This time period of Linux is like watching the fall of Berlin Wall, or waking up September 11th, 2001, or the fall of the Roman empire.

It seems that Push is coming to Shove and this whole Microsoft Store lock-jaw tactic may yet prove futile as SteamOS/Linux is becoming a mature platform.

Can't wait to get this :) Very exciting time to live and watch Linux.

When will developers realize that simple sometimes is just as good or better than an all out assault for the best map graphics.

This looks like CS:S and that gives me a big warm feeling like I would love the fuck out of it.

Quoting: PeciskSo strap on, review games, ... Linux is not going away as a gaming platform. It will only get better. Case closed.

Erm.... strap what on? I've never heard that phrase used as you just used it.

Strap up implies getting ready for combat grabbing your artillery. Buckle Your Seat-belt implies shits gonna go real fast. Strap on implies? [...]?

The most famous french video game website also just released an article about how "failure steam is with linux". Claiming that it's not going well at all and will disappear.
Do you think microsoft is getting major video game medias to give a bad image of steamOS ? :þ

Microsoft is well known for handing out PR money to sink competition. It is nothing new, especially regarding Linux. However you also must consider that huge part of so called "journalists" are just Windows users, and are ignorant as hell. They just don't know anything better so don't even have to be paid to paint bad image of Valve Linux strategy.

Because M$ has never used Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt (FUD) to sway the dumb masses into making choices that benefit their business eh, oh wait.... no - they've done exactly that.

Quoting: amonobeaxLet's not forget we're not at the same page as Windows feature wise. Many Linux users don't care, but we're talking about ppl coming from the Windows ecosystem their rationality might differ from ours.

Momma says just yesterday after being exclusively on Gnome & Pantheon for a couple years now that using Windows is "strange" and "weird" and that "she doesn't like it". People like what they know.

Of course Microlites don't know about the awesomeness of Shell, SSH, HTOP, IFTOP, X Forwarding, Apt/Yum/Pacman, WPS Office (Only free on Linux), Tabbed File Manager, Tomahawk, Gnome/KDE Plasmoids/Extensions, Rsync

And the biggest of all is that Copy / Paste is not part of explorer.exe which crashes regularly leaving your file operations in some sort of purgatory where you have no clue how far it got without re copying/moving 100GB of files.

I really want to know why people like Sunless Sea so much, seems like a boring underdeveloped game without content or excitement.

No diss intended, what I want to know is what makes it amazing?

"Depending on sales of the game, there will be version for both MAC and Linus"

Quoting: Incandescent

Quoting: ElectricPrismSteaming from Windows Laptop to SteamOS, seems to run well on 3rd Gen i5 with modest specs. Doesn't run in WINE Day 1 from my efforts.

Will buy 4 more copies later when native Linux comes out.

I hope this doesn't come off as strange, but are you LucidFlux?

lol, nope I'm ElectricPrism

Quoting: WorMzy^XP mode for me
It's been more stable for me in wine, than it has for the girlfriend on Windows. ^_^

What dependencies did you use and I assume Wine 1.9.x ? No go for me so far.

QuoteMultiplayer still needs some work, and I am looking into possibly switching to MonoGame, which would allow for a Mac and Linux release. I can’t make any promises about that, but I’d really like for it to happen.

I think he should port to FNA if it's XNA 4.x just like Terraria did.

I thirst for HD HQ games, it feels like we're in a drought or something this past week, or maybe my OCD of checking GamingOnLinux is just showing through a bit.

Quoting: Keyrock"No wonder there's so many issues with 4K monitors, hardly anyone uses them! I genuinely miss my old monitors, 1920x1080 is just simpler."

1440p is the sweet spot for high end machines right now. .

yup, running a 1440p screen and the overall hit on the GPU wasn't the 75% more of the pixels you get.

That said, 1080p is still easier for devs sadly. Some recent games ( unity ) dont even still offer 1440p and SteamOS is firmly fixed @ 1080p for the UI & for Games at the moment.. so i wouldn't be using SteamOS @ 1440p down to scaling quality

makes me wonder if i should get a 1080p flat screen or a 4k one down to higher input lag on scaling and poor 4k UI / game support :|

I 4k downscale to 1080p @ 120hz. Of course it works great on 43". 4k below 30" is not for me. 96-110 PPI is the sweet spot.

Looking back I think a 40" might have been a better size for 4k. 1:1 scaling is important to me.

I must be one of the few who wanted to like the selection more but is having a hard time. I guess Trine 3 is a good item to pickup, maybe the hidden items will be better hopefully :\

What do people love about sunless sea so much anyways? Seems slow and riven/mistish mixed with a dialog adventure - am i missing something.
