(i have posted this as well on ELiosis Hunt Steam discussion)
This is a wrong marketing concept that most of the developers have.
Let me show you an example and hopefully the developer will understand.
For example, myself, I had no clue about Eliosis Hunt but I have learned about Eliosis hunt from GamingOnLinux.Just look the publicity that Eliosis Hunt got just only for mentioning the game that it will come to Linux.
GamingonLinux has published an article about this game already that it will come to Linux.
From that site I have learned about the game and now I am interested to be released on Linux.
GamingonLinux has like 1200 registered users and is linked to many other websites so in short Eliopsis Hunt advertised for FREE among all linux users and maybe on Windows/Mac Users as well.
Now can you tell me how many Window Gaming Sites have published an article about Eliosis Hunt?
Maybe a very few sites but it will not get the publicity as many other AAA Titles.
In Windows you have more users but you dont get the publicity you want because Windows gamers have a lot of other AAA titles to choose from. Having your Game also available in Linux and Mac you get much more publicity.Since Linux and Mac users dont have many games to choose from, if your game is good most propably they will buy it.
If Windows Sell I will create a Linux & Mac port --> thats wrong!
If many linux or mac users request a port I will propably do it --> thats wrong!
Multiplatform is a must these days , you get publicity to all platforms and you give the chance to all users to play your game. Every developer should do that no matter what the sales stats shows you at the end.

Nearly 4 years later, Steam still won’t close to the tray icon on Linux without workarounds

Another option that I like on steam is that I have on startup to start steam as silent mode
steam -silent
So no annoying popups like connecting to steam or show up my steam library or steam promotions on my screen :P

It works fine on Plasma (Manjaro Distro)
Never noticed this kind of a problem ..

You might want to avoid the Nvidia 375.20 driver, Nvidia recommend downgrading

Good luck doing that on Manjaro :P
(is possible but the effort/risk required to do that is just not worth it overall)

Quoting: Avehicle7887The drivers from the Nvidia website are safe to use, for over 2 years I've been installing them in this way and I can't say I've ever had any problems, so if you can't find what you need in the repo you might wanna give them a shot :-)

I am glad that philm from Manjaro Team decided to keep 370.28 on Stable and Testing repositories after we have reported him the problems we had with nvidia drivers on Plasma.
The bad thing about Manjaro is that they dont give us many Nvidia drivers to choose from, Just only one driver....:|

I am using Plasma and have a GTX980 , worst drivers ever for me :O
These drivers really destroy plasma 5 , Plasma was half functioning. right panel bar not showing .
Plasma Freezing if you click anything from system settings.
And the worst of all is that I couldn't even launch a game to play!
Reverted back to 370.28
