Megaquarium, a new and exciting looking simulation game about building your own aquarium

I wish the zoomed out view had more of an aquarium theme than what is shown in the trailer. As it is, it's an adorable idea, but it looks a bit too sterile and doesn't quite tickle my fascination with marine life.

You could give setuid a try. Make a shell script as root, and then:chmod u+s script.sh
You should be able to run it as a user with it's owner rights, which are root.
No go on my Arch system. I've also tried editing the sudoers config file with visudo and using sudo instead, but that still asks for a password :/
Are you sure it is owned by root?
chown root script.sh
A plasmoid to change the CPU governor doesn't seem a bad idea, I might look into that.

Quoting: linuxjacques[...]I'm curious - what FPS are you seeing?Never mind, I had an issue with my driver and it was running without GPU acceleration on my main monitor :P I'm seeing ~70 FPS with everything on high now :)

Seeing as this lovely utility seems to be missing from the Arch repositories, I whipped up this Argos script instead.

Quoting: M@GOidFor a more easy way to change the settings, install the package "indicator-cpufreq"("sudo apt install indicator-cpufreq" for those of you in Ubuntu). It will show a icon in your taskbar were with 2 mouse clicks you can change to the Performance governor and back. I use it for both AMD and Intel CPUs for years and it works great, for any DE.

About 12 FPS with everything on low/ultra low/off and bloom turned off and 5 FPS with bloom on. This is on a GTX 970 OC where Total War Warhammer runs fluidly so there's definitely something up with the game.

Uh-oh. This may apply to me too then.

Quoting: cRaZy-bisCuiTThe graphics looks pretty similar to the X series. Does it also play like that?It's been a while since I played X, but as I remember it, not really. It's a bit more like EVE done in Minecraft.

EDIT: Everyone, please ignore that. It was a driver issue, not the game.

I thoroughly recommend supporting these guys! They whipped up a Linux demo during their Kickstarter campaign, despite not initially planning to support Linux, just because us fans were asking for it in the comments and chat; not only that, but they kept it up to date and added Linux as a target platform as a result.
Also, the game is already pretty fun and definitely feels like Descent (more so than Descent: Underground in my opinion).

The awesome looking FPS 'STRAFE' has been delayed, with no set Linux release date now

Anyway, yay Strafe, buh not knowing about the Linux version.
To be fair, they never promised, only said that they would look into it later, so there's no real change.

Quoting: Luke_NukemAlso, it's not even a statistic of how many Linux gamers there are, but a statistic of how many got and answered the hardware survey.Quoting: lidstahOne thing before war starts: these famous market share.
Let's do the math [...]
This a thousand times. It seems to be the one thing people always forget; just because the percentage drops, does not mean the overall amount of Linux gamers has dropped.
