Quite commendable. Banished always sounded cool.

Not that it's fun to dual boot, but he could put Linux on the MacBook without having to switch to something less sleek. I have Mint and OS X on an old (2007), unused MacBook right now.

No cross-platform is really disappointing. A moment ago, I was about to organize a game day with my friends so we could play after the game is released in next month's Humble Bundle. While I still look forward to playing the game all by myself, playing with my friends was my main excitement.

This does look pretty cool.

From what I've heard about The Witness, I would be very interested in getting it for Linux. But his words don't inspire any hope.

The synopsis sounded cool but I gotta say that, other than the HD resolution, it looks like it came out in 1996.

Wow. I didn't expect it to come so soon. woot! It's nice.

EDIT: Sweet! Steam reconnected after my computer went to sleep last night. One more little thing not to miss in Windows.

It was cool to see this headline. I remember many weeks ago when you tweeted some frustration about Ubuntu. I replied (among many I'm guessing) to give a good look into Antergos. I use regular Arch myself, but the buy-in price (time wise) is higher. I went the familiar pattern of Ubuntu > Mint > Arch. I've been on Arch for a good while, maybe two years, and I love it. It makes me like my computer. It definitely feels like MY computer, more than Windows 7 did.

To all of us commenters:
I don't think it's cool to attempt convincing someone why they should switch distros unless they ask for it. We all have reasons for liking the different ones out there.

I think I'll buy this tonight.

Using a Debian server, here is how you install Murmur:
apt-get install mumble-server
systemctl enable mumble-server

Keep your system updated with security patches automatically:
apt-get install unattended-upgrades
vim /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/20auto-upgrades
Make sure the contents are thus:
APT::Periodic::Update-Package-Lists "10";
APT::Periodic::Unattended-Upgrade "1";
APT::Periodic::Download-Upgradeable-Packages "10";
APT::Periodic::AutocleanInterval "30";

When you're ready to go live, open ports 64738 (TCP and UDP) to your server's IP address.

Every now and then, like every month or two, you should log into the server and run:
apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
Once it's done, if you notice a new kernel installed, you should reboot the server.

Want to dig in more? There is a config file at /etc/mumble-server.ini. It's fine to run at defaults if you don't want to go through the file.
If you need help with networking, like NAT or dynamic public IP or DNS issues, let me know.

The eco message is pretty strong in this game (the whole point), so perhaps that will turn some people off. I'm not one of those folks, however, so I'm looking forward to it. It looks like I could have a lot of fun playing in that world of consequences.
