Massive scale RTS game Ashes of the Singularity II announced for 2026

Curious to learn how it compares to Beyond All Reason (BAR) which already does large scale battles and innovates the RTS genre.
I occasionally play BAR and it seems quite good to me, but it seems like RTS aficionados really have stamped BAR the GOAT for the genre. Apparently for players really, really into RTS's it's a dream title and we're in the golden age.

Wow, thanks for this notification! I wanted to try and get into that series at some point and this now is the perfect opportunity. Purchased. Much appreciated!

Open source Medal of Honor: Allied Assault adds better bots and a new master server for online play

Has anyone actually gotten this to work with offline bots as yet?

STEEL HUNTERS is another live service casualty as it's shutting down

Yeah, the gaming industry long ago drove home to me to never, ever buy a title that depends upon a centralized server for its viability. Ballistic Overkill (a great FPS title on Linux in the late 20-teens) was the last straw.

All these years later and still perhaps the most impactful website in the entire Linux ecosystem. Congrats!

Can't wait to try this.

Also remember there is a Tie Fighter (arguably the better game) Total Conversion (approaching 100K downloads, and with a 9.8 score) as well which I believe can also be made to run on Linux: https://www.moddb.com/mods/tie-fighter-total-conversion-tftc [External Link]

Is this a "Last Starfighter" type of situation where the top scoring players get TSA job offers?

Quoting: voxHaven't heard about any problems with akonadi, but heard and suffered enough through baloo`s BS. Many people suggest turning it off, deleting it and like physically scraping it from the hard drive with a rusty knife - just to be sure. So be advised about it. It "works" on my system, but sometimes it doesn't when you need it. Some people say, that it never actually works, despite being very busy all the time.
I have had personal experience with Baloo as well, disabling it is definitely recommended until they fix it (if they haven't already), although I don't even notice any downside to disabling it.
I use KDE on my home desktop PC and I'm astonished at how bad/unreliable/unusable baloo is after all this time, to the point of (still) being broken. I use the FSearch app for help there. Gnome is excellent in this regard.

Reminder: GamingOnLinux needs your support

No website I'm happier to support. My goodness, I've been a member here over 8 years and reading even longer than that, about all 11 or 12 years I've been on Linux. Gamingonlinux is Linux, as far as I'm concerned. While I game less than I used to, it's an ever increasing reason Linux continues to grow, and for those gamers, this is their resource. I encourage everyone to give!

Just did the update on my work laptop (on Manjaro, my home systems are on Endeavour). So far, so good!
