Every update breaks something graphically for me. I'm getting a lot of pixelation. Anyone having problems on NVIDIA?

Quoting: GuestWell if you would use Discord there is the Lutris Team very Active and you get help fairly quick. I even did some bug hunting for them once for a few hours since there where some issues with the Lutris Runtime.
Yes, the Discord is the place to go for Lutris help, as the forums there are strangely dead.

Urban Terror was the first Linux native game I tried on a Chromebook running a Linux chroot. Great to see it's still being worked on! It's still quite fun, and great on laptops with just integrated Intel GPU's.

Looks nice, and I always welcome any space themed titles to Linux, but I'm disappointed there's no online MP which, if I recall, I think they had touted early in development...

Quoting: Cyba.CowboyI've heard the claim a couple of times over the years... But from what I can tell, poor quality hardware is not as common as one would think; it seems to just be the age-old "angry customers make the most noise".

Based on what I can see online, the overwhelming majority of System76 customers have always seemed quite happy with their purchase
For what it's worth, I've had two System76 laptops (including my gaming machine now) and I've been extremely pleased with both. They've been rock solid and I've never had a single hiccup.

Quoting: GuestI do not need a new desktop, but I will be watching this VERY closely!
While still years off, once they gain the experience from desktops, they said they then want to do laptops.

Quoting: GuestLooks somewhat cool but I'm still disappointed because I'm still waiting for a successor to X3, spiritual or otherwise.
You know X4 is coming in some fashion in about 2 months, right? Looks like a mix of everything that everyone loved about both X3 and Rebirth together in a new game.

Holy shit I had no idea! No linux support though, x3 and rebirth both had linux support.

It apparently uses vulkan... I wonder why there's no linux support on launch, seems like it's planned though which is good news.
No, actually Linux support is planned! The Linux beta might be available at Windows launch (and we'll see if the Windows version works through Proton).

Also, if you like that genre, make sure you check out Helium Rain as well, which while different, is a great title coming out soon and in Early Access.
