Strange, I didn't remember ppa-purge do this with me. What distro are you using and what PPA are you trying to remove?

Quoting: paasistiIt seems I got burned (Cinnamon complains that it's running without video hardware acceleration with this ppa) so I tried this. After the first phase it lists out as WILL BE REMOVED nearly every component there is and prompts for "Yes, I know what I'm doing". I did this once, and it wrecked my system. If I type anything else, it takes me to another list with still plenty of stuff being removed (including libs from vlc, skype, steam..). What should I do here? I don't want to reinstall my system like I had to do last time..

For the people who are new to this PPA thing, in the case something go wrong, to switch between PPAs or if you just want to go back to the stock packages, you can uninstall a PPA installing the package "ppa-purge":
Then, you can uninstall a PPA with:
sudo apt install ppa-purge
Then, you can uninstall a PPA with:
sudo ppa-purge nameofppa

I was about to buy the game since it is on sale, but a LOT of people are having trouble with saves. I once lost 45 hours in Batman AC because of a such bug, so I'm not touching this until the fix this problem.

It is broken for me. Installed it from their repo and nothing. Complains about errors in some files. Tried download the source and run it as told by their page, same thing. Dependencies are installed, obviously.
Just a heads up 'Firewatch' is currently rather broken on Linux

I cannot even pass the start screen, the game freezes. Using the radeonsi driver in a RX 470.
Silence from Daedalic Entertainment is an absolutely beautiful story-rich adventure game, my thoughts on it

Witch engine are they using? Looks like it lacks advanced lighting effects.
The latest Steam Client Beta should fix downloads and updates on Linux

For some time now I'm having a problem with Big Picture overlay when playing a game. After pressing the Steam button on a Steam Controller, the overlay only covers 2/3 of the screen. Anybody having the same issue? I'm using the radeonsi driver.

It is about 4 months after a new release. So Ubuntu 16.04 will get 16.10 graphics stack in February.

If you want bleeding edge stuff, install Padoka's PPA:
https://launchpad.net/~paulo-miguel-dias/+archive/ubuntu/mesa
He updates once or twice a week, and you get all the packages needed. Oibaf updates daily (I find annoying) and he didn't updates Ubuntu LLVM stuff, witch is important, performance wise, to AMD cards.
If a update screw up things, you can roll back using "sudo ppa-purge ppa:paulo-miguel-dias/mesa"

Quoting: tuxintuxedoUbuntu LTS versions offer kernel and Mesa updates a few months after a new distribution. For 16.04 this means kernel 4.8 and Mesa 12 early next year. You can also use ppa-s, like oibaf's one, which have more bleeding edge Mesa versions.

Quoting: veccherjust a noob question: how to update mesa drivers? i need to recompile kernel or something like this or it's kinda automatic in updates like the ones from ubuntu update center.
