    Lenovo Thinkpad E460 - Linux Mint 17.3

    May I suggest moving to a distribution like OpenSUSE Leap? Linux Mint is pretty much based on 14.04 and really old packages. Their KDE is very polished, I have no doubt that their GNOME 3 may be polished as well. (It's not like Fedora *cough* they have GNOME 3 polished but KDE is left behind...

    Just picked up Dark Souls

    Oh, that you shouldn't worry about! The game saves every time you kill an enemy (any enemy, and for a good reason, haha). It will save though, I've never _explicitly_ saved the game though.

    Just picked up Dark Souls

    Prepare to die, indeed... it's one hell of a challenging game.

    Thank you, Ian Murdock

    To those who don't know Ian Murdock has passed away at the age of 42, there hasn't been details on his sudden death, but there have been rumor that he was involved in some police brutality event... remember, all rumors, nothing conclusive at all. But I don't want to remember Ian Murdock for...

    Need advice Distro needed, no gaming needed.

    I think you'll probably like Cinnamon better as it has a very familiar look akin to Windows XP, Windows 7 in general. Granted I love KDE myself; thing is that KDE 4 is no longer supported as they are all moving to Plasma (KDE 5), my point is that KDE 4 has some glaring issues when it comes to...

    Need advice Distro needed, no gaming needed.

    I can only remember two of them... one of them being highly toxic towards... any person starting *cough* Gentoo *cough* (talking back in 2004+). Then there's Slackware Linux that was pure command line installation, as far as I know finally got the very intuitive command line based installer. I...

    Why choosing Mint over (*)Ubuntu

    Probably unrelated: You know I gotta agree with you booman. Yesterday I spent fiddling with two distributions that I'm looking forward, Linux Mint with Cinnamon is complete, couldn't find anything missing out besides the dev tools I use which obviously won't be installed. Then I checked...

    Why choosing Mint over (*)Ubuntu

    Hmm.... not exactly, but then again you have to remember Ubuntu did not include the option to install audio support packages and whatever mint offers years ago. Mint took what made Ubuntu great and made it more straightforward and easy to use. Linux Mint created a name itself years ago and now...

    Why choosing Mint over (*)Ubuntu

    Mint takes care a lot of dreadful initial installation packages(flash, java, mp3, video support which can be tedious if you don't know which packages to pull, include fonts that cover modern languages (Korean, chinese, japanese, etc etc. These are things that neither distributions like Debian or...

    What's new in linux gaming?

    Oh.... they finally decided to do something about The Witcher 3, they sure took a while to decide. Alien Isolation looks pretty cool! I've been meaning to play Shadow of Mordor but... part of me doesn't want to get any more games I have to finish my Steam backlog first, and I'm working on it...

    What's new in linux gaming?

    Running Origin on WINE is a pain.... I remember because I couldn't get it to run correctly, and sometimes it would get stuck downloading things. Which is amusing because Origin is written in C++/Qt and Qt as we know works on linux... but... due to EA not covering linux games yet they haven't...

    What's new in linux gaming?

    Hey guys, Its been a while. I hope everything's been peachy on your end. I have more or less abstracted myself from communities and stuff like that, and I'm doing more development and studying hard because this guy right here writing right now only has 4 courses left to finish his bachelor's...

    Installing Guild Wars 2

    Glad to hear! Sorry for the super long reply! I hope you are enjoying the new content in GW2 as well. As for the prefix? It's WINE with CSMT straight from Stefan Dösinger's git (the person working on CSMT). I also manually added a patch to fix a mouse wall bug which would prevent you from...

    Get ready to shit yourselves: The future of linux compatibility.

    Take a look at gallium nine... less jumping through hoops You would also need WINE with gallium nine support and use mesa drivers I believe No windows required, pure libre. Granted, I haven't used it myself... too lazy to tinker with it. I got tired of distro hopping and tinkering. :(...

    Guild Wars 2 Guide

    Yep! It's pretty big, Final Fantasy XIV is also around that size, and I think The Elders Scrolls Online too. It's pretty insane yet seem to be what we'll be expecting in the future... I thought you would be playing it with the family, haha. Really recommend it. :]

    Need advice Distro needed, no gaming needed.

    I should mention that you can actually use more than 4GB in 32bit environment, all you need to do is use -pae kernel. Random tutorial on how to enable it. However... I don't want to complicate things further for cloasters, but if he goes the pae road I'll be happy to help. (although there's not...

    Installing Guild Wars 2

    Ah ha! I knew I uploaded it to my Dropbox a year ago, wasn't sure it was still there. If you look through my post history at some point you'll see me talking about guild wars 2 setup. (I can't give instructions right now, gtg) Here's the link...

    Installing Guild Wars 2

    GW2 is known to be CPU-bound and can be pretty heavy... if you are still on dual core there's a high chance you need to upgrade. As for the changes I did I was using the latest CMST patches from Stefan's github and I also added a patch to solve the mouse problem. Remember to enable CSMT in...
