------------------------------ Stay connected!: zelikos.github.io/contact Support the channel!: zelikos.github.io/supportGetting Ready for Gaming on elementary OS in 2019 (AMD)Akzel2019-10-26 | Showing what I consider to be the essential steps to get gaming-ready on elementary OS.
1) Make sure your OS is up-to-date! The easiest way is to simply do so through AppCenter.
2) Install GPU drivers --- As I only have AMD graphics cards, I'm only able to test the process for the AMD side. If you're an Nvidia user, feel free to share any additional information for getting up-to-date Nvidia drivers down in the comments!
3) Install Steam via 'Steam Installer' in AppCenter
4) Install Wine and Lutris --- I do install Wine Staging for Lutris in this video, but the latest stable version of Wine may work fine too.
Also, I mentioned a Lutris video by TheLinuxGamer. He did make one, but what I meant to refer to was *this* video by The Linux Experiment: youtu.be/oHDkeQ9eDrc ------------------------------ Stay connected!: zelikos.github.io/contact Support the channel!: zelikos.github.io/supportTesting a Few Games on Ubuntu 19.10Akzel2019-10-16 | Casual test of a few Steam games on Ubuntu 19.10, mostly because there had been some game-related concerns with them dropping a lot of 32-bit packages. Seems like they did indeed keep the 32-bit packages required for Steam (and games run through it) to run just fine, although I can't speak for using Wine by itself, or through Lutris. ------------------------------ Stay connected!: zelikos.github.io/contact Support the channel!: zelikos.github.io/supportUbuntu MATE 19.10 (Beta) OverviewAkzel2019-10-04 | My overview of the Ubuntu MATE 19.10 Beta, going over the Welcome app, the new graphical layout switcher, and the very in-depth blog post by Martin Wimpress going over all of the changes/fixes with this release: ubuntu-mate.org/blog/ubuntu-mate-19-10-eoan-ermine-release ------------------------------ Stay connected!: zelikos.github.io/contact Support the channel!: zelikos.github.io/supportWhere Ive BeenAkzel2019-09-10 | ------------------------------ Stay connected!: zelikos.github.io/contact Support the channel!: zelikos.github.io/supportAkzelTech News - June 11 2019Akzel2019-06-11 | Going over some bits of news I found interesting from the past week or so:
