Quoting: n30p1r4t3I know there are some exceptions to Mint/Ubuntu compatibility. With that being said, I still can't fathom why those two distributions (That are basically the same) only. Why Mint? (See first sentence).

I believe that it would have been better to support Debian/SteamOS. It's sad to see no love/support for some many great distributions...Arch, SuSe, Fedora, Gentoo, etc. etc.

SteamOS is from their competitor. Debian is less popular than Ubuntu and Mint (among gamers) according to the Steam hard/software survey.

And they are giving love (even if no tech support) to other distros by providing .tar.gz files alongside the .deb.

The landscape is gradually popping up in the second video too. I think you're affected by a placebo effect. :whistle:

If I understand correctly, VBO (vertex buffer objects) improve FPS but doesn't help with world calculation.

I think it would feel better for you and your readers if you slightly changed your stance from :
"Please don't block ads, or otherwise donate if you want me to go on."
to
"If you like what I'm doing and want me to go on, please donate or otherwise don't block ads"

Same thing but different formulation, it feels a little more positive and encourages donations more than advertising which is controversial.

Also, you should think of how you could better reward those who donate. Get ideas from crowdfunding and free-to-play games. And you can ask us for ideas.

Quoting: BartNobody cares about DOTA 2 license yet it's free game and on Linux. Good news!

Thumb rule: never say nobody. So much could be done if Dota 2 was libre. There are dozens of things I'd like to improve on this game. If it was open, there'd be hundreds of people contributing, working on stuff Valve don't or won't do.

When their ancient spring of life begins to fail, an unwanted orphan child must leave the safety of his villages' mountaintop refuge. With only an ancient sword and a mysterious metal glove, he ventures into lands unexplored and twisted by strange ancient powers.

That's three times "ancient". This word is overused among fantasy games but they managed to overuse it in a single paragraph. :dizzy:

Er... there's a truckload of bugs fixed for Team Fortress 2 and other Valve games... ??? Those games have been ported to Linux, why did someone loose so much time making them work through Wine ?

I didn't ask for a dark theme but I'm happy you added it !

I would make the background of the articles a little lighter though, the contrast with the text is a bit too much with my perfectly calibrated screen :whistle: and it hurts my tired eyes.

These scenarists are really optimistic. We will all die from our own pollution and inability to evolve from our deep stupidity long before we get a chance to destroy other planets.

Your decision to stay clear of those shady agreements made me decide to support you with some money. I appreciate the work you do to reach out to devs etc.

Though as you've been told here and multiple times before, you'll need to put some experience points in wisdom. Because yes, you are aggressive a times, getting into arguments, finding some people are idiots and being blunt about it... Yes, a lot of people are agressive at times too, it's human bad instincts, but your position as a journalist, as one of the faces of the Linux community, requires you to get over it and be smarter than this, wiser than 'them'. It's hard and a constant struggle with your emotions but you will do yourself a favor.
