AMD Zen looks like it will release at CES in January 2017
12 Oct 2016 at 9:27 am UTC

I too would like to see AMD more competitive as it benefits everyone.

I've always bought AMD CPUs right up until my Phenom II X4 965BE died not so long ago. I always found Intel to be too expensive and would buy something I thought was more value for money. I decided to treat myself to an i7-4790k this time though and it's been fantastic. And I'll be using it until it packs up, no matter how good the new AMD CPUs are! When the time does come to upgrade, let's hope the competition is vibrant.

Slime Rancher updated, hits 300K sales and I asked the developer about their Linux support

This is one I've definitely got my eye on... but just to reiterate many others' point - not until a full release.

Changes to our Survey are coming, hopefully to make it easier and better

Thanks for moving away from Google, I have all Google JS blacklisted as default.

Quoting: DVS999I think this is fraught with problems. You will have so many variations of CPU and GPU Architectures entered by Users as deem the data meaningless....
If this was to be the case then certain profile selections could always be made from a survey friendly pre-configured drop down list.

Edit: Having now visited my profile for investigation I see this is indeed already the case! :)

Ubuntu 16.04 dropping the AMD Catalyst/fglrx driver

Quoting: ripperAs long as I have access to Windows in dual-boot, I'd never pick Nvidia. Nvidia driver is too much pain overall (not to mention that it's also the most aggressive, unlikeable, and opensource unfriendly company out there)
It's lucky you have Microsoft to rescue you :whistle:

p.s. I also don't understand the issues people are having with the NVidia driver, it's an absolute doddle to install (repo and compile) in Arch, as it must be in other distros.

Humble Indie Bundle 16 launches, great selection with Sunless Sea now officially on Linux

Unusually I didn't have a single game in this bundle! Bought it for Trine 3 and Never Alone specifically but always nice to bolster the number of games I'll never manage to get around to playing :huh:

Steam Client Beta updated, fixes issues with lots of games on newer distributions

"Updated ALSA libraries in the Steam Runtime to prevent compatibility issues with newer distributions" - this fixed the only audio issue I had, with no sound whatsoever in GRID Autosport. I did have a workaround but this is obviously the best solution.

Our Linux & SteamOS gamer survey results for January 2016

Perhaps the "Steam Machine" section could have an option regarding the Steam Link? I just got one and it's fantastic. Not just for games but also streaming Netflix/Amazon Prime/movies/desktop etc.

So I've gone from being on the fence regarding a Steam Machine to definitely not getting/building one (at the moment anyway) as the Link fulfills my needs.

Stainless Games announce another Carmageddon game, Linux & Mac gamers not happy

I backed this. I backed a few back then but never again. I'll be dropping an email to Kickstarter. I'm very patient but this is just taking the piss.
