As a StarCraft 2 Map curator, I would love Blizzard games on Linux as I now only use Arch Linux, and maybe WINE once in a while.

Valve is just chipping away at the mountain, the avalanche is coming. I suspect that Steam Machines Winter 2016 and Spring 2017 will be power houses ready for the final console war.

There Steam Machines will enact the final solution. We will be victorious comrades.

AMD release the AMD GPU-PRO Beta Driver with Vulkan support for Linux
19 March 2016 at 4:09 am UTC

Quoting: srlsboyThese R9 cards aren't cheap. At newegg, they start at $175.

Wut? My video card bill this year was $800 for 2 rigs nvidia. That was the cost of gaming on linux with good performance.

I was expecting something between 400-600 ironically.

If AMD becomes the technically superior choice in hardware and driver I'll sell both nVidia cards and opt for maybe some 390s or Fury's

Substance Painter 2 3D painting software coming to Linux

Quoting: Renzatic GearThis is one of the things keeping me tethered to Windows. If I can Designer and B2M here, I could practically stay in Linux forever, minus a game or two.

Suggestion: keep a cheap $200 - $400 Windows Box (or Laptop) around and Remmina RDP or NoMachine connect via LAN, I do this in emergency situations. It's nice to never leave Gnome, Plasma 5 is nice too.

See this impressive Unreal Engine 4 video showcasing 2016 features, official Vulkan support

FUCK YEAH!

I would love a FPS benchmark comparison ASAP, I'm especially excited about the performance boost to Ark when they build their Vulkan Interface.

GOL Asks: What have you been playing recently?

I've watch +4 Stardew Valley already, my peeps are playing on WINE with incredible stability so far. The FNA Developer even offered to port it as it has so few dependencies.

I'm playing lots of Counter Strike: Source, should get back to Bioshock Infinite but I think the computer ate my saves. Distance is hella fun, exceeded my already high expectations.

Stellaris, Paradox's space grand strategy game, gets a release date

Announcer sounds too serious, instant turn off. Interested nonetheless looks like the story may be good?

Rocket League due on SteamOS & Linux very soon [Updated]

Quoting: GuestThe problem this year is that VR [at GDC] is going to drown everything else out while not paying attention to much else. :-/

Pass. $800 for a headset that requires performance from CPU's and GPU's that barely exist yet.

Maybe developers are excited, but as a gamer I'm not sure I'll ever be excited by VR.

As for RocketLeague, feeling a lot of excitement and disappointment. This title has been a rodeo.
