I got this game after having read about it here and I have to say it's proven to be very enjoyable!
A true homage to the old sidescrollers with a dash of puzzler. Due to my schedule I don't have time to play it through in one go, but I'm enjoying every second of it while I can.

Some thoughts on switching from Ubuntu to Antergos for Linux gaming

I used Ubuntu at first as well, to familiarize myself more with Linux, and a few days ago I hopped on board the rolling release train, with Arch Linux in my case.
I can safely say that it has been the best decision in my computing history so far.
I've never felt so empowered with an OS, and proud of my accomplishments in setting it up 100% as I like it.
I'm not going back to Ubuntu anymore, let alone Windows.
Arch has a massive package database and to top that all off there's the AUR for additional software, I love it.

Quoting: VexationI'll dig through my passwords and see if I can give a whirr with Arch and keep you posted here.
Previously ran the java client on Ubuntu 16.04 with no issues.
After updating my icu57 and some java dependencies, installing went pretty smooth on Arch.
Not too much of a hassle since it's available on AUR and can be easily packaged and installed.
Performance seems good, and it looks pretty damn neat as well.
