Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen. It's Monster Hunter meets Skyrim with a little Shadow of the Colossus mixed in. There's just no other game like it.

It'd be nice if games would actually work on Linux. Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition no longer works because of an OpenSSL update which isn't backwards compatible, and Civ V just doesn't start without any helpful error message.

I have a PS3, but rather than getting a PS4 for newer titles I think I'll just set up a decent Win10 gaming rig, at least that'll last me a longer time with better performance.

For the games that no longer work on a decent up-to-date distro I could try a Debian derivative, but I'd rather chew my arm off. The .deb package format is a crime against humanity and should be outlawed under the Geneva Convention.

Quoting: scaineGotcha. Honestly, I'd have given KDE a shot if I'd known that. But I'm glad this fixes it for me, since I do prefer gnome to KDE. Although, my last KDE trip was back in the early KDE4 days so that's probably not a fair comparison.

I haven't used GNOME since like 3.22 or something, but last time I tried, KDE had way~ better multiscreen support.

Quoting: PhiladelphusSerious question: is right-clicking the game icon in the task bar and selecting "Move to the other monitor" not a feature on most desktops?

Well, you're assuming the application doesn't capture the mouse and doesn't behave weirdly when moved between monitors.

That said, I have "switch between monitors" bound to ctrl-alt-left/right, which also helps me run applications when one of my monitors is showing a different machine.

I find that KDE's display configuration works pretty well. But for awesome I had to set up my xorg.conf.d correctly.

Note that for outdated Xorg versions you don't have to specifically configure device and screen, but for an up to date Xorg they will need to be configured correctly.

I have my personal setup up on GitHub [External Link] for reference.

Huh, when I add liamdawe to my block list, I can still see his articles, guess it only works on comments (j/k).

Quoting: lucifertdarkWe each have the ultimate ignore function at our disposal already, it's called the power button, if I don't like something I just switch off my machine, walk away & do something else.

But that requires people to have a shred of self-discipline, and that is just too much to ask.

Quoting: elbuglioneStop GOG advertising, they are NOT Linux friendly.

My GOG account has over 200 Linux games that would say otherwise.

I don't want their client, so I don't really care if they ever make it for Linux, so long as they continue to sell Linux games.

That does not really say anything about GOG being Linux friendly though, I bet most of those are on Steam too, with client, auto-updates, cloud saving and refunds. Just because you don't care about client, comfort and all that support around is strange exception. Good for you if you don't care, but you should maybe try to understand that it matters to a lot of people.

"Client" funny way of spelling DRM.

Steam is not your friend. Just because they decide they want to milk Linux users as well does not make them Linux-friendly. It simply makes them indiscriminate vultures.

Now to wait for Drakensang to be ported to Linux and I'll be happy as a clam in chowder.
