TuxJam 64 - Space Time

Kevie, Dave (aka thelovebug) and Andrew (aka mcnalu) take a wander through the wonders of recent releases reported on distrowatch before reviewing a trio of free and open source marvels. For older hardware and those in places where the internet is not so great, there is the Emmabuntüs linux distro. Then if you have some free time to fill, you might want to try out the space sim game Pioneer. It’s inspired by the classic Elite 2: Frontier game. But if you have no free time at all and are prone to forgetting important tasks (ed: such as writing show notes) then why not let your phone govern your life with the Open Tasks app.

Downloaded Pioneer, tried starting the game from terminal, realised I had to install the package assimp (from Solus repo), then all ran just fine.
Thanks for bringing me back to my Amiga days. Looking forward to playing again.
