Dunno, but these messages from developers, like "Linux support still confirmed with no ETA", keep piling up a bit lately...
And I'm getting quite impatient and unsecure about such game releases...

Somehow, the future (with respect to these releases) suddenly feels somehow darker... as if developers kept postponing Linux releases indefinitely as a rule now...

Valve have some serious competition, with the Epic Games Store being announced

Yeah...
"...PC and Mac..."

Paradox have put up the changes coming to Stellaris for MegaCorp and the big 2.2 'Le Guin' patch

Far too pricey for €19,99.
Also, with other free changes coming with the update, I'm afraid there might be far too many changes at once...
Hence not purchasing the DLC now....

(Lets see how long my will stands until it breaks and I purchase Megacorps DLC for any price :D [I estimate my will breaks no later than just before Christmas])

Visual Studio Code is very far from Visual Studio.
Can you please elaborate on how far is it? (with some - at least generic - examples...)
Thanks.

Hmmm - no matter what try, what I set where, the DXVK_HUD is nowhere to be seen :(
Did anybody make it work?

Just a technical note: It is possible, of course, to run on "stock" standard nVidia drivers on Optimus-equipped laptops, it will just result in not having the Optimus capabilities (i.e. on-the-fly graphics card switching)
