Completely free top-down shooter CS2D is now on Steam

Haven't tried it, but this [External Link] might help with the sound issue.
The developer also has a bit old, but great and classic survival game called Stranded 2 (only Windows, works great through Wine) and is in the middle of the development of the 3rd version with Unity.

F1 2017 system requirements for the Linux port have been revealed, NVIDIA & AMD supported
31 Oct 2017 at 9:45 pm UTC

Quoting: scaineI wonder if Ubuntu 17.04 is a typo? Unusual to state a non-LTS release as a minimum spec, isn't it? Genuinely don't know, but I only run LTS releases on my gaming machine, so I guess I'll find out when I get this.
It's probably because of kernel and Mesa inside. You can get the same on an LTS with HWE, but it's not obvious.

One of Valve's choices of games to highlight for Steam Machines is more than a little silly

This really seems like a joke. Someone should open a bug report to Steam about this, so they at least notice it.

The beautiful space combat game 'EVERSPACE' finally lands on Linux in an unofficial form

Wonder which AMD driver they used for testing. :huh:

EVERSPACE is finally nearing a release on Linux, initial release will be under the radar

I am curious whether the AMD problems are driver related and in that case, which one (open-source/closed). Maybe knowing that and asking the community would speed things up.

Site Update: New GPU Model database for our user PC info & statistics system
28 Jul 2017 at 7:14 pm UTC

Quoting: no_information_here
Quoting: GuestFor anyone not sure about what model GPU they're running, something like the following may help:

lspci | grep VGA

(that assumes you have lspci available of course)
GLX can also query information:

glxinfo | grep Device

There are other ways as well, depending on the distro used. I'm not really up to speed on all the graphical tools available, so I encourage people to suggest alternatives.
Hmm. Not so useful in my case (Neon/Ubuntu 16.04). For "lspci | grep VGA" I get:

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation Device 1c82 (rev a1)

...which probably doesn't help for this survey. For glxinfo I get nothing. In the Nvidia control panel, it tells me the card model on the "XScreen 0" tab. Your instructions may be more revealing for people running Mesa?

(I knew my card, but wanted work it out from scratch like you suggested).
You might want to try the update-pciids command (maybe sudo is needed).

CRYENGINE 5.4 Preview released, includes Vulkan support

compatible for projects on PC
Might be wrong, but suspect they mean Windows.

Re:Legend, a co-op monster raising RPG is planning a Linux & SteamOS version

I find it really promising, but this:
We will port it to SteamOS
and
it will be after the Windows release.
is always risky. It is told too often.

Slime Rancher updated with another huge area to explore in the 'Glass Desert Update'
13 Jun 2017 at 5:24 pm UTC

Quoting: razing32I am really worried to start playing this.
Afraid I won't be able to stop. :S:
Don't worry. When I play a lot, I just let it be for some time, then I start all over again, in a new game. Sometimes, addiction is good. :)

Ubuntu now has a more official PPA to get Mesa updates

what ppa i should use?
https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/ubuntu/updates [External Link]

or

https://launchpad.net/~paulo-miguel-dias/+archive/ubuntu/pkppa [External Link]

Help please
You should use the first one, which is an "official" PPA run by Ubuntu developers.
Second one is yet-another-user-who-created-a-ppa PPA.
Actually, not that easy. When the whole discussion started, Ubuntu devs said they are willing to provide a place for it if someone does the work. Then came this guy "yet-another-user-who-created-a-ppa", who already has years behind him as a mesa-git ppa provider, creating a stable ppa too. Now, it seems someone from the Ubuntu devs decided to also work on it. For me it was a big surprise, as the x-swat ppa was basically abandoned for at least a year now, if not even more. Don't misunderstand, I am thankful to Timo and it's better to have more ppas, just don't take it as some great achievement or at least don't belittle the work of others on this field.
