Can we kill that fucking penguin already? We desperately need a better, more professional logo of some sort - not a decades old mascot that looks exactly like it is decades old.

Logo! Not Mascot! (for the professional environments) Leave the mascot to plushies and fans.

Editorial: A chat about asking developers for a Linux port

Quite frankly the "elitest/snobbish/arrogant" element coming out in Linux gaming communities is pissing me off big time.

How about let's do something different - if you see that a developer has taken the time and effort to support our smaller market segment, and help to expand and grow it, congratulate and thank them! It's what I do on any medium that they are active on.

And above all, if you have the absolute inability to say things in a constructive non-fucking-wankerish way, then don't fucking say anything at all!

Don't be a cunt. It's that simple.

Redout, a fantastic looking tribute to games like WipeOut could come to Linux, with enough interest

Quoting: AnxiousInfusionLinux very much needs it's own "F-Zero".

You mean "Wipeout"?

What one game would blow your mind if it came to Linux & SteamOS?

Motherfucking Doom!

And Dishonoured 2.

And Prey 2.

And Skyrim...


These games all seem to have something in common...

The Tux icon is fucking hideous though, and scales down like a lump of cow shit does to a rabbit dropping.

Valve are looking towards Flatpak functionality for Steam

Quoting: lucifertdarkI made the mistake of adding Snappy to my system a while back, it took me two days of fighting to get rid of it, every time I removed it a stray piece would cause the whole thing to reinstall, it's worse than a bloody virus & I want no part of it again thanks. If Flatpak is anywhere near as bad as that they can keep it off my system.

FlatPak is a hell of a lot better, very self contained with few external deps.

Quoting: mehari95Does anyone know why they chose Flatpak over Snap?

Because it's the more generic version of this tech. Snaps are too specialised to Ubuntu and many distros won't use them.

This sounds exactly like they'll be replacing the included Ubunutu runtime directories with Faltpak versions of it. Likely with the aim of enabling use of multiple versions to help prevent breakage in the future.
