    Where should someone new to the Legend of Zelda franchise start?

    I don't know much about the Zelda franchise either. Since I was in high school I've heard people rave about Zelda 64 I have even tested it in Linux with an emulator. Maybe that is a good place to start? You can also read up on their wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Legend_of_Zelda...

    Wacom Drivers and Broken Xorg

    One strange symptom I noticed this morning is, when I brought my Mint 18 out of sleep and entered my password, it went right back to sleep. Tried it again and still went back to sleep. I had to restart the entire computer. Where could I look for sleep settings to see if there are some strange...

    Wacom Drivers and Broken Xorg

    I read the same thing myself. The Intuos Art is probably a newer model, so I'll have to wait or upgrade the Kernel. Mint Updater does show new kernels available, so I am able to update when I want to. Thanks for the tips, I'll definitely install the recommended packages, reboot and then plug...

    Wacom Drivers and Broken Xorg

    I got a Wacom Intuos art tablet for Christmas. I finally pulled it out and tried it in Linux. I knew that if it didn't work, there are some drivers out there that will. Plugged it in and nothing... Ok, well lets search Package Installer... I found libwacom 0.8 drivers that are already...

    The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Guide

    Agreed, Nvidia drivers have been great for me. Honestly, who knew a GeForce 550 Ti would run Shadow of Mordor in Linux?

    Anything new in libre software while I was away?

    Sorry, I still feel new to Open-Source even after using Linux for so many years. I think I answered your question for the most part... :rolling:

    Anything new in libre software while I was away?

    Not that I know of... I don't use Libre very often. I used to use it on a regular basis for PowerPoint and Word. These days I'm using Google Docs and my Google Drive. GIMP is expecting a bunch of new effects/filters and CMYK support in 2.9 PlayOnLinux hasn't changed much at all. In fact...

    Diablo 3 Guide

    You might be able to run Diablo 3 from a PlayOnLinux script, but I never used them. I prefer a manual installation because it teaches you how to setup, install and configure PlayOnLinux manually so you can update the version of Wine yourself. The script does everything for you, but if it...

    The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Guide

    I totally agree, but as you know... some gamers come from Windows to Linux and already have a gaming machine with a decent AMD card. The frustrating drivers is a complete turn-off and pushes them away. I would definitely prefer AMD to optimize their drivers instead, but I know that a whole $$...

    AMD Gallium Nine Drivers

    I moved our conversation away from the Skyrim guide to a new post.... I'm not totally sure how it works with AMD drivers. I'm guessing the new driver will remove the old proprietary AMD driver and install the new AMD driver with Gallium Nine Support. Here is some information about updating...

    DRM on my ink cartridges? Ugh...

    I had a feeling you would say that ;) I never really did a good test with a color laserprinter. I printed some photos at work once and they looked ok... but not great. Maybe I will have to research a photo laserprinter.
