Our latest user survey is done, Steam Controller seems to be the favourite

Hmm, my profile was a bit out of date also, I have recently settled on Manjaro KDE and currently using a 980Ti (I would use two if SLI worked!)

I'll move back to AMD once the 490 comes out, and if it isn't terrible :)

Nearly 4 years later, Steam still won’t close to the tray icon on Linux without workarounds

You must right click on icon and select library under KDE also, so I think that is a common issue.

Running Manjaro KDE here and pretty sure mine closes to the system tray just fine without any major tweak.

GOG have something mysterious planned for December 1st

GOG Galaxy for Linux would be a nice start,..

VK9, the open source project to implement d3d9 over Vulkan continues to improve

Its possible that DX9-VK will give better performance then DX9-OGL, in saying that it would have been more useful if it was DX11, but I guess you gotta start somewhere.

You might want to avoid the Nvidia 375.20 driver, Nvidia recommend downgrading

Their SLI function is also BROKEN at 4k, forcing only 30hz option no matter what (at 4k, although it still looks 30hz at lower res). I only wanted to try SLI for select titles that have inbuilt support for it, but not at 30hz.

I guess I should pester NVIDIA about this on their forums sometime....

My top list of must-have strategy games on Linux as of right now

Xenonauts is a pretty fun retro xcom game (but at higher resolution). There is a sequal in the works.

Alien: Isolation – The Collection is currently rather cheap on the official Feral store

Its a good game but has some annoying back tracking with the levels at times. I REALLY wish they made a multiplayer DLC were your the team on Nostromo trying to survive, change history [movie], would be awesome sauce x 10!!!

Unity bugs are holding back 'Syndrome' from coming to Linux

I always felt system shock was a more interesting story and had more potential then the Bioshock series of games which was retro steampunk with things that make no logical scientific sense...

The Vulkan API spec has been updated again, now at its 34th revision since release

I really wish Bethesda would give the keys to their games for porting to Linux. Many of them already run well under Wine but its just too clunky to run mods and related programs via Wine so a actual port would be nice for those games!

SkyrimSE and FO4 being the latest, but might require some actual work to port. I think Bethesda is openly ANTI Linux in a BIG way unfortunately... real sad...
