Did you miss the Feral livestream that showed Tomb Raider running on Linux? You can now watch it on Youtube.
Too excited about this, how about you? I will hopefully livestream it on the day of release. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Because they did a good job supporting controllers on Linux?

Quoting: poke86Just like Shadow of Mordor gives gamepad prompts when one is in use, I imagine this game will too. It's quite common for PC users to use a gamepad :)Quoting: chris200x9@1:24 why does it say x to reload if they are on linux?

Yeah, it's incredibly annoying when you're playing with a controller and the game prompts you with "press backspace to do [thing]" and then having to press every button until you find the right one. It's these kinds of things that make their ports so good.
I hope they're releasing this month!

It could be the recording too. I played this on a fairly low spec laptop about two years ago and it ran great. I can't imagine it'll need too beefy of a setup to run smoothly under Linux.

Bear in mind this is a in-house test version of the game, so chances are it's in "debug" mode where it is outputting more logs than usual and probably performing extra checks in background of what the game is doing. So it's most likely not at its "peak" performance in that video.

I really respect developers that support both the Xbox 360 and all versions of the Xbox One controller if xinput is used. Too may ports are lazy and only support the 360 or earlier versions of the Xbox One controller due to an old SDL2 or they are unaware.

Awesome thing about Tomb Raider (at least the Windows version) was when you turned on Tesselation (I think that was the option). It makes her hair look all stringy, but then it also made the framerate drop into a beautiful slide show. I wonder if they'll implement it correctly here? I actually have a system that can handle it now :D

The funny thing is, they're saying that on Linux this AMD technology only works on Nvidia.
It probably makes use of compute shaders, as the original effect used DirectCompute. Maybe there's something missing still from the brand new Mesa CS support.

That's what it was called! And yes, that's hilarious that they'd make an AMD tech work only on nvidia drivers. I think it's one of the techs that make the PS4 actually look awesome and not what the specs would be compared to if it were a PC running Windows.
