Quoting: pbJust find your local or EU-wide brand of Clevo laptops (e.g. Schenker in DE)Tuxedo is a Schenker brand : )
[edit2] https://www.tuxedocomputers.com/ [External Link] located in Germany seems to sell Clevos with Linux on board.
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).

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.

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.)

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).

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

Very interested in this one, as alternative to Widelands.

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.

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.

Quoting: 14Naked is a great first impression. :DBetter 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.
