A Thought on What Holds Linux Gaming Back
30 Mar 2013 at 5:01 pm UTC

manjaro or cinnarch are probably the best bets.
cinnarch if you want out of box cinnamon
manjaro if you want xfce (because thats the most polished from their side)
chakra if you want kde

and pure Arch with your own tweaks if you are freak like me lol :D

Zoftilo Voice Chat

nice to see alternatives imo.
i myself using teamspeak3 mostly, cause i find its features the best (except somewhat higher cpu usage than mumble)
mumble for me has some nice features missing or i havent just found them. for example adjusting peoples volume levels (not global volume).

will keep eye on the Zoftilo Voice Chat... lets see what comes out of it

Legends of Aethereus an MMORPG in closed beta that's coming to Linux
13 Mar 2013 at 11:33 am UTC

its far from MMORPG
its more like small number of players on Co-Op Game
as MMORPG stands for Massively multiplayer online role-playing game

so it can be MORPG without Massively :D

nice game though, last time i tried there was beta v2
is that updated?
cause there were some nasty bugs before

Steams February stats are out, Linux rises again to over 2%

Champions of Regnum MMORPG released on Steam

i have had zero launcher crashes, started fine all the time. no game crashes also with max settings.
only problem is that it turns off the second monitor when going fullscreen. and when using windowed mode with 1920x1080 for example, then some of the games content is hidden behind the panels.
but modifying game.cfg to 1920x1000 and windowed makes it work without problems and can see the full content of the game.

Champions of Regnum MMORPG released on Steam

i have played it some time ago as well. i got turned off by the boring PvE grind.
never reached to RvR which seems to be a lot of fun.
but now i see that at level10 you have BattleZones(battlegrounds) to level up as well.
so i might give it another try, cause i really hate PvE in PvP orientated games.

prolly gonna do Linux Gaming Video soon as well.

6 Feb 2013 at 3:40 pm UTC

also by addint linux mint to the list is false.
cuz windows only list contained linux mint and that list didnt contain macosx

but ur list contains macosx so the linux mint precentage should be much smaller in there
