A look at some neat Linux games you can find on the awesome itch store

Pixel Dungeon is also open-source (and available on the F-Droid FOSS repository for Android). It even has spawned some interesting forks and ports. Here some github links:

Some of the mentioned specs also seems to be only strech-goals, which seems a bit sketchy.
Still overall a nice machine by the looks of it.

Feast your eyes on the new trailer for 'Stellaris - Leviathans' DLC, releasing October 20th

Any idea on the price? It sounds very interesting, but I doubt I could justify paying more than 10€ or so for it.

Hmm, while nice I do wonder if these kind of ports make back their money. I, like many others I believe already own those games (never managed to finish them under Windows, back when I was still dual-booting). So this is indeed a nice gift, but I don't really plan to buy them again as I am unlikely to invest much time in those games. Of course if the port was really easy, it might be worth it, who knows.

Freespace 2 looks set to gain an open source mission editor

Yeah, the lack of a proper open-source license has held this project back so much... it is really a shame. Almost like the Homeworld 1 source release, that also came with a stupid shared-source license :(

Trailer looks great, hmm but early access? Maybe I'll wait a bit. But lets hope for good Stream controller support :)

Vanguard Princess, a popular 2D fighting game is now on Linux & SteamOS

This is a really good fighting game if you look past the aging graphics and other technical limitations. IMHO much better than Skull Girls and most other recent 2D fighting games.

Could you please add KDE Neon as an option: https://neon.kde.org/ [External Link]

Or maybe have the Kubuntu option as both, since it is very close to that and somewhat a successor to it?

Maybe a funny question would be also if the computer came with Linux preinstalled (Steam boxes, Tuxedo etc.). Additional it could have the answer, "no, but everything works out of the box with no extra configuration" or so.

Vikings – Wolves of Midgard Announced from Kalypso Media and Games Farm with Linux support

Hmm, why didn't they re-use the VictorVran engine? That one worked really well and didn't have all the typical Unity issues/slowness :(
