The Linux kernel is in 81% of smartphones, 60% of tablets, in most every router, cable box and streaming boxes, and PCs run by the smartest computer users :D.

Thank you, Linus, for creating this superior OS (along with the GNU Project (let's not forget RMS) and licensing it for free, making it as ubiquitous as it has become.

I bought it some time ago and am pretty happy with it. The new content is icing on the cake.

Oolite 1.84 released, the open source open-world Elite-like game is maturing
2 Aug 2016 at 7:25 pm UTC

I first played Elite on a C=64, and it was one impressive game for its time. Frontier was the sequel, coming out for the Amiga and DOS. Oolite is a worthy successor.

I'm with ditobe about Warzone 2100; it's excellent.

Card-based strategy game Faeria will go free to play in September, it's really good
2 Aug 2016 at 7:23 pm UTC

I've had it for a couple of months; it's good fun, except when the AI gets 5 more cards than you do and you get Campfires :'( .

I expect it to refine further.

Latest Steam Hardware Survey shows Linux has grown, by a tiny amount (updated)
2 Aug 2016 at 6:48 pm UTC

I was booting into a 14.04 virtual machine to play OOTP Baseball, which does not run on 16.04 :><: , and got the survey. I hadn't gotten a survey since I used Steam for Windows through PlayOnLinux, and of course it was counting as a Windows deck.

Yep, it appeared in my library after buying it in 2011(!).

Whoops! The dreaded "missing executable"...

The Battle for Wesnoth, the great open source fantasy strategy game is now on Steam Greenlight
25 Jul 2016 at 3:33 pm UTC

Yes, it's in the repos, just like Vulture for Nethack. It'll give the devs a little $$$ to help them, and if any game devs deserve it, it's for Battle for Wesnoth.
