Not much being said in public about the Arma 3 Linux port, but it seems it is progressing and could become a reality.
If you remember, it was only started as an experiment to see how it would perform with an external porter (Virtual Programming).
The developer replied to a user on twitter to say they have been testing it:
@d10sfan Hi. We've been testing the experimental ports as Beta in-house and it's looking promising. More details coming up!
— Arma 3 (@Arma3official) August 3, 2015I will be very interested to see how it performs, and can't wait to give it a test run. It will be great to see the developer share some more details soon.

Quoting: dubigrasuThat's exactly my point! Saying that something is "promising" sounds good without actually telling us anything. It's PR fluff and nothing more.Quoting: Mountain ManLike I said, it was PR fluff that doesn't actually tell us anything.No, it could mean a lot of things, from: "we managed to start and play the game for 5 minutes before it crashed" to "the port is working really good but we still have some issues to resolve ".
Other that " promising" we know too little to go "Likely" or "Unlikely".
That said, "promising" is not a word I would expect someone to use to describe your latter scenario.

Quoting: dubigrasuOh, I get it, this is that thing where someone is too stubborn to admit that they've fallen behind in a debate, so they suddenly claim to no longer care about a topic that they were actively discussing. To quote the fox, "Those grapes are probably sour anyway."Quoting: Mountain ManFrankly my dear, I don't give a fuck about what you would use or expect.Quoting: dubigrasuThat's exactly my point!

Well played, sir, well played.

No, is just that you see the glass as half empty and I see it half full, so no point in continuing.
