Quoting: Projectile Vomitwith the ProtonDB

It's Proton. ProtonDB is a website.

Lol thank you. Edited. I was tired when I typed that.

Yeah, while I am happy to see Wurm Online go to Steam, I am quite happy that Dungeons & Dragons Online works flawlessly with the Proton. I've tried Wurm (both the online and the stand-alone). It doesn't quite have the appeal for me, however I think that may be due to the fact that I am a die-hard DnD fan.

This nails the Starfox vibe! I'm down!

Quoting: HoriAnyone knows what happened to SuperTuxKart's release on Steam?
I always forget about games if I don't see them in my library :P

It'd be very nice to have it there, especially if they'll also add achievements for it.

The licensing link mentions Steam, so I am guessing it will end up there. It is on itch.io, currently.

The mentioning of this game reminds me: Whatever happened to Padman? I mean, it still exists, but it would be nice to see more levels or a map editor. It is a fun game, but it seems like they got so far with it and just moved on.

Quoting: Projectile VomitI'm still wrestling with this damn Nvidia/Intel hybrid thing. I switched, recently, to Manjaro (KDe- I love KDe. Leave me alone.) and have never seen this hybrid thing until now. I tried switching to just the Nvidia 440 drivers, and rebooting did not give me the desired results. I am the guy who simply decided to reformat (after backing up everything using a liveUSB), when I mess up the graphics. I have never been very good at recovering a system from a graphics issue. So I reformatted with Manjaro (I get better results with my music production than from other distros, which may have something to do with the hybrid video drivers, as Nvidia is known not to play nice with audio production, but I'm not entirely sure). I am back at the hybrid drivers and, for now, I'm leaving them. Music production is a bit more important to me than games, at least on this computer (my only computer, at this time). I hope a switch that doesn't have me altering files and jumping through hoops comes along soon.

While Manjaro runs fine on my desktop (no hybrid), I had the same problem than you with my MSI laptop. I finally installed Linux Mint on it, and it works ok. I haven't tried making music on it though.

I was using Linux Mint until they dropped their KDe spin. Ever since the loss of Gnome 2.0, I have stuck with KDe.

I am deliberating on purchasing Doom on Steam and cuddling up to some Proton goodness.

My dad's first computer was commandeered by me at age 13 (Franklin Ace 1200 Apple II compatible). I mean, I let him borrow it for work and whatnot, but it became mine.

My first game was Wizardry: Proving Grounds (which, in my opinion, sparked the wick of future RPGs).

I will always have a special place in my heart for these old RPGs.

And yes, it would be nice to have GoG Galaxy native on Linux, but I am quite happy with the direction of Lutris.

I've been using KDe, since the demise of Gnome 2.0, and haven't looked back.
In fact, I started out with KDe, in '99, with SuSE.

KDe has always been remarkable. Ubuntu lost me when they stopped caring about Kubuntu. Mint lost me when they stopped offering KDe Spin.

Arch Linux has me.
