Hmmmmm, I'm seriously considering buying my first Humble Monthly for this game. The game looks great, and $12 is the right price for it, and then there are the other games too.
The Linux GOTY award is now over, here are the results!

I'm surprised that Shadow Tactics didn't get more love. I guess there just wasn't enough hype about the game, and thus, not enough people playing it. It's such a fantastic game!

For me, the wiki is Arch's killer feature, with the AUR a close second.

Quoting: AroThe AUR is like the killer "feature" the arch universe has.

Welcome to the bleeding edge!!
I switched from Ubuntu to Arch about three years ago, and I've never even thought about switching to anything else. I don't think I could ever switch from a rolling release at this point - it just doesn't make sense. With Ubuntu, I had a dist-upgrade bork things up badly going from 10.04 to 10.10, and I never trusted dist-upgrade again. That meant I had to reinstall every six months to stay current with Ubuntu. I haven't reinstalled Arch since 2013.

Good to know! I haven't had a chance to try anything yet. I've updated to it, but that's it.
Too busy playing Shadow Tactics!

Quoting: ShmerlYes, GOG installers behave much better with this Wine release.

The 'Humble Bundle's Best of 2016' has some great Linux games for cheap

No purchase for me, but only because I already have all of the Linux games except for Rust. I'm kind of interested in Rust, but I'm not willing to beat the average for it.
Victor Vran is really awesome. Definitely worth the $1 alone.

I'm guessing I'm about half way through now, and still loving this game. If I have one complaint about the game, it's that the load/save times are pretty long. I really like the timer showing my how long it's been since I last saved, but I'm sometimes reluctant to save, just because it's bit long and distracting. Other times though, after a particularly technical spot, I like hitting that save button. It's a bit of a breather, and the saving screen is a reminder of the accomplishment.
Seriously though, that's the only complaint I can come up with, and it's pretty minor. Kudos to Mimimi on the design and QC.
If you haven't tried the demo, go do it.

The release of Mesa 17 has seen a bit of a delay, for all the right reasons

Unless your laptop is an Optimus setup and you're using Bumblebee. Then you'll be using Mesa for anything you run on the Intel graphics, and the nVidia driver for anything you run on the nVidia graphics.

Quoting: GuestThanks for the info.
I have an NVIDIA GTX870 in my laptop.
And was all excited about Vulcan.
But I guess I will have no benefit from it then?

I've got an i7-4700 in my laptop, and I'm regularly surprised how well the HD4600 graphics can perform, even at 1080p. I do have a GTX765M in there as well for the more taxing games, but I often choose to play on the Intel graphics, just because my laptop stays cooler that way.
