Quoting: sub"I don't know what my sound system is, but it never worked as expected."
Yes, it's probably PulseAudio, but who knows...

In this case, I'd expect that people do care and at least try to fix it.
Even if it's to no further avail, afterwards they should know which sound system does not work for them. ;)

Quoting: XylemonSomething that would interest me (but maybe not others) is what sound system Linux users have. It would be interesting to see how many use ALSA solely, or in combination with JACK or PulseAudio, or they use OSS4 and forget ALSA altogether.

If you're adding such an extra question, you'd probably need "I don't know what my sound system is, it just worked out-of-the-box" kind of answer.

By the way, the result for 32 vs. 64 bit is very interesting. For example, the demo of Making History: Great War was not able to run on 64 bit at all and it seemed the developers were totally unaware of that possibility. If I would have had this result, I would have pointed them here.

I consider 2% a very low jitter considering the lot of new participants, and you surely don't need (or should) report all declines or raises of such a low percentage. You could try to promote this on the Steam forum for Linux. Perhaps not for the one for SteamOS, not sure.

With 975 games, I guess you're not out of stuff to play? ;o)

Quoting: linuxgamerI have picked CS:GO. Unfortunately I missed that >75% sale last spring but at least i got some cents off compared to gift trade and made a "pure Linux purchase" (wonder if that is counted in any way).

Is that sale supposedto be a teaser, or is winter coming early to Valve?

Thanksgiving sale should not hinder them to do a decent winter/christmas sale nevertheless. :)

I picked "The Fall". Didn't feel sure enough for full price.

Quoting: amckinnonI don't believe it is all about what we can do as Linux gamers. Sure, I agree we should not be buying and playing games that do not have a native Linux version but any developer who complains about not making enough from Linux sales should have foreseen that when they already had a Windows version released.

If a developer wants to make sure their game is going to bring in the money from Linux, they need to make their games cross platform right from the start instead of focusing on Windows only programming then a year later convert the game so it can run on Linux.

The potential porters of Frozen synapse Prime said they thought the same, tried it and it didn't work out for them...
