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

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

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.

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

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!

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.

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?

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.

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.

Quoting: GuestFree app to discourage native games now has better support for app by evil megacorp that hates native games...

:crying:

Alternative POV: A free app that allows people to switch to a new operating system without completely losing their previous investment.

They also note "Origin, Uplay, GOG Galaxy and many more" have much better support in this release, which I imagine will be useful for plenty of people.

YES! Origin is usually a PITA to install.

I fought with Origin last week, and finally gave up. I'll have to update, and try again!

It just might be the game of the year for me. I had heard nothing about it before release, so it was a total surprise to me. It's a bit pricey too, but absolutely worth it in my opinion.

Performance wise, I've had the same experience as you: Great to good, and zero crashes.
