Quoting: Avehicle7887Linux installer on GOG has been added

It still says it's only available for Microsoft Windows-based operating systems for me...

Quoting: JolltI would love to drive normal cars or even racing cars but on regular roads with scenery and regular transit rules.

Wait, what?

I wanna drive racing cars on regular roads, too... Gold Coast Indy here I come!

Quoting: JolltI just wish we had a driving car simulator too (not racing)

Do you not have a (Real World) car? Or do you just want to "explore" far off lands / "drive" cars you don't own?

Quoting: yokem55Fully maxed out config comes to $48,591.

Who needs a house? I'll take two.

I got a different figure (fully maxed-out with a one-year warranty, no accessories) - US$46,081... Or AU$65,261 for my fellow Aussies.

Anyone that's spending that sort of money on a computer for gaming definitely deserves to call themselves a "hardcore gamer"... And when I win the lotto, I'll buy one, just because I can.

Quoting: Purple Library GuyWhat the heck is that screen?!

Asking the real questions... Was wondering the same thing myself.

Samsung 49er?

Strangely, we don't seem to have that model on the Australian website... We do have a couple of similar models though, and boy are they expensive (I still want one though)!

Fun fact - the model number for most of their high-end and "wide" displays ends in "SEXXY":

Not sure if that was intentional or not, but I had a giggle...

This seems to be the closest we (Australians) have to that display above:
https://www.samsung.com/au/monitors/c49hg90/

It's similar, backing lacking certain features (such as USB Type-C), so the British link is probably a newer model of the same display that is not yet available in Australia.

So I'm curious - if the company is no more, who is getting the money from purchases (considering they're leaving the game in stores)?

Was that in reply to my post about there being nothing in the Australian store? Or were you just commenting in general?

Quoting: pbI think it's just another step closer to Linux(kernel)-based Windows. They'll keep porting stuff so the future inevitable switch is easier.

I doubt this will happen... Microsoft have invested an awful lot of time and money in the NT kernel.

More likely (though not by much!) is that Microsoft will buy something like Ubuntu, and then do a "commercial" version like Red Hat did way back in the day, whilst spinning-off a "community" version into a separate distro.

Nothing on the Australian store... And I'm not holding my breath, seeing as none of the major manufacturers sell laptops with Linux-based operating systems pre-installed (the single exception being Dell, who only sell one particular "XPS" laptop, only via telephone orders and only on a case-by-case basis).

I'll stick to ASUS, who provide semi-official support for Linux-based operating systems here in Australia (not with pre-installed operating systems, though)...

Quoting: MaximBThey had a great and very successful fighting game Skullgirls,
But instead of creating a sequel they created a new game none had asked for...and failed.
So sad. :(

This is the correct response.

Skullgirls was fantastic - and I'm not even a "fighting game" guy ("button masher" on those rare days when I do play them...)! But instead of making a sequel, they made some other game that was boring and unoriginal...

Quoting: EhvisYou'd think that Linux users, who have been on the receiving end of FUD, would be slightly more careful with what they say. Unfortunately not the first time this has been proven wrong.

So Noveau poor performance is not Nvidia fault? Facts != FUD.

No it's not. It's a consequence of NVIDIA keeping secrets

Bulldust - there is plenty of hardware out there - including niche hardware - that is just as "secret" as Nvidia's GPUs... Yet many of those, dare I say the vast majority, work just as well as they do under Microsoft Windows-based operating systems.

Yes, Nvidia being secretive about their GPUs doesn't help the situation... But it is a very small cog in a very large machine.
