  1. O GLUA apresenta um novo evento: Workshop de Gaming on Linux 🐧 🎮 🎉
    Sim, dá para jogar em Linux jogos que tens em outros OS (e não só Super Tux).

    Com os oradores João Sinaré e Victor Morais, já não vais ter a desculpa "ah, mas Linux não dá para jogar", in fact os jogos até têm melhor performance 😉 🐧
    Vais aprender sobre a maioria dos jogos em Linux, quer com compatibilidade nativa, quer com bibliotecas de compatibilidade e além disso, sobre emulação de consolas mais antigas e Remote Streaming!

  2. Because apparently I'm not a very logical person, I decided to try out #ZorinOS. Here's how it's going:

    I installed it as a dual-boot together with a #Win10 install. It worked!

    Unfortunately internet wasn't working on it, it seems that my WiFi card wasn't recognised. According to the online gods I needed to connect via Ethernet to try and download the WiFi drivers that way. After buying an Ethernet cable I did that and it worked!

    Now I'm trying to see if I can play some games on it. I followed the Zorin instructions for this and managed to install Steam (had to use command line once). I've downloaded #TombRaider4 and tried to start it. It didn't work. Then I checked which games were actually Linux-compatible and installed #Left4Dead (2) . I'm going to try it out now...

    Do you think it will work??
