I've been folding for some weeks now and just switched teams from Archlinux to GOL :)

@Liam: thanks, good idea. There's also a game to help discover an antiviral, programmed by the University of Washington Institute for Protein Design in Seattle: fold.it [External Link]

Thank you Liam. Great article.
Steamplay is the breakout of the chicken and egg problem.
For myself, I play mostly old Windows games now. Dishohored, Batman Arkham Asylum etc. Finally all on Linux!

Edit: not to forget Skyrim SE

Quoting: MalVery OT question. My 2 xbone s controllers stopped to work with steam link last week. They pair with BT just fine but then whatever key I press nothing happens. Forget and re pair doesn't help. I didn't have the time to troubleshot the issue seriously but it doesn't hurt to ask if anyone else had this issue too.
Try installing xpadneo.
It solved all my problems with wireless xbone pads.

We did not exclude any patents from our OIN commitment to license our portfolio to the Linux System. We signed the standard OIN License Agreement, and didn’t negotiate any exclusions. We actually clicked through the OIN agreement like any other licensee!
They have a lot of explications, but not excuse for for not funding GOL.

Quoting: F.Ultra
Quoting: razing32the CoC Linux added seems to value politics over code quality.
Please stop listening to the trolls. There is nothing in the CoC that says that you must accept code from people, all it dictates is the way you reply when you e.g reject a patch. There is no coup going on in the Kernel either, it's not the foundation that says that Linus is taking a sabbatical, it's Linus himself.
Thanks. Full ack on this.

Microsoft (monopoly) has damaged IT evolution as whole dramatically. There is nothing Microsoft can do to rewind the hands of time.
Therefore, no trust from me for Microsoft, never, whatever they'll do under this company name, and I consider myself as open minded in comparison to the "no tux no bux" fraction.
Ont thing is for sure: Microsoft will not make open source better than it has become. So please stay away, dear MS parasites.

Quoting: toorBut I don't really understand the effort that was put into it. Isn't Unity supposed to be kind of a one-push-button-port from the first place? Are there a lot of windows specific third parties in this game?
That's also my question. Unity game ported by Feral!?
Oviously the result must be a win as it is but why?

Thanks anyway Feral!

Broke again (thanks to Proton), but Feral has a leased line to my wallet.
Let's see how the game is.
