Congrats AMD! i was worried they were going to be too late...this looks promising

Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II and expansions look like they are coming to Linux & SteamOS

Played both DoW and DoWII, they are both excellent, though more base building in the original DoW.
This plus Warhammer Total War! Fans of the Warhammer universe rejoice! (I'm still enjoying the 2 Space Hulk titles as well, plus the slightly less exciting Warhammer Quest)

I really really hate the way new Linux releases don't show up on Steam as new releases if they've been on Windows first. They must fix this. No wonder some of these smaller devs suffer when porting to Linux and getting not enough exposure.

What I find interesting is the difference between GL and Vulkan..
It's probably not that interesting. I don't understand the inner workings of Vulkan, but very likely the overlay screws with the communication with the GPU right now. That's probably something Valve will fix in the longer term.

I don't particularly like Mark Hamill as an actor, but he's seem really great as a voice actor, impressed.

Wait for Witcher 3. I know it's hard, but I'm almost 100% sure it will come, potentially with Vulkan. Just be patient.
