Set Phasers to fun! Stage 9 lets you explore the Enterprise-D from Star Trek The Next Generation on Linux

Hum, great idea but it needs a lot of work. Remind me of years ago graphics. A bit like this game "Titanic Honor and Glory" with the Unreal engine too but no where near the exquisite graphics. There is a windows demo but sadly no Linux, yet.

And all this time in the "not so" turbo-lift.

Something for the weekend - Spec Ops: The Line is free on Humble Store

Thank you very much Liam, I have been missing playing a good shooter for a long time.

Wondering if you buy one now, there is probably no AM4 boards which has the bios for it. It probably won't boot or may be just enough to flash the bios from a usb key.

Well that's weird, I am on Mint 17.3 (Ubuntu 14.04) and I got wine staging up to 2.4 but not 2.5 or 2.6. I notice that they change the repository. It is not a ppa but it is a repository ? I remove the ppa (http://ppa.launchpad.net/wine/wine-builds/ubuntu) and add the repo (not sure what the difference is) Still the Mint updater doesn't offer me anything. Any idea ? TX

Looks very original but I have no clue what to do. Nothing seems to be clickable. Graphics are quite nice and surprisingly the game launch without issue (Mint kde 17.3)

Quoting: M@GOidFor those using Ubuntu and its derivatives, Padoka's PPA for Mesa stable releases is available:

Anybody tried it ? (Mint 18)

That's pretty scary, from the author's ppa page ;
"You can update your system with unsupported packages from this untrusted PPA by adding ...)

Mesa 12.0.6 released with bug fixes for the older stable version, users encouraged to update to Mesa 13

Ok well I am using the default one coming with Mint. Confused, the opensource driver, which also can be use with Nvidia system, is made of different parts and one of them is called "nouveau" for Nvidia cards and for Intel, AMD is called MESA,right ?

The driver manager does not suggest any video driver at all for my system. So if I understand if I am using the opensource driver, I am already using MESA then. Go figure.
