The Humble Conquer COVID-19 Bundle is live with lots of Linux games and all going to charity

Quoting: orochi_kyoYou arent some sort of "freedom fighters" as you see yourself, but just a vocal minority of people looking just for their own good...

The world is facing something really big right now, your priorities is to have a copy of a game in your hard disk.

Ironic, considering us Linux users are all about freedom.

It is more important than ever that we resist vendor lock-in and DRM, and fight the good fight in favor of consumer rights, pandemic or no.

Its a shame that so many of these games are locked behind Steam, with no DRM-free options.

RimWorld's Royalty expansion a 'great success' - more is coming to the game and now on GOG

Few games have justified their price for me as well as RimWorld. Crazy good base game, good DLC, and endless modding. Easily worth the asking price.

It's basically the Skyrim of tactical games.

I missed Linux Gaming News Punch. I was afraid that it met a premature demise. Glad I was mistaken!

Excellent episode as usual.

Is this game coming to DRM-free stores like GOG?

I'm tempted to pick this up.

Linux Mint doing a small-form-factor MintBox 3, they don't sound too happy about Snaps

Quoting: TheSHEEEPSnap only works on Ubuntu?
Didn't even know that... rather weird and seems strangely against the concept.

That is definitely not the case, though snaps work best on Ubuntu. I can use them just fine on Debian, and there are instructions to use them on other distros. For example, Linux Mint.

Touching on topics like being locked into a single store

Snaps are usable without the Canonical snapcraft.io storefront, I thought. Or is that a Flatpak only thing? Because I remember Alan Pope making a big deal about it.
