Quoting: pbJust find your local or EU-wide brand of Clevo laptops (e.g. Schenker in DE)

[edit2] https://www.tuxedocomputers.com/ [External Link] located in Germany seems to sell Clevos with Linux on board.
Tuxedo is a Schenker brand : )
Quoting: xaviSystem76, Entroware, Tuxedo... all of them lack of AMD cpu and graphic options on laptops.
Yes, one of my main issues with Tuxedo. I like my laptop, but the Intel graphics is, uh, not competitive and I always had issues with Nvidia's blob (maybe [likely?] better nowadays but I'm not willing to try it again).

Strategy game 'Predynastic Egypt' is now available on GOG with a Linux build

Quoting: Stupendous Manthat doesn't sound like a lot though.
True. To learn more about ancient Egypt you need to combine the key words in the game with Wikipedia [External Link].

The game has a dozen (or so) events with a short explaining paragraph - covering other tribes, religion and technologies. Don't know how accurate the info is, but it sounds plausible.

Quoting: GuestA Facebook icon in the main menu? No thanks.
Isn't this nowadays rather normal? Stellaris does the same (used as example as I'm playing it at this moment).

FB aside I think the game is too expensive, the replay value is rather low and it is imo not worth the 10 Euros (I got it yesterday for 5 bucks after playing the demo. Not a _bad_ game, but too linear and short. I expected more depth.)

A Linux version of 'The Colonists', a settlement building game should be due in a post-release update

Quoting: TiedemannI also see there's the Settlers thing with carriers between "flags" ^_^
I noticed this, too. The game seems to be generally based on Settlers 2 (best version, imho) with improvements - e.g. I like the resource meters that make it much easier to see an unbalanced economy.

Very interested in this one, as alternative to Widelands.

Space sim 'Helium Rain' has left Early Access, code is open source

It looks great and I like the setting. Time for a new computer, I fear...

And is it possible to support the devs without paying a Steam tax? Just when there are real alternatives to buy PCs without the MS tax.

Paradox have launched Stellaris on GOG today, also a beta available for multiplayer across stores

Quoting: 14Naked is a great first impression. :D
Better safe than sorry - the naked truth *can* be ugly. And thanks, while I like the sound of 'mega structures' I'll try it pure for the moment.

With me new to Paradox titles - are there any "must have" DLCs I should buy while it's cheapish on gog? Or is the naked Stellaris fine for getting an impression?

The RPG 'Pathfinder: Kingmaker' is out with critical bugs in the Linux version

Maybe too early to ask - but is it any fun? Skimming Steam reviews one theme is "the DM hates me" though this is "only" balancing. Mostly I'm intrigued by the RPG+city building/strategy aspect but this seems to be hard to do right - e.g. PoE's stronghold management felt (for me) always tacked on without really fitting with the rest of the game.
