I'm guessing it's a Clevo Aero Lite 14. Looks nice in the pictures.

Well, it stinks that Nightdive backed out of their promise, but I had a lot of fun with the game last year using Proton. Looks like some updates have dropped, so I think I'll pick it up again.

Kernel 6.4.0 ought to be enough for anybody.

Get the incredible Brigador: Up-Armored Deluxe free on GOG until December 25

Quoting: Redface
Quoting: notinuseStrange, when I click on the Gog page banner, it forwards to the "On sale" game page. If I search for Brigador, I get a result of $8.99. I must be doing something wrong, although I've had no problem in the past with free Gog games.

I clicked on the countdown too first.

You have to scroll down on the main page then there is a link to claim Brigador.

Doh! Thank you.

That's disappointing, but I've been using Proton to play BL2 for a while. It was the only way I could play co-op with my son, who is a Win-only gamer.

Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoBorderlands 3 FREE WEEKEND..... On my Windows 10 machine, because via PROTON doesn't work properly yet.
I haven't played BL3 since April, but I have about 57 hours into it, all played using Proton. I wonder if there was a code regression.

NVIDIA driver 440.59 released for Linux
9 February 2020 at 5:31 pm UTC

Just updated the video driver from 440.48.02 to 440.59 on Ubuntu 18.04 with kernel 5.3.0-28. I can no longer control the video card fans using GreenWithEnvy(GWE). I could previously, and cool bits is still set. Anyone have any suggestions?

UPDATE: Well this is embarrassing. I checked the GWE support site, and evidently I need to run "flatpack update" after exiting GWE. I did this and GWE is running ok. I'll leave this here in case someone else has the same problem.
