The absolutely best thing about it is that I can finally play Windows games on SteamOS with *zero* tinkering! My kids will love this!

I can wait and buy when all episodes are out, but I wonder what keeps Feral delayed with BtS, hopefully some other, yet unannounced Linux ports. ;-)

I might back this if they port Four Last Things, no point in playing just the sequel. As it stands, I'll wishlist it at best.

Quoting: Leopard
Quoting: pbI'm still waiting to be able to play RotTR on SteamOS non-beta. Maybe in 3.0...
Why?

You can play with that update?

Drivers are very up-to-date , kernel is also ok. Even LLVM is in a good shape.
I'm on stable, last time I tried the game said my gfx was not supported. I think stable steamos still doesn't ship vulkan for nvidia.

A developer from Bohemia Interactive wants to know your interest in the Arma 3 Linux port

Well, I bought it as soon as they added the Linux beta, along with some dlc's, but ultimately I'm not playing it as it was too hard for me (I got stuck in the sniping tutorial)...

Quoting: buenaventuraIs this free or what? I never figured that out. My kids undoubtedly will be happy about this.
No it's not free.
OK, but there is one version that is? When I installed ArchLabs, it offered to install minecraft for me, I didnt say yes, but I got to thinking... Is there a free version or what?
You can install the launcher and then the game, and you can play it for 100 minutes without the ability to save (but then you can start from scratch and play for another 100 minutes). So that might be enough fun for the kids. When you buy the game, you can play for as long as you want and of course your world will persist between sessions.

You can also try Minetest, which is not as advanced but equally fun, and totally free. The tutorial "world" is pretty cool, explaining all the features and even contains two types of collectibles, my kids really enjoyed it.

Nice timing, I was just wondering if Commandos get ported to Linux, as I was purchasing the freshly ported Desperados. :-)

Play It Now - Transistor

Quoting: ShabbyXThis game is nothing but awesome. If you haven't played it, you need to Play it Now!

@pb, played this with a keyboard and mouse and it worked well. Didn't try with a controller.
Thanks. I played Bastion with keyboard+mouse but I had a feeling it would be better with a controller. I'll probably try both ways with Transistor.
