Quoting: Asu
Quoting: GrimfistI already converted 2 off my friends, the rest is hesitant, but I am more resiliant :D
Also very important if you convert someone, please support them.
Oh I do, but the funny thing is, their are pretty normal office PC users, so the need to support them is actually lower then when they were using Windows. ;)

That is awesome news in my bucket. And we should not forget, that the private desktop market is still growing, and to grow as an individual OS in a still growing market is more then a success.
With every fucked up release, Win10 get's more and more despised by its consumer base, and more and more will venture away from Win10, so this is the time when we need to be vocal about Linux as a serious alternative, so we don't lose those willing to change to Mac. We need more marketing, and we all can do it. I already converted 2 off my friends, the rest is hesitant, but I am more resiliant :D

Small site update in regards to the moderation queue, which is now live on article comments

Hmm, as I am following this site for quite some time now and love to read the comments, I can only remember a handful of "toxic posts" in the past year or so. I guess that is due to moderation ;) ?
Anyway, if it is a problem for you as the site owner, and steals time which could be spent for other things, do it, it is your right and the community benefits from it too. So go on.

Humble Indie Bundle 18 is here with Owlboy, Kentucky Route Zero & more
17 May 2017 at 8:57 am UTC

Oh yes, compared to the last Indie Bundles where I already owned half of the games this time I own none of them. Therefore this is an instand pick for me.

Humble tinyBuild Bundle has some really good Linux games for cheap
9 May 2017 at 9:13 pm UTC

Wow, this bundle seems really worth the bucks. Party Hard, Final Station and Punch Club Deluxe looks very promising. Will pick it up later.

Victor Vran Motörhead expansion has a beautifully heavy trailer, release date for the two DLC packs announced

Insta buy for me and my buddies. Big Victor fans and Motörhead fans, what could possibly go wrong? I guess I need to finish up some games before end of May :D

Announcing a new fun venture for me: Our sister site LifeOnLinux
19 Apr 2017 at 11:57 am UTC

Nice Liam, will check back on that site now too ;)
For the login stuff, I am a big fan of OpenID, so maybe you can lookup that and integrate it in both sides. Would be awesome.
Other than that, good idea and I hope you get it all managed.

Flinthook, a fast action-platformer with roguelike elements releases day-1 for Linux
19 Apr 2017 at 8:54 am UTC

Boy, the pixel art and chiptune sounds are amazing, this is how pixel art should be done in 2017! For the gameplay, I think I am out here, looks to fast for me, I am not getting younger and my reflexes aren't that good anymore.

Superposition, the latest benchmark by Unigine, has been released
12 Apr 2017 at 9:17 am UTC

Sadly they do not support Vulkan, would really like to see a good Vulkan Benchmark for Linux.

Just ran it yesterday evening on 1080p extreme preset. My machine got only 1100-somthing score, whereas HexDSLs machine (nearly exact same hardware, same gpu, same driver) got over 1500. Only difference so far was, he uses Antergos and I still use Ubuntu 16.04. So maybe this was another coffin nail for Ubuntu.
