    Any C programmers wander these lands?

    Not sure how interested you are in learning arm assembly but this is a pretty good intro https://azeria-labs.com/writing-arm-assembly-part-1/ She also has a easy to follow guide on setting up qemu or virtualbox as a lab env :)

    Cloudready

    I had it running in virtualbox in 2016 to test out some stuff in chromiumos & it seemed to be stable. I also put it on a chromebook c710 with coreboot for a weekend & it broke on installing a OS update. I didn't really use it for any extended amount of time as a desktop os tho. It also stopped...

Also there are posts on deals sites with screenshots showing cdkeys path of fire includes heart of thorns. I pre-ordered Guildwars 2 when it...

    Rebel Galaxy Outlaw

    The game seems ok, only played it for a few hours so far. Don't like how they use scanlines on different things like the comms screen or the pause menu, the controller reference text in the pause menu is barely readable... Also the default controls seem a bit weird (but I think you can...

    List of good competitive games on PC?

    Have u tried Magic The Gathering Arena? I was playing Gwent before the revamp (didn't really like the way the game was going towards the end of the 'beta' , both with the invite tournaments & the balance of the game) Then the revamp ( v1.0?? :confused: ) came out and it seemed even worse than...

    19.2.1 ignoring fan curve? Installed 19.2.1 to try last night (really only because of Apex Legends) Started the game & it crashed after a few mins Tried again and crashed to desktop again after landing & killing someone So I thought I'd look at monitoring tools to check temperatures, the gpu...

    Windows based python dev thinking switching to Linux

    I use a tiling wm for development work, find it faster & easier to work with than the mini game of moving windows around.

    The AMD Driver Thread

    I just went back to 18.12.2 & every windows startup I get a notification that appears twice saying there are new updates in the software it says: Currently Installed: 18.12.2 New Recommended: 18.12.2 New Optional: 18.12.3 I clicked on express upgrade of 18.12.2 to see if the notification stops...

    The AMD Driver Thread

    Not sure if anyone has noticed this. Just installed 18.12.3 (after doing clean uninstall of 18.12.1) & it's notifying me there's a new update available. Apparently I should update to 18.12.2 but I have 18.12.3 installed?! Are AMD drivers really this bad?? or are they having a bad month??

    Elite Dangerous or X4: Foundations

    Completely different style of game, one is fly your own ship + multiplayer and other is fly a ship while trying to micromanage a fleet of ships doing trading, fighting & everything else. At the moment, out of the two I would pick Elite Dangerous. I personally bought X4 which made me want to...

    The AMD Driver Thread

    I had an error on trying to update/install of 18.12.2, it then prompted me to reboot So I ran the installer again after reboot, rebooted again as prompted :D Went into wattman to check the fan curve & if I even touch the fan curve it ignores the Zero RPM option :confused: (even on auto) Fan...

    X4 Foundations

    Liking this game so far, such a steep learning curve :D (even tho I remember playing X3) Seems like the developers are actually interested in improving the game looking at how quickly patches are coming out :) Also maybe of interest: interview with ‎Bernd, CEO of Egosoft on sgj podcast Quite...

    X4 Foundations

    Game looks pretty good, especially with it having elements from X3 :D I think I will wait to see how it goes as I only have a 2500k @ 4.8Ghz at the moment

    Steam Play - Play Windows games via Steam on Linux

    Someone has made a compatibility tracker site where people can report how well certain games run using steam play. https://spcr.netlify.com/ - Steam Play Compatibility Reports Looks pretty good & could be a good starting point if you are curious about specific games. It looks like most games...

    Steam Play - Play Windows games via Steam on Linux

    Until they run into a problem maybe ... I think a bigger issue is will their favourite game be supported. When they get a problem who do they contact? If you are depending on community driven technologies to run games, who does the support? Also there are a lot of other issues with using wine...

    Steam Play - Play Windows games via Steam on Linux

    This seems like an ok idea but as others have said it will probably mean developers will have an excuse to not put any time into developing linux native games. Games developers might even use/re-purpose the tech to release non-native games across platforms like they did with cider (bundled...
