So i could just buy a PS4 and have done with it i guess but i so wanted to support gaming on linux but then again Gnome/Unity isnt nice, the whole desktop takes 1.5gb ram usage compared to 250 on xfce (100+ mb just for official GPU drivers!) also there is stealth adverts and as much as i admire the focus of canonical I cant help but feel they are closing the open with their approach the final thing is that ubuntu may be the answer that they have noticed and worked around some of the official drivers niggles. It sucks so much and i dont want windows anymore that i will have to sell my trusty AMD card and buy an Nvidia instead $$$$ 2D desktop = opensource 3D applications = official this is true as some 3D steam games like counter strike run very well. AMD official drivers are with 3D as the opensource are with 2D (90% of games) are great (not brilliant). this is true the opensource ones work fine.Ģ. AMD official drivers are just terrible on the desktop and with 2D. MATE (haven't tried but im sure its the same)Īll close, yet they didn't close a few months ago? same shit different update.ġ. I have also experienced the same with mint KDE and recently i installed OpenSuse which has the awful gnome interface ((its awful because i need widgets on my taskbar and proper minimize and close buttons + the menu may look flashy but Synapse is better for finding things and docky is nicer as a launcher)) and again it automatically closes steam when clicking through the store. Yes i have mint 14 xfce and proprietary drivers for AMD. I´ve never tried Desura though so I would not know how it works. One thing about Steam is that they only support Ubuntu 12.04 and 12.10 with Unity, Gnome or KDE. Right now I´m on Ubuntu 13.04 Gnome and everything works fine, although I hate stupid Gnome. ![]() ![]() Tried LM 15 with both Cinnamon and MATE, but then I got the same problem as you have. LM 14 XFCE used to work a few months for me, but then suddenly Steam would not work anymore. I assume you are using LM 14 XCFE, is that correct? Do you use propritery drivers for your AMD GPU? I have noticed differences amongst different DE´s and distros. Most of the desura games advertised for linux dont work that i have tried, even after 32bit libs, they simply dont launch.Ĭould it be xfce display manager is largely incompatible? if so how is it different from ubuntus? I seem to have had most of the bug / issues i guess thats what you get by running an amd card and xfce rather than ubuntu and an nvidia or intel gpu though.

These oxps can take the form of ships, equipment, sounds, visual effects, etc., built by players of the game, and then uploaded to Box, from which you can retrieve the ship, or other types of oxps, and install them into your game. One of the neat things about the game is what are called Oolite Expansion Packages, or oxps, for short. All ships are given a bounty status, zero being an honest, non-offensive trader, and the bounty can go up quite drastically from there, depending on the level of offense. It is even possible for the player to become a pirate, if one so chooses, but by doing so you risk being pursued, and fired upon, and destroyed by the GalCops, or bounty hunters. You have weapons also, but very weak at first, and need upgrading as your finances allow. They're goal is to destroy your ship, and then scoop up any cargo you are carrying. Others are in the "Illegal" catagory, and are either "Offenders", or "Fugitives", though most Ooliters refer to both as simply pirates. Some are traders, like yourself, with either a lot of armament, and shields, or just on the basic side. The exciting part involves legality standings of other, non-player, ships. There is also where you can get ship upgrades, or even whole new ships, but they cost a good chunk of credits, so you end up trading a lot at first. The ship is very basic, and you only have a few credits to start, but the goal is to fly through Witchspace between star systems, dock at the System Stations that orbit the main planets, and there you can sell, and purchase items. You can change your name at your first "Save Game" if you wish. You start out as a trader pilot, flying what they call the "Cobra MkIII", which is a middle of the line ship, and your name is Commander Jameson. The greater your rating, the more difficult it gets. You start out with very little, and are given the chance to build yourself up to a higher level. No one seems to have mentioned the game Oolite. ![]()
