A reason for poor performance on AMD plus Mesa has been found and a patch is in progress
18 Aug 2016 at 9:55 pm UTC Likes: 7

All that I see going on in here is everyone getting their control boners on - don't you tell me I can't use X over Y.

Don't talk about X or Y - talk about Z.

My fellow Linux Peeps, we are a community who most of us likely has control issues, when Linus couldn't control the quality of the nVidia driver or force them into using a FOSS driver he gave them the finger.

I'm super super SUPER SUPER SUPER SUPER excited about the performance improvements of this patch, I sincerely believe that in about a year the tables between NVidia and AMD will be more or less equal 50/50 40/60 with the major difference being AMD promoting a open driver and having less bugs.

I'm very excited preparing to switch to Red Camp, I'll be TTY switching like it's 1999, and kiss goodbye to GPU buffer corruption from NVidia.

Go TEAM MESA YOU KICK FSCKING ASS!!!! Stay legit, your performance work is critical to the success of red camp and FOSS.

I think companies underestimate their work-load [post-launch] and find themselves in a world of trouble when there are so many unexpected things to get done.

Minimalistic puzzler 'Hexoscope' not coming to Linux due to Adobe Air

The game looks meh so I guess I don't really care.

I'm impressed they're using Adobe Air in 2016

Livestreaming on Linux? Here's an essential tip you need on getting follower alerts to show up
12 Aug 2016 at 9:36 pm UTC

I skimmed the video and couldn't figure out what it is still.

Q: Would this say popup a notification in Gnome when GOL Steaming goes live or sit in my Systray? or

B: Is it just to show a funding goal on the streamers or my screen?

Bleed 2, a very action-packed platformer is coming to Linux

The mechanics looks like they might have that old school platform feel to them where you could time things precisely in action packed situations.

Looks great

Seeing Rocket League on page one is still a kick in the balls...

Slime Rancher updated, hits 300K sales and I asked the developer about their Linux support

Interesting... I recall almost buying it on the Steam Sale but the discount wasn't enough to get me to pull the trigger.

While I'm sure $20 is fair to the developers, I'm also a bit more choosie when it comes to indie games at that price point.

I wouldn't be surprised if Linux Gamers simply have purchased 100's of games and can't justify buying yet until either its on a good sale or they play through their catalog more.

Three retro Disney games are now on GOG with Linux support

DMPTL;

In the end, Linux is strengthened as a platform, 3 more games that were beloved - 3 more reasons why Steam Machines & Linux will have a draw.

Only thing for me is that I wish it was on steam, I would gladly accept the DRM & the cost $$$ in exchange for not having to maintain my game library.

The Signal From Tölva is the next game from Sir, You Are Being Hunted developers and Linux is likely
