On this version, the problem I was having with a purple title screen has gone. Hurrah!
Editorial: I ditched SteamOS in favour of a normal Linux distribution for my gaming

At the moment I am using Leap 42.1 as my chosen platform and have had very few video or sound issues with my 170-odd installed games. Video card is a GTX 980.
The only problems I have encountered are sound crackling in Life is Strange and D : OS, which I think is a PulseAudio problem; and the missing body problem with Mordor for which I have applied the "__GL_ShaderPortabilityWarnings=0 %command%" fix.

Quoting: wvstolzingopenSUSE Tumbleweed is my favorite rolling distro.Good choice!
*Way* more reliable than Arch in my experience; nothing arbitrarily breaks every two days.

At my workplace, however, we are still using XP or 2000 and Lotus Notes... :-(

Quoting: GuestLack of a competitive e-mail client is truly the bane of Linux for business. If it wasn't for that, Linux would have a much easier time competing in the business space.I think Thunderbird would hold up very well with its capacity for multiple identities and multiple accounts.

I played the demo of this a while ago, which was available on Itch. Excellent old-school game :-)

Whilst I am very excited about the possibly of a Linux release of this game, there are some interesting comments on the DE:MD Steam forum about one-shot microtransactions!

I'm having trouble starting the game with wine. I've created a 64-bit wineprefix and followed the usual steps to install the game but keep getting the R6025 error. I've installed the VC packages using winetricks but there must be something else that I am missing.
What have you been playing recently and how is it?

Have just finished Life is Strange and thought it was great; rather different to my usual choice of games. I chose the selfish ending :-)
Currently playing Broforce (great fun) and Risk of Rain (horrible controls). Have also been playing the original Serious Sam via Wine. This will keep me going until I can play Doom :-)

I have 183 hours in Goat Simulator, but I'm not sure about this horse game!

QuoteGoat Simulator is just as stupid as this. As Liam said, amusing for five minutes, then you never touch it again. And if you do, whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy?

Salt and Sanctuary, the stylish 2D action RPG is officially out for Linux & SteamOS, Ethan's 38th port
8 July 2016 at 7:30 am UTC
The beta has been around for some weeks. Presumably Ethan Lee did the work on the beta?
Regardless, it's a very good game though I am rubbish at killing the first boss :-)

I've just tried playing the demo under Wine, but there are some DX11 dependencies and all I get is the company logo and then a white screen!
