It was six years ago today that Steam announced that they were working on a beta client for Linux. The beta was limited to only a little over 60,000, though later on in the month they would invite another 5,000, and I was among one of those that was honored …
I worked on and rendered another video using the Linux version of Shotcut today. I don’t know what it is, but to me the Linux version performs better for me than the Windows version, which itself isn’t bad by any means, but to me it seemed even snappier under Linux. …
We had a surprise heatwave today, too hot for me to even want to take a nap. I ended up taking my laptop outside and play tested Prey on my Linux install, and surprisingly it works quite decently. Speaking of Linux gaming I finished my first Linux related video. I’m …
After beating my head against the wall some more I figured out why my NVidia drivers were installing incorrectly. Disabling UEFI in BIOS seemed to do the trick, and hey! Suddenly I could install the latest graphics drivers via driver manager (with the proper PPA added)!. I now have Steam …
