RUINER officially released for Linux on Steam, coming to GOG soon
17 April 2018 at 9:08 pm UTC

I'm using Nvidia, here's the terminal output when I run Ruiner.sh directly (I have to do it with having Steam closed, because otherwise the output gets terminated once the game is launched).

Quoting: drlamb
Quoting: MasterSleort40 - 60fps@4K with mesa 18

I can also confirm MESA works great as I got 65-120fps at 3440x1440P on my Vega FE last I tried (on Mesa 17.3 - come on Solus!).
I'm using Solus as well, and the cutscenes don't work for me, here's how it looks:

Do you have any ideas how to make it work? Am I missing some dependencies or sth?

RUINER is now in Beta for Linux, it's also an early unlock in the new Humble Monthly
10 April 2018 at 9:40 pm UTC

I picked up the humble monthly, I've been eyeing RUINER ever since the 1st trailer came out, and KSP has been on my radar for quite some time as well, so it was a no-brainer.https://discordapp.com/channels/277857463384932353/413881848763252740

Quoting: GuestA tutorial for installing DXVK on Lutris would be great. I've tried it but im dumb.
The person who wrote the DXVK scripts for lutris has a tutorial showing how to install it in any wineprefix: View video on youtube.com
Well, since this wine version, as it already comes with bundled Vulkan, there's no need to install the Vulkan SDK / run installvulkan.sh from dxvk-tools.

Now only the basic steps are needed:cd /your/dxvk/directory/bin
WINEPREFIX=/your/wineprefix bash setup_dxvk.sh


For most games 64bit dxvk is needed I think, though some require 32bit - eg Assasins Creed IV.

The lastest nightlies can be downloaded from here.

Awesomenauts, the side-scrolling MOBA is going free to play next month

Cool, I've wanted to check it out for a long time - now I'll have a chance to do so for free.

Another weekly look at some good Linux gaming deals going on right now

Why not just directly buy Serious Sam Fusion, which already has 1st and 2nd encounter included, and there will be more content. It also has a Linux version, so you will definitely be registered as a Linux purchase. It's on sale as well, costing 1.5 euro.

Canonical drop the Unity desktop environment for Ubuntu favour of going back to GNOME
7 April 2017 at 4:29 pm UTC Likes: 2

Well, this news was unexpected.

I wasn't a huge fun of Unity, but it had some nifty features, like HUD or Global Menus - maybe they'll find a way to make them work in GNOME 3 now.

I'm really disappointed that they dropped the whole convergence idea. Unfortunately, I can't say that it was unexpected as Canonical has a long history of picking up and dropping projects frivolously, and I had a bad feeling they'd drop phones as well...

I was really looking forward to owning an Ubuntu phone as well - Android really needs a strong competitor, preferably a Free (as in freedom) contender (personally I hope Replicant OS picks up some steam one day).

It's really odd to me that they're dropping it now, when Google already started implementing this concept in practice (eg the new multitasking capabilities in nougat) and most likely will be moving towards convergence.

Can't they rebase the whole Ubuntu phone on top of GNOME 3 and Wayland ? That'd be awesome, but unlikely to happen.

QuoteQuestion: Is there any interest in me doing a separate site to cover general Linux news?

Personally, I'm really interested in a good site like this. Gamingonlinux is a real quality blog, so a great general Linux news blog would be welcome.

As long as it doesn't interfrere with running gamingonlinux, I'm all for it.

Just be sure to post an article about it, once it comes out, so we can check it out.
