A 'none' option would be great for WM-only users. :)

I think it's a case of the right hand not knowing what the left is doing. You'd think that the person behind the twitter account would check their information before outright denying something though!

I like that you're not scripting it. That way people have the freedom to withhold information if they desire (for whatever reason).

Also wow, when you split the distros up, Arch is only just behind Ubuntu! (at least, at the moment!)

The graphs look cool. Good work, Liam!

Rocket League is still coming to Linux, but there is no release date

Another developer to avoid in the future, methinks. If I didn't get the game free with my Steam controller, I'd definitely not be buying it after this charade.

There is now an open source driver and GTK3 based UI for interacting with the Steam Controller

Quoting: LinasIn a simple analogy, GTK2 is like HTML4 and GTK3 is like HTML5.

The Gtk2 analogy works, but the Gtk3 one would only make sense if, every six months there was a new HTML5 standard, the old ones stopped working, and w3.org was the only website updated to use the new one. :P

Quoting: liamdawe
Quoting: WorMzyWould be better if it was GTK2, but oh well, maybe somebody will port it.
Yeah nothing like staying in the past :P

Out of interest, why?

Because gtk3 is a broken pile of crap, and I refuse to have it on my system. ;)

First Steps with OpenVR and the Vive on Linux

Quoting: Eike
Quoting: Mountain ManI'm still of the opinion that this whole VR craze is going to be another short-lived novelty like 3D televisions and motion controls (other than the Nintendo Wii) once people realize that it doesn't meaningfully enhance their gaming experience. Professional applications, yes, but entertainment? I don't see it.

I'm still to hear this opinion by someone who tried a real VR device. Did you?

For the record, I have tried a couple of VR demos (not including "cardboard" ), and I share the same opinion as Mountain Man. It's an interesting experience, and very immersive, but it isn't something I would pay X hundred pounds for, and I can't see that many games a) supporting it, or b) being particularly enjoyable while using it for more than say 20 minutes.
