I buy products that I can use immediately. Kickstarter does not work that way.

Why isn't Stasis on Linux?

Awesome game. You guys should certainly pick this up.

Show your support for the devs. They still have Disgaea 3, 4 and 5 to go.

Quoting: herycp

Quoting: [email protected]I only install very minimal packages from AUR. They don't guarantee compatibility with core, community and extra.

Not sure what's the benefit of Antergos.. i think i prefer vanilla Arch.

for me vanilla too much work for ready to daily use

Recently, the freetype2 implementation with AUR for infinality fonts was outdated (not based on the latest freetype2 update). This broke some packages from core/community/extra. I had to remove that old implementation and install the latest freetype2 from core/community/extra (which is now very beautiful).

This is an example.

Some programs i still use AUR for just because of convenience and it dosen't really impact other packages. Like Skype for Linux - Alpha and various other small packages. For Telegram, it has it's own built in updater and there's an updater binary in the folder which you download from the website so you don't need AUR. Discord i like to install manually too.

I actually have a /home/$user/opt folder for this stuff and /home/$user/git folder for stuff from git.

For the stuff that's potentially system breaking, i don't use AUR.

Quoting: cybersolRolling release is fantastic and I will never go back on my personal machines. Arch derivatives, Gentoo derivatives, or even Debian testing all will work. Source-based like Arch and Gentoo is just icing on the cake, because I love knowing I could patch anything if I wanted to, even though I've only used that twice over the last decade. Right now Arch has the best wiki, and that is way more valuable than most people appreciate.

I've seen MS quoting the Arch wiki in some of their Azure content for Linux professionally. LOL.

That's how good it is.

I read both.

Mike @ Phoronix has a different audience. Sure, sometimes things overlap but he's more focused on benchmarking, testing and general Linux news.

For gaming, i look to this site.

Quoting: PixelPiSounds quite reasonable. Some people are just experienced in Linux and in Windows. Nevertheless, the idea exists that the games run better under Windows.

I am doing my experiences with Doom 2016. Everything is running super (under Wine) but then there is again a problem. I think it runs better under Windows. Nevertheless, I would never switch to Windows. But I can understand, however, if people prefer to play on Windows.

Can you save games now under wine?

Quoting: staticx27Being able to set brightness or contrast using this option (and using it in the past with my old GTX 660ti) does not work, In game or on the desktop (Redshift). Not sure why this is, but I thought people should be aware. Unfortunately this makes it not an option for me.

Likely a bug that needs to be reported to NVIDIA. I found that with this on, if you switch to another tty and back, redshift works again for that session until you reboot.

An important point to note is that if you enable FCP, you might want to disable in game vsync. You'll encounter performance hits that can be pretty massive. In game vsync is no longer necessary.
