It's that time of the month again Linux gamers! The new GOL survey for October is now available, so please make sure to fill it in if you have the time.

The results of the previous (September) survey will be published in the next few days. Thanks to those who filled that one out! There were a few changes, so it will be interesting to see the results.

You can find the link for the new survey here, and please share with other Linux gamers if you can. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

About the author -
After many years of floating through space on the back of a missile, following a successful career in beating people up for not playing Sega Saturn, the missile returned to earth. Upon returning, I discovered to my dismay that the once great console had been discontinued and Sega had abandoned the fight to dominate the world through 32-bit graphical capabilities.

After spending some years breaking breeze blocks with my head for money and being mocked by strangers, I have found a new purpose: to beat up people for not playing on Linux.

In this question: Unique Question: Which are the most important factors you consider when buying a new game? I'd say DRM-free is a major factor for me (in addition to others). I.e. if it's not DRM-free, I won't buy it.

Quoting: pop2010Long time Windows user here, I definitely switched to Linux (Mint for the moment). So happy with it!

My previous tries did not match my requirements before, but now it's the good one!

Welcome! :)
What has changed so much in Linux?
What stopped you once upon a time and let you proceed this time?

Well, I would say better hardware support and better overall polishing mostly, plus more games on the platform. I'm not even playing native Linux games right now, but at least there is a choice.

On the other hand, Windows pisses me off more and more everyday (still using it at work).

Is local multiplayer considered as multiplayer? I've found myself fond of these games lately.

I would think so. Multiplayer is when two people or more play together, wheather they are sitting on the same couch or on the opposite side of the world. (Random association: I always liked the thought of playing Call of Duty, being a German, with or against Polish or Russian players. What a better world it would have been if our grand grand fathers would have done the same back then...)

I recommend (games from) the Valve complete pack as Valve supports Linux in all their games. Their ports have high quality in respect to stability and performance. Another high performing game which can beat Windows performance (depending on graphical settings:AA,...) is Metro Redux, and there might be many other.

People, well, Windows users at least, are still buying from Desura at thus point. Maybe they havn't got the news.

But it's still up and still selling Linux games (for now), unless there's something I'm missing?
