  • A 2018 Thanksgiving retrospection about the open source game engine 'xoreos'

    xoreos is a FLOSS project aiming to reimplement BioWare's Aurora engine (and derivatives), covering their games starting with Neverwinter Nights and potentially up to Dragon Age II. This post gives a short update on the current progress.

    Another year nears its end. After unfortunately skipping last year’s Not-Thanksgiving post, we are, back to our regular yearly retrospection. For people new to xoreos: this series is a kind of introspective look into what happened with the xoreos project over the past year. I’m not in the USA, so I don’t observe Thanksgiving, but nevertheless, I do want to give thanks to all the great people working with me on xoreos, and supporting us in other ways.

  • Lutris – Install and Play Linux Games with Ease

    Linux gaming gets more awesome by the day and Lutris is another title that supports my assertion.

    Lutris is an open source Linux gaming platform with support for different game platform titles including native Linux Games, Gamecube, Windows, and PlayStation.

    Lutris helps you install, configure, manage, and launch games (using programs referred to as “runners“) from a single interface. All runners, except those of web browsers and Steam, belong to and are managed by Lutris.

  • MXGP3 - The Official Motocross Videogame, some thoughts on the Linux version

    With MXGP3 - The Official Motocross Videogame now on Linux from Milestone S.r.l. With porting from Virtual Programming, I took a look. Note: Copy personally purchased.

    As the first game from Milestone to land with Linux support, it didn’t get the best start. For a day it didn’t work for anyone and after that it crashed quite often. It was quickly fixed up, so thankfully it does work fine now.

  • SOMOS is an arcade game with simple visuals and a simple idea, executed extremely well

    SOMOS might not look like much with the simplistic visual style, however, it's the gameplay that hooks you in this arcade-action game.

  • Woodpunk, a pretty sweet action roguelike is coming to Linux hopefully soon

    There's a lot of cyberpunk games, steampunk and more but what about Woodpunk? It's an action roguelike that looks good and it's coming to Linux.

    It released for Windows a few days ago, after checking it out I thought it looked pretty sweet. Before speaking to the developer, I perused the Steam forum and as expected there was already someone asking about Linux support. The answer from the developer was surprising "We're aiming pre-christmas!" and so we should hopefully see it soon.

  • BATTLETECH for Linux updated, releases Flashpoint expansion – some thoughts

    Coinciding with a patch and an expansion, BATTLETECH has been updated for Linux. I’ve spent some time with both the base game and DLC and have come away with a lot to say.

  • Evolution simulator 'Species: ALRE' allows you to tinker with life itself and it now has a Linux version

    Here's one we missed you might like. Species: ALRE is an evolution simulation game which puts you in control of life itself. It entered Early Access on Steam back in September, with a Linux version arriving last month.

  • Bloody Rally Simulator, a top-down 2D racer with a violent side coming soon to Linux

    I have some pretty fond memories of top-down racers on the Amiga and Bloody Rally Simulator is bringing back those memories. Coming to Linux next month.

  • How to install go1.19beta on Ubuntu 22.04 – NextGenTips

    In this tutorial, we are going to explore how to install go on Ubuntu 22.04 Golang is an open-source programming language that is easy to learn and use. It is built-in concurrency and has a robust standard library. It is reliable, builds fast, and efficient software that scales fast. Its concurrency mechanisms make it easy to write programs that get the most out of multicore and networked machines, while its novel-type systems enable flexible and modular program constructions. Go compiles quickly to machine code and has the convenience of garbage collection and the power of run-time reflection. In this guide, we are going to learn how to install golang 1.19beta on Ubuntu 22.04. Go 1.19beta1 is not yet released. There is so much work in progress with all the documentation.

  • How To Install MongoDB on AlmaLinux 9 - idroot

    In this tutorial, we will show you how to install MongoDB on AlmaLinux 9. For those of you who didn’t know, MongoDB is a high-performance, highly scalable document-oriented NoSQL database. Unlike in SQL databases where data is stored in rows and columns inside tables, in MongoDB, data is structured in JSON-like format inside records which are referred to as documents. The open-source attribute of MongoDB as a database software makes it an ideal candidate for almost any database-related project. This article assumes you have at least basic knowledge of Linux, know how to use the shell, and most importantly, you host your site on your own VPS. The installation is quite simple and assumes you are running in the root account, if not you may need to add ‘sudo‘ to the commands to get root privileges. I will show you the step-by-step installation of the MongoDB NoSQL database on AlmaLinux 9. You can follow the same instructions for CentOS and Rocky Linux.

  • Self-host a Ghost Blog With Traefik

    Ghost is a very popular open-source content management system. Started as an alternative to WordPress and it went on to become an alternative to Substack by focusing on membership and newsletter. The creators of Ghost offer managed Pro hosting but it may not fit everyone's budget. Alternatively, you can self-host it on your own cloud servers. On Linux handbook, we already have a guide on deploying Ghost with Docker in a reverse proxy setup. Instead of Ngnix reverse proxy, you can also use another software called Traefik with Docker. It is a popular open-source cloud-native application proxy, API Gateway, Edge-router, and more. I use Traefik to secure my websites using an SSL certificate obtained from Let's Encrypt. Once deployed, Traefik can automatically manage your certificates and their renewals. In this tutorial, I'll share the necessary steps for deploying a Ghost blog with Docker and Traefik.
