    Microsoft Porting Visual C++ to Linux

    Yes, cause apparently they are not done. So strange hearing that Microsoft is paying their developers to port their product to a free Operating System that is competitive. If anything, developers that make Linux games would be able to use Visual C for their games.

    Microsoft Porting Visual C++ to Linux

    I'm sure Gizmo can explain it in detail for us... It might affect gaming in Wine a bit because we have to use overrides for Visual C all the time: vcrun2005 vcrun2008 vbrun6 vcrun2010 vcrun2012 vcrun2013 Then again, since we play Windows games in Wine, it might not make a difference at all...

    Definitely sounds like your kind of game! Puzzles and assembly, definitely your style. I actually liked factorio, even thought its a lot of repetitive building and micro-managing... it was still kinda fun.

    Mint 18.1 and Video Drivers

    I'm pretty sure my Athlon II doe not have integrated GPU Its using the CPU for processing graphics. Strange that I've never experienced this before and I have 6 computer with Mint 18 installed, GeForce GPU's and no problems. Maybe its related to the BIOS and the SSD drive?
