Darwin Project (another Battle Royale on Linux).

A well received game from Scavengers Studio is a free to play Battle Royale one and thanks to Steam Play updates: it can now be played on Linux.

The first time you attempt to play, it may give you an error about shaders and quit before even loading the game. Click Play again and it then works fine, odd but not a big issue.

@jonne Research on gaming if i gather right?

The Black Mesa (a recreation of Half-Life) team have pushed out a new Linux beta.

To access this beta release, opt in to the "public-beta" on Steam; right click on the game / properties / beta tab.

It's Half Life, but better in almost every way imaginable. Even if you haven't played the original Half Life you'll enjoy this game, and if you have played the original then oh boy are you in for a treat.

@sean @xj9

"For years, coreboot has been struggling against Intel. Intel has been shown to be extremely uncooperative in general.

Many coreboot developers, and companies, have tried to get Intel to cooperate; namely, releasing source code for the firmware components.

Even Google, which sells millions of chromebooks (coreboot preinstalled) have been unable to persuade them."

So, we will see if the time has come for even something significant in means of amendment. Blob-problem is of Intel.

@technoslick Next year there will be Purism phone, Necuno Mobile and of course right now there is Sailfish OS from Jolla for the Sony Xperia devices :linux:
