Livestreaming on Linux? Here's an essential tip you need on getting follower alerts to show up
12 August 2016 at 9:36 pm UTC

I skimmed the video and couldn't figure out what it is still.

Q: Would this say popup a notification in Gnome when GOL Steaming goes live or sit in my Systray? or

B: Is it just to show a funding goal on the streamers or my screen?

The mechanics looks like they might have that old school platform feel to them where you could time things precisely in action packed situations.

Looks great

Seeing Rocket League on page one is still a kick in the balls...

Interesting... I recall almost buying it on the Steam Sale but the discount wasn't enough to get me to pull the trigger.

While I'm sure $20 is fair to the developers, I'm also a bit more choosie when it comes to indie games at that price point.

I wouldn't be surprised if Linux Gamers simply have purchased 100's of games and can't justify buying yet until either its on a good sale or they play through their catalog more.

DMPTL;

In the end, Linux is strengthened as a platform, 3 more games that were beloved - 3 more reasons why Steam Machines & Linux will have a draw.

Only thing for me is that I wish it was on steam, I would gladly accept the DRM & the cost $$$ in exchange for not having to maintain my game library.

The Signal From Tölva is the next game from Sir, You Are Being Hunted developers and Linux is likely

Damn more cool things to buy. My wallet is gonna be mad at me.

Linux desktop marketshare has grown for three consecutive months

I've converted 7 people so far. Elementary was the first stop, and the second stop was Arch - it helps to make a Install Guide listing software, utilities etc and things to do with a vanilla install.

Rolling release is so nice... I love it so much.

Stardew Valley now DRM free for Linux on GOG, we have a bunch of keys to give away!

Mesa patches greatly improve Bioshock Infinite performance for the RadeonSI AMD driver

These benefits seem like they'll hit Archlinux users first.

I know our kernels are fresh out of the oven and installing "mesa-git"/radeonsi is a yaourt away.

This is great news :)

Latest Steam Hardware Survey shows Linux has grown, by a tiny amount (updated)

I know Ubuntu is a "supported platform", but it honestly sounds like it has more trouble than Arch.

Occasionally I have to reset the libraries in steam when I switch between the blob and MESA to relink the libraries, but that's about it.

I'm amazed at how much trouble Ubuntu has really.

I tried installing SteamOS the other day in VFIO Kernel however and wasn't able to get the blob to run yet, shame because compartmentalizing my GPU for SteamOS and using Intel HD open drivers for professional desktop needs is a attractive idea.

So much time wasted I'm so jumping to RX 480 as soon as they come back in stock. This closed driver nonsense is a pain.
