Quoting: m2mg2Nvidia driver 367??? That isn't even Fedora repo's. I only uninstalled the repo binary driver 35-something and compiled the binary from Nvidia a couple of weeks ago to get Vulkan support. Are they using Vulkan, what would the reason to require such a recent driver be? Seems like the majority of Linux users would not have this version, am I wrong?

Hey,

Fedora users do have access to this driver.

I use this driver, I find it's much better than the mess that is RPMFusion:

Thanks for the heads up. I think I have used that repo in the past. So many repos though, I have a repo for adobe, handbrake, openra, chrome, playonlinux and rpmfusion

Looking at the Negativo page it has handbrake and adobe stuff in it. Does it contain most other stuff from rpmfusion, meaning can I remove rpmfusion/adobe/handbrake repo and use Negativo without losing anything important?

I use a combination of "UnitedRPMs" and Negativo for my system. I do not have RPMFusion, I use UnitedRPMs because it has all the codecs etc that I need along with Kodi.

You can see what UnitedRPMs has here:

But you'll need at least Fedora 24.

Although, I'd like to point out you can use Negativo's nvidia driver stand-alone, as in only using that repository to avoid overwriting other stuff.

But if you do decide to switch, I'd suggest you first remove all packages from any repositories you plan to remove, and then install new ones from new repositories, this would help prevent having left over or conflicting packages.

Does anyone know if "purchasing" the game here:

Counts as a Windows or Linux purchase? It gives you a steam key, which in turn will allow you to get the trading cards, where as without the key using steams free system you get no cards.

Just curious if I should "do it" or not.

Got my free key, also got myself the indie bundles 4 from bundle stars, that makes it at least two purchases I've made at that place.

Though I try to avoid it as their website always performs badly/slowly for me in Firefox...

But the bundle seemed worth it as the only game that didn't have Linux support is the "Viscera clean up" ones. But the free game makes up for it haha :-D.

Quoting: ElectricPrismThis is fantastic, 17% are confirmed, no doubt the unconfirmed % may be higher.

This is how the avalanche starts.

More games leads to better drivers leads to more sales leads to better steam machines leads to more games leads to...

The year of the Linux Desktop!

Quoting: sevengrrrreaaaaat news indeed :)

Haven't seen anyone use Tony the Tiger's "great" in a while. :-). Good job man! But you miss the "it's" part.

Anyhows, 17% of devs is a fairly healthy chunk in my opinion. It could be a lot worse.
