Quoting: Armand Raynal*FLOSS plz, not open source.
really? semantics? you realize the "os" in floss is for open source?
No I said that without knowing what floss mean ...

The semantical difference is important. FLOSS is a neutral term between the OSS and the Free Software philosophy.

Unless the autor wants to take side for OSS, he must say "FLOSS" to stay neutral.

I prefer Free software, but I don't expect people to say "Free software", though I expect neutral sources to talk about FLOSS rather than OSS, or FOSS.

What one game would blow your mind if it came to Linux & SteamOS?

New vegas & Oblivion for me. With all the tools to create or at least add mod to them.

Games to play on Linux this Halloween, my top choices
23 Oct 2016 at 7:31 pm UTC

Made my sister play outlast, she couldn't play once using the camera to see in the dark became mandatory(first hour of the game).

Played it with a friend then, after a few hours you start getting how poorly the artificial intelligence is designed and it doesn't scares you much then.

Good game though.

Quoting: MohandevirI really do like Nvidia (I have a GTX960 4gb) but objectively, their products are more in the higher end of the spectrum. AMD is always cheaper and a little under Nvidia, when it comes to performances.
Nvidia is alone on the highest segments mostly because majority of consumers don't make thoughtful purchases.

On HD4000 and HD5000 AMD was ahead of nvidia(GTX460 being an exception), though that didn't made their market share skyrocket as it should have.

HD6000 et 7000 was on pair, but AMD had better prices for the same performance most of the time.

Nvidia is left alone on highest end products only since GTX 1070 & 1080.

Not surprising as card like GTX 960(not talking about GNU/Linux perf obviously), wich was awefully priced, still manage to sell well, while r9 285/380(x) had pretty unbeatable price/perf ratio and didn't had such success.

Or 780 & 780ti vs 290 & 290X. Nvidia sold a lot of those 780ti while 290(x)+third party cooler or customs 290(x) once they were out was the way to go. 100$-150$ more for +5% performance on launch day ? The - 10-15% less performance in 2015-2016 titles must taste bitter for those who wanted a card to keep for 2-4 or more years.

HITMAN looks like it's coming to SteamOS & Linux

Quoting: apocalyptechUggggh at the always-online requirement. That'll probably be enough to keep me away. My connection's quite stable as well, but that's one thing that bothers the hell out of me.

I wonder if I've been unknowingly playing other games which have requirements like that; I should set Steam to offline and work up some iptables to block traffic and see how well the games I play do...
Warez also exist for games on GNU/Linux ;)
They are just a bit harder to find ...

Sunday chat: What have you been playing, and what do you think?

I've been playin chivalry MW in black knight mod.
I think BK should be the vanilla game. Also it's one of the last high skilled game out there.

Looking forward to play Mirage from the same studio aka torn banner. And play it on GNU/Linux of course !
