Quoting: Liam DaweIstead of commenting this type of thing constantly - why not skip over Steam Play articles? Or even better, block the tag in your settings here so we don't have to keep reading it?

Such a nice way to treat the people who have shared hundreds of articles of your site on Reddit for years. Oh, not to mention there was no attack on the devs or anyone in those comments. I guess we are not even allow to say that. Sigh... Thank you.

Without a proper native port I'll pass. So many good native games to play.

Quoting: gbudnyThis is useful if I have a list of files that I need for the specific source port.

For iortcw:

$ ls -R "/home/<username>/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Return to Castle Wolfenstein/ET"

Quoting: gbudnyI hope that someone create a Linux installer for this mod because I don't like to use Wine even for installing games on Linux.

It's possible to extract the .exe with innoextract 1.9+ but it extracts all files, meaning not being able to select proper source port.

Wasn't she evil anyway? :-D

Quoting: rea987Only reason that I would allow it in my PC alongside with Firefox and Chromium would be to be able to watch Netflix 4K but it's still not happening on Linux. Hence, I'll pass.

Edit: Out of curiosity I downloaded and installed Edge to see whether at least 1080p Netflix streaming is available aaaaaand it couldn't play a thing on Netflix. lol Though, it's probably Netflix's end as they are quite strict with browser support, they probably block Edge on Linux due to unknown user agent.

On the other hand, I am able to stream 1080p on Firefox thanks to Netflix 1080p add-on.

Be the change you want to see, contact Customer Service and ask for 1080p and 4K support in Linux via Edge browser now that it's available. Maybe they'll bump the request up the chain for you.

Well, I'll act both spoiled and responsible here.

Spoiled: I don't require higher than 1080p Netflix on my 15" laptop that Firefox can provide thanks to the aforementioned add-on. For TV, I have my 4K 50" Android TV that can handle pretty much anything regardless. :-)

Responsible: As a loyal Firefox advocate, I rather prefer Netflix to keep considering Firefox as an officially supported browser on Linux. Having Microsoft made Edge may or may not change their mind.
