Quoting: GuestThat's the most gimmicky thing I've ever heard of. A level that is only available to play for a certain period of time and only lets you try it once? How about no, and take back control over your own games. Glad I didn't support this. Publishers need to learn to stop ruining games with their gimmicks. Let us play them when we want, how we want, with no strings attached.
Ok, so play the game as you normally would, and forget you ever heard of this. It detracts nothing.

A small tip for anyone working with Kdenlive and large video files

Quoting: AsuYeah, I've been using Blender for video editing. Tho never longer than 10 min flicks. I don't know how would it perform on bigger files...
I watched someone use Blender to edit 4 hours of Blu-Ray content, and it performed perfectly fine, so should be no problem there.

Quoting: ArehandoroIs it just me or are they pretty overpriced?
The competition (mostly Lenovo) has better prices, but again, System76 is a company dedicated to Ubuntu hardware...

If it wasn't for the cost of shipping to Europe + the custom tax, I would consider getting a laptop from them.
Speaking from an ignorant point of view, what are the advantages of getting a System76 Ubuntu dedicated desktop to a desktop choosing the components myself and installing Ubuntu (or any other distro)?
To put it into perspective, ask yourself when was the last time something on Linux didn't work right and you called the company you bought it from for support?

I've had the oppportunity to meet the System76 team twice at their HQ in Denver. I can say, without a doubt, they are the best option for premuim Linux support and hardware. They might be a bit more expensive than identical hardware elsewhere, but there are countless improvements that System76 puts into their products. They have a PPA [External Link] which houses their custom driver set for the nvidia stack, as well as linux improvements in general (and yes, they do submit these fixes upstream). I've bought 2 of their machines, a Galago Pro, two years ago, and an Oryx last year, and i can say without a doubt it has been the best linux experience I've had on any hardware.

AMDGPU-PRO 16.50 actually released, with FreeSync and wider GPU support

So as a long time Nvidia devotee on Linux, can someone explain to a relative AMD outsider- are their cards ready for no-fuss Linux gaming support? Is the driver install process as simple as Vvidia? I ask as someone looking at alternatives for my next GPU upgrade.

What have you been playing recently, and what do you think?

Stellaris with a friend, and Metro:Last Light Redux solo. I get a full 60 FPS on both with a single GTX 970 @ 3440x1440, only having to turn down antialiasing in Metro.

I miss Roller Coaster Tycoon (the original). Hopefully this will scratch that particular itch.

I'm a recent(ish) fan of GOL, but I love what I've seen so far- keep it up, and congratulations!
