Hey guys!
I am a college student in the united states and I think that the
community is lacking a bit in games for GNU/Linux, I know that there are 3d
games out there that are FOSS but how can we compete with Steam if we do not
have a centralized distributor and development center for
Isn't this solved by GNU/Linux distros? They have centralized repos and
package managers that allow easily installing the packages. Having the
game included in Debian leads to it being available later in many
distros (and easy to backport to their current releases).

I believe each X, in GustavoCM's message, is an hexadecimal number (i.e.,
from 0 to f). Two such numbers effectively allow to encode 16x16=256 values
(from 0 o 255 in decimal numbering).

I am not 100% sure, but I believe the following commands should solve your

Great idea. And then we'll all keep crying oh why are there so few people

I don't know how showing some ads should harm the privacy of the users in any
way.
If you want to contribute to free software, then let those damn ads where

Hi,
I was wondering what is the status of support of the AMD Radeon 8330
chipsets in Trisquel? Are there 100% free open source drivers supporting
3d/acceleration? Are those available for Trisquel?
Thanks for any information, I didn't find
The open source Radeon drivers require nonfree firmware for
acceleration, so it won't work on free systems. Modesetting often
works, while there are driver bugs that might lead to a black screen or
errors on suspend/resume. I don't know if these problems occur on 8330.

If there's going to be a future clause to the Firefox licensing where
deriatives will have to use the ad code or else they won't allow you to use
your code, that would make Firefox non-free software, because that's a
restriction on modifications.
I'm not too concerned by this advertising,
Yeah, it seems to be solving a problem that doesn't really exist on
GNU/Linux. If the original poster were to have been talking about making more
free games that's one thing but otherwise yeah - The software distribution
problem was licked years ago in GNU/Linux with package managers.

I pretty much never click on advertisements, either. But the truth of the
matter is, running websites costs money. You can rely on user donations
(usually unfeasible), make it into a subscription service, or you can
advertise. For this reason, I disable blocking advertisements on any site

Thank you very much.
I had a similar issue on Radeon HD4350 (RV710) when the RLC microcode
was introduced. It was later fixed, I used Trisquel and Parabola on
that machine. It's probably worse with newer cards.

What is the best free video editing software to edit videos.
It should be stable and powerful and must be able to edit high resolution

Please list pros and cons and give reasons why you recommend it.
Thank you!
I've only used PiTiVi and OpenShot.
OpenShot is reliable, but doesn't have a lot of features. It's kind of
comparable to Windows Movie Maker.
PiTiVi is much more powerful, but I've had trouble with exporting the videos;
it seems a lot of formats supposed to be available just don't work.

As far as I'm aware, there is no reverse-engineering effort with AMD GPUs,
which means paradoxically that AMD cooperating half-way is even worse for our
community than not cooperating at all, like Nvidia does.
Yes I am aware that those games exist, I was just suggesting that there could
be a place for these games to be distributed. Even though I am aware that
package managers solve the whole distribution issue, that most package

This doesn't appear to work for me. I tried first with XX = 7F, then XX = FF,
then XX = 1F. No noticeable change in screen brightness. Thanks.

I finish calibrating it and let you know. I have had no issue to date with
the laptop heating up.

It's possible to host custom repositories, e.g. PPAs for Ubuntu-based systems

Simply question on the topic. Any of those commands will install the default

It's true that package managers solve the distribution issue, and a great way
to achieve what BrighamKeys is suggesting would be a libre games PPA, which
could be added to any apt-based distro.
However, I think the appeal of Steam is broader than just the distribution
mechanism. It's a
Yes.
There are tons of games for gnu/linux systems.
Now about a platform like Steam you may look at Deepin Game Center.Maybe can
be adapted to be what you want.
