AMD drivers aren't exactly the best in linux. Their "legacy" support (lets say supporting old series) sucks; a month ago someone came here asking for help to run Team Fortress 2 natively and he/she couldn't because god knows what AMD did with the openGL implementation of their drivers. Most...

Hey guys, I haven't forgotten about this thread. I've been fairly busy these days, my semester is almost over and finals are but a few days from now. I'll be mentioning a few topics. Linux is a kernel, a piece of software that interacts with the hardware and providing the resources...

As I was exercising today I've come to wonder what do new linux users think WINE is and what sort of doubts do they have. This is mostly related to a request by booman to create a basic introduction to WINE. I should start by saying that in no way GNU/Linux is Windows in the sense that users...

FF14 doesn't use QT5, it would be nice though. My guide installs IE8, I even tied with WINE Staging. Flickering is introduced even if you use GL_THREADED_OPtimizations. You gotta use the patches NVIDIA people offered to stop the flickering. Like I said before, small patches works great. Huge...

I got a little bit of bad news and good news. Bad news You need to download/update FFXIV from a virtualbox. good news: It can be remedied with virtual box. And the steps are a tiny little bit longer. I know, I know. It's a bit of a hassle all to get it working. Sadly, not even the latest...

ALright, just a note that if FFXIV doesn't download with WINE (small patches do, but when it comes to HUGE patches WINE gets stuck) You will have to use virtual box to keep your game updated. Note that for small patches (<300MB) you don't have to use it. Since you are downloading it...

I'll see if I can make something up. Currently been busy with life and now's not the best time to be writing content for me.

I consider the word container the closest thing to describe it. I just adopted bottle because it's widely known. PoL introduction of the term "virtual drive" is more confusing as new users might think of it as just a typical "storage" folder for windows applications. But well, it's all...

Hey Burger, Look at this screenshot should give you a clear idea on how to put -no-dwrite Before this: Please ensure that you have exported the WINEPREFIX environment variable and WINEARCH. I'm going to assume that you have followed the guide BEFORE STEP 3. Which means that by now you...

No, suse still has stable which is semi-rolling. Tumbleweed is just the next version of the stable version being worked on.

Actually I just read that you can install NVIDIA drivers from the 13.2 repos to Tumbleweed. You still use YaST for software installation. I use zypper (command line) because YaST is a tad slow. Tumbleweed is for more advanced users, it explicit say so in the wiki page they have. Imho, people...

Now's the best time to jump back to openSUSE Tumbleweed (openSUSE factory and openSUSE Tumbleweed got merged, now the new rolling release remains)! I did a super tiny quick review on it a few days ago on my blog too. By far one of the best KDE experiences ever. Zypper is (forever be?) the...

Well, just some ideas. I also thought of using it for VNC as well as these: - Cross-compiling your code in ARM devices, pretty neat if you are a programmer. I didn't think about it until a reddit user said he bought an ARM device like Pi to port his code. - Media center. Honestly this IS the...

Hey! Is anyone playing Heroes of the Storm? I found it incredibly fun and would love to party up with other linux (or windows) users too! I just started today so don't expect me to know all the details, haha. Heroes of the Storm is a MOBA currently being developed by Blizzard.

Congrats! I'm looking forward to picking an ODROID-C1 myself. Just a note of caution, you might end up compiling packages with Slackware, and compilation time is so... dreadfully slow! Oh, since you are an Arch user there's also Arch Linux ARM.

Hey, I don't know if the game installs in Linux, worry not I have another plan if it doesn't. If you have already downloaded FFXIV please let me know so I get an idea on what am working with here. I need to know these things 1) Which distribution are you using? 2) Do you have Steam...

No, I don't have the source code of their client. Think of it as reverse engineering. I just know how their application works.

Last screenshot. I was able to match the total content-length to the one GG Client gets. It took me a while, I won't work on it until I get word from GG. I only have one last challenge and most of it is regarding how to treat the downloading stream. I wish I could get some help in this...

With Pavucontrol you can control the flow of where the audio goes to. In this case an Output Device. If it "doesn't work" it's highly likely you left the ALSA-Plug-in of wine-preloader not assigned to your speakers. As for wireless not working, I'm out of ideas. Sorry. I really need to have a...

The purpose of this client is that it'll be linux native, versus using the Windows one.
