  • Sword of the Necromancer crowdfunding a success, on the way to Linux

    Sword of the Necromancer is a dungeon crawling action RPG from JanduSoft and it just recently finished a Kickstarter campaign, which thankfully was a big success. It sounds like it's going to be pretty fun with the necromancy feature, as you will revive your dead enemies to fight alongside you.

    Against their €15,000 funding goal they managed to hit way over it at €201,526. Mentioned here on GOL previously, they confirmed Linux support after the launch of the campaign. In their FAQ, they clearly mention that if it's not a simultaneous release it will be shortly after.

  • Halo 2: Anniversary on Linux with Steam Play Proton, single-player works well

    Halo 2 is out on Steam now and much like Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary and Halo: Reach, the single-player works nicely on Linux thanks to the Proton compatibility layer for Steam Play.

    Another title that has a personal place in my heart, from my younger days of playing on an Xbox console and enjoying far too many hours with curtains closed and volume up blasting through enemies in Halo 2. Once again it's amazing that playing a Microsoft and Xbox Game Studios title on Linux has become so ridiculously easy.

  • Yell orders through your microphone in Radio General now with Linux voice support

    Radio General, a strategy game that puts you in a tent with a radio and a map and has you direct troops around released recently with Linux support. Highlighted briefly here on GOL previously, it had a promising idea. Using a microphone, you would issue commands to troops and have it correctly detect what you're saying. Just like a real radio operator back during WWII.

  • Seriously charming programming puzzler KnotBot is out now

    KnotBot replaces programming lines with a drag and drop interface to solve puzzles, it's not a unique idea but KnotBot has a wonderful style and setting that make it worth a play.

  • FOSS game engine GDevelop has a UI overhaul to improve the flow

    GDevelop is a free and open source game engine that uses an event-sheet style of making games, dragging and dropping instead of programming line after line. I'm a big fan of such things, as they're a great entry point for people interested in making games and other software.

    With GDevelop, they've just recent published version 5.0.0-beta93 which includes a much needed pass over the user interface. It's not so big and in your face, with extra padding everywhere now. Not only that, the UI is more persistent with your changes being saved and restored when opening a scene, extensions or the debugger.

  • 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.
