I've converted 7 people so far. Elementary was the first stop, and the second stop was Arch - it helps to make a Install Guide listing software, utilities etc and things to do with a vanilla install.

Rolling release is so nice... I love it so much.

These benefits seem like they'll hit Archlinux users first.

I know our kernels are fresh out of the oven and installing "mesa-git"/radeonsi is a yaourt away.

This is great news :)

I know Ubuntu is a "supported platform", but it honestly sounds like it has more trouble than Arch.

Occasionally I have to reset the libraries in steam when I switch between the blob and MESA to relink the libraries, but that's about it.

I'm amazed at how much trouble Ubuntu has really.

I tried installing SteamOS the other day in VFIO Kernel however and wasn't able to get the blob to run yet, shame because compartmentalizing my GPU for SteamOS and using Intel HD open drivers for professional desktop needs is a attractive idea.

So much time wasted I'm so jumping to RX 480 as soon as they come back in stock. This closed driver nonsense is a pain.

Black Mesa was a really enjoyable Linux Drama for the month.

It had it all - a Anti-Linux Microsoft Troll. Drama. And a Developer shooting down said Troll.

It was fab, and sweetly delicious. Plus seeing a top 10 Steam Summer Sale game get confirmed is pretty damn hawt. I'm glad the developer locked the thread to freeze the state of things.

In a few months we can check in and ask them how it's cooking.

The graphics made me cautious to the price at first and after beating it I think it could easily sell for $20-30 if players knew ahead the contents of how awesome it is.

Quoting: Mountain Man

Quoting: ElectricPrismSomehow I just take this as Microsoft porting to covertly try to collect data about Steam Console users.

It's not the first Microsoft game to come to Linux. Dust: An Elysian Tail is also a Microsoft title. It was a very strange feeling to boot up a native Linux game and see the Microsoft logo.

Let the irony flow, I would laugh when Halo Online starts to run on wine.

Performance Reporting? Does that mean profiling has been improved?

If so, that will be tremendous for debugging and optimizing unity games on Linux if so.

Looks like EDGE. I'm sold.
