Gaming
What have I been playing:
Borderlands 2. I’ve put over a dozen hours into this triple A title and believe its one of the best FPS shooters of all time second to Doom 2016. Ridiculous laugh out loud humor, great story, amazing graphics, fantastic soundtrack. A must have title that’s native to Linux. The Prequel is just as amazing.

Episode 39: Destination Linux EP39 – The Bit You Should Read
Welcome to Episode 39 of Destination Linux for 10/02/17
Correction from last week
Just to set things straight, ArchMerge is a separate project from ArchLabs with a completely separate team. There is no collaboration between ArchLabs and ArchMerge and they have a completely different vision about a distro. They each go their own way. I apologize for confusing the two together.

Gaming
What have I been playing:
This week has been full of Half Life 2 gameplay. It’s a relic that’s sat in my Summer Sale games archive for a while and considered by many to be one of the best games ever created by Valve. I’ve finally broken it out and starting to play through the story. It runs beautifully on Linux and so far find the very hurried pace and a solid story to be incredibly engaging. The fact that I am playing this means Half-Life 3 is confirmed!
Half-Life: C.A.G.E.D. from former Valve worker should hopefully come to Linux
Might be worth letting them know in the post if you’re interested.

This Week in Solus – Install #46
Solus 3 has had quite the reception but the work continues including a TO-DO list posted on Solus site for all the features, enhancements and bug fixes they’re working on. https://dev.solus-project.com/T4235
Some High Priority Items that are being worked on I think will be refreshing for many
Third Party support is one of the pain points I’ve heard and Ikey and the team have taken note. They’re going to be working on improvements to third party offerings in SNAP, upgrade improvements, and potentially more third party options.
X-Stack upgrades to help with compatibility with APU + AMD GPU combos
Improvements to Nautilus and Samba support
Preston package and licensing scanning and ferryd for faster indexing and syncing of repos.
Replacing eopkg with sol for software framework
Solus 3 Released
