Magicka 2 Officially Released For SteamOS & Linux
10 Nov 2015 at 1:06 pm UTC

Usually Valve update it's offerings, during Steam sales, at 1PM, where Valve is. I suspect it will be the same, today. They used the same pattern when SteamOS, the Steam Machines and the Steam Controller were first announced, 2 years ago.

It's even worse when you consider the fact that the option "show only content for my system" is checked by default... What is this feature then???

My First Hours With A Steam Controller
19 Oct 2015 at 3:11 am UTC

My main gaming rig is built on SteamOS and with the controller the experience is really great. I've played The Witcher 2, Trine, Trine 2 and Portal 2 and I love this thing and the customization possibilities. Didn't get any bugs and the controler's firmware update was automaticaly handled by SteamOS (don't know if it's the same for other OSs).

The M+KB mode feels really natural to me.

I'll buy a second one for Christmas. :)

Quoting: MohandevirThe Witcher 3, best guest on november 1st? Is it just a wishfull thinking or is it based on something more solid? Ok, wishfull thinking might not be the right expression but I'm wondering what is behind this "guess"?

It makes me really glad to think of such a close release even if it's a month or two too early...
That was someone's wishful thinking, I have edited it into 2016.
Thanks for clarifying... Still... Snif! :)

The Ubuntu Guys Have Already Worked Out A More Official PPA For Nvidia Driver Updates

Great news! Going to try it in 5 mins!
Never been totally comfortable with Edgers, mainly due to the fact that it installs and replaces default librairies once it is added.

Thanks, quite a nice link that gives an insider's look on the subject.

In this exemple, you can really see the load balancing between cpu cores and it's great but there's nothing about switchable gpus. They can balance the load in this aspect too, so I read, on pcgaming. They are able to give some tasks to the Intel onboard gpu while the NVidia or AMD graphic card keep its ressources to deal with the most serious tasks.

Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor Released For Linux, We Love You Feral Interactive

You are right Dubigrasu. With the GTX 750, Phoronix gets an average of 18fps at High. I get 29.5 fps.

Personnal experience, I tried driver 352 from xorg-edger and got an avg of 29.8fps vs driver 346 (29.5 fps). The bad part is the lowest that drops to 11 fps (352) instead of 15 fps (346). Had a couple of slowdowns and I decided to revert back to 346 and purge Xorg-edger.

I even experienced slowdowns during the startup animations (Feral and WB logo).

Pretty weird behaviors...

Edit: Man I love this game! It's my #1 game. Stole the top spot from The Witcher 2.
