it's sad when articles like this have to be written.
some people like to really get under your skin for little to no good reason.
congrats on being a new arch based user :) Antergos uses the standard Arch repos plus their own custom repo, I even have their repo setup in my arch build for keeping pamac updated. it does seem to make installing Arch as simple as installing Ubuntu or any other main stream distro.

Quoting: KeyrockObviously, the Pornhub numbers are the hardest evidence yet for Linux growth. Hopefully Linux usage keeps thrusting forward and we reach a big climax in the future.how titillating it is.

since sales are moving away from PCs MS seems more concerned about their cloud based services, mobile software and xbox moving forward. I'm sure they will continue to do what is necessary to maintain their PC market-share as long as it stays profitable, although it only accounts for 10% of their overall revenue.

I definately appreciate all the work Stefan did to keep the drivers working. with such a nice and clean interface for Linux. the Roccat Tyon I use stores the settings within the mouse. much like some of the high end Logitech mice. But the Roccat has a native interface on Linux to do this thanks to Stefan.

this is awesome news, i was looking at this not that long ago hoping it would come to Linux. will probably keep it on the watch list for now until it's closer to release.

i've been checking this one out from time to time since they planned to release for linux. it's good they stuck to what they claim.
aside from albion online these are some nice MMOs. just wished I had the time dedication for such an endeavor these days. maybe one day :D

this is no more a RPG than Minecraft is. its main sale point is a sandbox adventure game. some developers will stick RPG on anything with a character you customize. the only other RPG aspects is the storyline in story mode and the skill point system for adventure mode.
the character audio is a bit odd, I totally agree, the audio was literally thrown in the last parts of the beta stages. for some reason the sound is anchored to the NPC's body. so when in story mode to hear all the audio you have to be near the NPC speaking to actually hear it. instead they should have positioned the audio on Your character so you can hear it all, no matter where the NPC is.
that video of Chen sort of surprised me, I never actually heard all of that my one play-through of the story. I caught the tail end of it as I was getting close to him, but these sort of audio bits have changed the last few updates since 1.0.
there is the dialog volume in the settings, which controls that. but turning that down will make other dialog harder to hear at times.
That opening song is good with that lady singing but then that guy starts out with the whole crooner bit killed the song all together.
I think the overall premise of this game is really great as far as the sandbox adventure goes. aside from I really liked the game more-so without the sound. I think the devs just tried to do too much for their resources.
The good thing is the dev team seems devoted to continuing the development. So hopefully things will get better as time goes.
the best aspect of this game is the custom build system for vehicles and items in the game. plus the build system for structures is by far the best out there, so far. as long as the multiplayer gets better tweaks plus adventure mode gets a few tweaks then it will be really solid for the sandbox aspect.
