab this one as well.

Note : I bought the walking dead a while ago and it appeared in my Steam library on Linux. So it looks close to release (however CoH2 appeared on my library... 8 months before release :'( )

Editorial: On paying for Linux games when you already have a Windows version
15 Mar 2017 at 11:45 am UTC Likes: 1

I think the best approach would be to require users to pay a small extra so that the porter gets paid. Everyone would be happy with this : the original game developer who gets its money, the porter who gets its money even though you owned the game for decades, and yourself to support the dev.

Now having to pay again a full game is something that tears me, even though I paid for Arma (I got the original one through a Humble Bundle)

A look at how much RAM you might need as a Linux gamer
6 Mar 2017 at 8:35 am UTC

I have 32 GB and managed to consume it only once, with Cities, a Firefox with several tabs, and several VMs started. The box started to become damn slow, and closing Cities fixed the issue.

BTW on that box I use KDE as my DE.
