i use Arch also, and testing repos, never had issues with nvidia drivers :)
thatswhy i asked.. when 4.14 hit the testing nvidia driver modules were also compiled without issues.

edit: i dont install from nvidias website, just arch packaged drivers, which have patches for things like those.

Quoting: oldgaroDone. Got a 580 this weekend after new Kernel update broke for the 20th time NVIDIA driver.....FCKU NVIDIA!

As good as this box sounds, it doesn't really help linux gaming in any way. Its a retro gaming box, which we have plenty with the use of RPI or similar. Yeah its out of box experience, but it wont run anything more demanding. While small indie/retro games can be super addictive and fun, they unfortunately wont grow the linux marketshare much at all. We need a "Console" that has those top 40-50 Most played games in Steam, or just linux ports from those games which don't run like crap compared to other operating systems.

Anyway i like the idea of Ataribox, but i dont have really high hopes for this. Atari is no more. Its just a name that got aquired. They havent made anything fantastic lately, just half finished junk after half finished junk. Will see how it turns out though.

yeah those were just calculations from the numbers above.
there's always variety. there might be more linux users online in different times also. And yeah linux users are more likely to not close their PC :) so steam is running all the time.

Anyway i think those numbers are quite good. Obviously not good enough for bigger publishers.

Empyrion, a much better game IMO - even if still rather rough around the edges - allows you to achieve something much quicker with fewer people and is still very much a survival game where you have to be careful.
Oh, and you need to eat maybe two pieces of bread and a salami per day.

Empyrion is not even available for linux, unless i'm missing something.
Theres hope it will be at some point though, afaik.

Quoting: scaineYeah, single player was a blow, but this is still insta-buy for me. Love the style and I'm a big sand-box fan. Plus, all the co-op mode supporting games I own, I usually end up playing them single-player anyway (hello FortressCraft Evolved!)...

I really hope this ends like a cross between FCE and ARK, which are for me the most played games.
FCE starts where ARK stopped: automation of tedious tasks.
I've heard there also is some story to ARK, and if planet nomads also gets a story line, I am all for it.
My third favorite is planet explorers BTW.
The only thing is: when do I work/sleep/eat?
Hmmm, maybe planet explorers would work on my gpd win (with ubuntu 17.10).

what is FCE?

i will try it out probably but keeping it singleplayer only doesnt really work for games like these. at least co-op would be nice where you can invite your friend into your world to explore stuff togheter.

Quoting: fagnerlnI was interested in buy a steering wheel but it split in two types: expensive and garbage.

Some days ago I thought about create one (nothing serious), but I've no idea how to start and now this post came from heaven.

Thanks

theres also medium ones like Logitech Driving Force GT, which you can get around 60-90€ used or 140€ new.
