The tenth Norse world sure is busy as Valheim hits 5 million sold
4 Mar 2021 at 8:19 am UTC

Fully deserved - i've rented a server with 4 friends and it's been a fairly long time since we came together to play a game with such regularity as valheim ^^

Are there any numbers yet regarding the % of Linux sales? I remember there being a "we reached out to the devs, but no answer yet" - has that changed?

Wow, never heard of them, even though they are that big...
Well, lets hope they are one of the "good guys" ^^

Valve abusing the market power of Steam on game pricing according to a lawsuit

Whats the fuss about? Steam is giving out free keys to the devs with the only catch that they may not sell them lower than they do on steam (with details on sales etc) - while steam still has the same infrastructure-costs for those keys.

I really wouldn't be surprised if Sweeny "motivated" those 5 guys to initiate such a dumb lawsuit that costs us taxpayers unnecessary money -.-

I'd really hope for more VR-games the quality of Alyx :D
But i'd be equally happy for new singleplayer pancake games from valve to be honest ^^

AMD make switching between Vulkan drivers AMDVLK and RADV easier
9 Jan 2021 at 12:16 pm UTC

I only had to use AMDVLK one or two years ago for Divinity OS 2, other than that radV has served me perfectly well. Nevertheless, it's nice to see this being made easier, i needed a bit to figure out how to switch via the VK_ICD_FILENAMES env

The Linux distribution I was most thankful for in 2020 - EndeavourOS

Quoting: theghostI really liked and used Antergos a long time. I would really like to use EndeavorOS as successor but unfortunately they replaced the installer of Antergos with Calamares. But Calamares offers no option to encrypt your hard drive in combination with an unencrypted boot. The only two distributions which offer this are Ubuntu and Fedora. So I will stick with them.
you can do that with manjaro-architect, too (which is exactly what i've done ^^)

Portal 2: Desolation standalone mod gets a first proper teaser, coming to Linux

i agree that MEL was a really great experience :D
And if nothing changed (i played it before there were different modes), the puzzles are really nice food for thought and satisfying once you finally solve them ^^

If this mod comes close to that, i'll be really happy :wub:
