Quoting: metro2033fanboyI hope it aint the current 381 on their PPA, cause that one freezes my Mint a lot! ... EVGA 1060

PS: The one on Nvidia PPA is .09 and this one is .22 haha...waitinggggggggggggggggg
Actually they have just bumped the version to .22 - check now.

Works fine on my 1060 (i'm using plasma though not cinnamon)

By default ALL Opengl Games/Applications disable compositor so you have to FORCE the compositor to stay on.
That is not correct, many older games do not. Openarena for one (at lest the version phoronix-test-suite uses) and digital paint2. Both these games are about 1/4 slower if compositing is enabled.

GTX 560 is just below minimum system requirements (Nvidia 6xx series) so I am worried will/how it will work on my machine.
Well I just bought the game and tested using a Nvidia (1GB) 450GTS, i'm on a fairly low resolution 1152x864 on medium settings and it plays well, I get about 60fps..

Probably beats the fastest intel on-board to be honest.

Some thoughts on switching from Ubuntu to Antergos for Linux gaming

I run kubuntu + project-neon and never have pulseaudio issues (they are both based on Ubuntu), perhaps the desktop you were using (unity) was the main cause of your issue.

Kubuntu 16.10 (+plasma 5.8 PPA_ and project neon are both excellent desktops, as is Arch (with plasma 5.8), in fact most distros work as really good desktops as long as you use a decent desktop (imo not Unity or Gnome)

Swiftpaw, its not that they forgot to set the executable bit, its the fact that you cannot retain Linux file permissions inside a .ZIP file.... You can with .tar .gunzip, etc
