So they chose a $2000 laptop that almost no one can afford to start on? That makes perfect sense.

Usually when I install Linux on a Laptop most things already work out of the box. I've never bought an Asus before though.

They look really nice, but for the price they better be lol

Will this thing hurry up and die already, this was a failure from the start. Didn't they learn anything from steam machines?, and at $389 I don't really think it is worth it. This is like a niche within a niche, how do they expect to make any money off of this?

I bought Rust way back in 2014 when it was still in early Alpha stages and it was a lot of fun back then, but they kept making changes and the game got less and less fun to play. The last straw for me was when they added permanent Gender and Race Locked characters based on your Steam ID. I won't ever play again until they remove the Gender and Race locks and bring back Linux Support. Linux players should be able to play on the same servers as their Winblows and Mac counterparts

I don't really have the time for this type of game anyway.

The load times really aren't that bad. I'm having a lot of fun with the game. The load times in Natural Selection 2 are far worse.

I'm about to give this a try. It looks awesome!, Day of Infamy is on sale on Steam right now and I just picked it up for less than $4.

It's probably because things like paid randomized loot-boxes are considered gambling, and gambling is heavily regulated in the United States. I'm not sure about other countries.

I actually haven't played this game yet, mostly because I don't particularly like Soccer. If it goes free to play I will definitely give it a try though.

This is great news! Thanks for the heads-up! I think it's finally time for me to upgrade and jump on the DDR4/Ryzen Bandwagon.
I'd love a 3900X, but its a little out of my budget right now. I think a Ryzen 5 3600 will serve me just fine though : )

I love how all the new motherboards have these M.2 SSD card slots, and I can't believe how cheap they've gotten..Time to get my first ever SSD as well.

Quoting: edenist

Quoting: Xakep_SDK> No mainline support
Thanks, no.

Yeah this is one of a couple of things which really have me torn over raspis. I have a couple, and they are great, but I have to keep in mind they are designed for education purposes. The SD card primary storage just doesn't cut it as any sort of production system. USB storage is an option now I suppose, and just keep a read-only boot partition on the SD card, but....

... no mainline support really irks me. It just seems like them keeping the keys way too close to their chest, and support ultimately is in their hands with kernel release being entirely up to their internal processes.

It's these things which keep me happy with my choice of the La Frite from Libre computer. All of their systems have support pushed upstream, they have u-boot/UEFI and also eMMC storage. A much more robust SBC in my opinion.

The Raspberry PI 3 B+ and the Raspberry PI 4 support booting entirely from USB HDD or SSD. You don't need a boot partition on the SD card any longer. That's what I was trying to say in my previous post. I'm happily running Ubuntu Mate [External Link] from my Seagate USB Hard Disk Drive.

Oh, and don't forget the 75k software packages in the repository which can be installed using Apt-get.
