Yeah, IPP Everywhere supposedly solves all these issues, but I haven't tried it for myself yet. People keep giving me their old "broken" printers so I never buy anything new.

Very excited to see support for Little Big Adventure!

Quoting: damarrinI don't think the native version is up on Steam yet, as I launch it always says it's going to run through Steam Play, even though I have Steam Linux Runtime selected in compatibility.

That's odd. It does download the native version here.

Annoyingly, it also downloads the Windows .exe. All 978 MB of it... - Oh, so that file doubles as the data file for the game. Sneaky!

Quoting: rustybroomhandleCurrent Proton Experimental is on wine 6.3 so it might take a while. Proton-GE should have it soon though.

No. It's a work in progress (from the git commit message):

Quotedinput: Introduce new HID joystick backend.
This adds a new joystick backend, implemented on top of HID and without
any host dependencies. This will be progressively implementated, and
it's not going to be usable until at least a few more patches.

Scratch what I wrote above. I was really young/stupid/drunk at the time. Also, my account was hacked.

It looks like it can be enabled along with the other backends so I assume it will end up in GE shortly, sorry!

Proton uses it's own SDL based joystick input system, different from Wine. But I'm guessing this one will supersede that one too in time?

Quoting: slaapliedjeI hate to be 'that guy', but I think what Linux needs, and I know this is a gaming site, but for it to truly be something people migrate toward, we need a 'killer app' that is only available on Linux,

Microsoft learned their lesson from Wine and would just WSL that killer app in a heartbeat!

Quoting: GuestGoing off topic, for which I apologise, but I figure this is interesting anyway!
[...snipped long and highly readable pos...]

Very interesting, thanks for sharing! Some real outside the box thinking, or perhaps outside the window?

I would actually love something like this for a game like OpenTTD. Real windows for all those little boxes of statistics and whatnots on a second monitor or workspace.

Quoting: GuestGNU/Linux desktop has had virtual desktops for a very long time. I don't see many games taking advantage of that, or even trying to.

Now you made me curious! Got any ideas for this? Have any games used this?

The first demo was quite good. I'm not usually a fan of visual novels or superheroes but this one worked for me.

Quoting: NociferWhich means that they've intentionally used tech that they know is neither portable to Linux and Mac (i.e. they'll need to replace all the WMF stuff in their code before they even think of porting) nor possible to be used with Proton in the meantime, which of course means no playing this on the Steam Deck. If this isn't a deliberate act of sabotaging a competitor, I don't know what it is.

Never ascribe to malice that which is adequately explained by incompetence. I'd be surprised if this was anything but the usual short shortsightedness that's ubiquitous in game development.

3.0 years old, is it 1994 already? Is Linux 1.1.48 Y2K compatible or is that planned for version 2.0?

Greetings from Denialtown! Come visit us sometime! We're all young here!
