My sincere apologies for that Eike, I did follow the link, but I didn't realise what you were trying to say. I'm too used to hearing complaints from people about not wanting to use the proprietary drivers and I just assumed that's what you meant in this case. Again, I'm sorry.

Spoiler, click me
Although my point about Debian packagers being loons still stands, they don't carry the latest version of _anything_. Frankly it's a miracle that the driver they are shipping isn't 5 years old :)

Debian based distros would be my absolute last choice for a gaming or media system, their ethos that old === stable is at complete odds with the fact those systems benefit most from cutting edge developments, whether it's better driver performance or support for the very latest tech. I'm not even happy that their niche is the server, or at least not a server behind a modern site unless you're happy developing applications based on already unsupported versions of frameworks, databases etc

Quoting: Eike

Ups, I forgot that.
I'm not eager on installing a driver not contained in any Debian distribution [External Link]...
Well the Debian packagers are all a bunch of loons ...

Proprietary drivers are not the work of Satan, and if you were really concerned about it you'd not be able to drive a modern car, watch TV or make a phone call because all these devices, even those based on linux, use binary drivers and firmware.

If that fails to change your mind, consider the fact that you're refusing to use a closed source driver to play a closed source game - that doesn't make a jot of sense does it now?

How come the 'complete' collection is shown as only being available for Windows even though it only contains the games which are individually available for linux?

Are you using some sort of plugin to disable the Humble bundle within the store page?

Selection of inspiration sounds great to me. Definitely interested.

It's a real shame, they had such grand plans for Single Player and if they never actually complete this aspect of the game it will probably be consigned to my dustbin. It has a lot of promise, although the current standalone Single Player missions have me concerned that while they have created a really impressive world, the story is a bit thin and the gameplay therefore suffers, feeling a bit clinical.

My mouse doesn't flicker, or at least I've never noticed it, but then my attention tends to be on the screen when playing the game and not the peripherals.
