  • 15 Must Have Gaming Tools For PC

    I can only imagine how much increase in players the gaming community has seen this year especially since our article on the 30+ Awesome Linux Games to Look Forward to in 2019.

    Today, we bring you a list of applications that, combined, work to provide the smoothest gaming experience.

  • Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall

    Welcome back to this new pygame project. In this chapter we will win and get to the next level of the game, if we lose then we will return to the beginning of that level. In the previous chapter, we have passed the game manager object to the boy sprite object so that boy sprite object can use that game manager to reset the game when it is game over or to increase the game level when that player had won the game. In this chapter, we will use the level manager object to replace the game manager object so the boy sprite object will directly call the level manager to reset the game or to increase the level of the game accordingly. In order to use this system, we will need to edit a few files. The first one is the game manager class where we will pass in the level manager to the boy sprite object.

  • ProtonDB released another data dump, here's a quick look over some February 2019 info

    ProtonDB, the rather nice ratings website where you can go and give your thoughts on games played through Steam Play put out another data dump, here's a look inside. This is following on from our first peek into it last month.

    The latest data dump is available here, which shows a total of 32,716 reports although that does include around 30 reports from March too. A very active system, good to see!

  • Space combat sim 'ASTROKILL' updated again, now has Ultrawide res support and more

    The Early Access space combat sim ASTROKILL continues to impress and this latest update should solve some issues our readers had with it before.

    Firstly, the developer says the game now official supports ultrawide resolutions. Linking into this, the menus should auto-adjust for those using such high resolutions.

    More display issues were solved with the latest release too, including vsync, windowed mode and more.

  • Deep Rock Galactic, a 1-4 player co-op FPS with a destructible environment works great in Steam Play

    For those itching to play through another FPS, you might want to take a look at Deep Rock Galactic from Ghost Ship Games.

    It recently had a free weekend on Steam, so making great use of it I decided to try it out for a few hours with Valve’s Steam Play and to my surprise it worked incredibly well.

    Next to traditional real-time strategy games, first-person shooters are my favourite genre of games to dive into and have some fun. Sadly, Linux is extremely underserved when it comes to these types of shooters and so Steam Play can really help bridge the gap here.

    It’s currently in Early Access and there seems to be no plan for a Linux version right now, with the only comment from the developer I can find on this on their Steam forum where they said "Hey there! We'd love to support other platforms in the future, but for now we are focused on the PC version.". So it’s another good testing case for how well Steam Play can run Windows games on Linux.

  • Rusted Warfare, the awesome 2D RTS has new maps and multiplayer features

    If you're a bit of an RTS nut like me, Rusted Warfare is a really fantastic choice. It's been updated again with some fun new features and content.

    To keep you busy, this new release adds in two completely new maps with Valley Arena and Kingdoms. Both of these maps support up to 10 players, so you can have some huge battles!

  • Unravel the secrets of your new employer in 'Yuppie Psycho', a strange looking survival horror coming to Linux

    You know what it's like starting a new job, it's both exciting and terrifying. In Yuppie Psycho, it's terrifying for a whole different reason.

    It recently appeared on Steam with Linux in the system requirements section. As we know, that's not always confirmation of a Linux version. We reached out to the developer, Baroque Decay, to ask about it. They confirmed to us directly, that "Yes. It will be released on PC, Mac & Linux".

  • Football-focused city-builder 'Road to your City' failed on Kickstarter, looks like it's going to Early Access

    I'm quite sad about this one, Road to your City looked like an interesting city-builder that was switching things up nicely with a focus on building up a Football (Soccer) team but it's failed the Kickstarter challenge.

    The campaign has ended, with only €1,769 of the €12,500 goal being pledged. Speaking about it in a new update, the developer mentioned how they struggled to get noticed. It's not the end though, like many games that didn't get what they needed through crowdfunding development will continue. They also said how they're "very optimistic for releasing the Early Access version soon".

  • Intense looking indie horror title 'WOUNDED' is coming to Linux

    The developer of WOUNDED, Workbench Entertainment, has confirmed that a Linux version of their short and intense horror title is on the way.

    As usual, someone asked on their Steam forum if it was going to release for Linux. The developer replied with "Definitely! Linux is coming in the upcoming updates.", you can't get much clearer than that!

  • Six years after the Kickstarter, the platformer and space shooter hybrid A.N.N.E is nearing a release

    Wow, that's a name I haven't heard for a while! A.N.N.E had a Kickstarter way back in May of 2013 and it's finally closing in on an Early Access release.

    Truthfully, it's a project that I didn't really follow since their crowdfunding campaign. During the Kickstarter, the developer Gamesbymo Inc. managed to raise just over $100K from over 4K backers so there's quite a few people waiting on it.

  • 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.
