"Did you exclusively buy Linux games last month?"
"Yes/No"

How about "I didn't buy any games last month"?
Unless activating my copy of Pillars of Eternity counts, which I backed way back when.

EDIT: Also, a number of games run better under Wine then natively on my system, take that for what it's worth.

My Sharkoon Drakonia also works out of the box without having to do extra configuration, it has 7 buttons and a switch to increase or decrease the mouse sensitivity. What I like is that the 6th button (a button on the lower left side of the mouse) by default functions as double click, which will probably help me avoid carpal tunnel in the foreseeable future.

Quoting: FutureSutureI see that you use openSUSE. Is that openSUSE 13.2 or openSUSE Tumbleweed you are using? I hope to not sound condescending by saying this, but open source graphics drivers on Linux benefit from the latest Linux and Mesa updates. Do you have the latest version of Linux and Mesa?

Well, I dualboot OpenSUSE and Arch and both have the same problem, so unless I should switch to Arch testing or use the KOTD in OpenSUSE, I don't think updating will make too much of a difference.

Funnily enough I switched to OpenSUSE because when Arch rolled to... 3.14 I think (maybe 3.16?), even simply watching a video under the OS drivers would cause a kernel panic. While before that I had no problems whatsoever.

EDIT again: So many people having good experiences with the OS driver, maybe my card is simply cursed or something. There should be more lists of what hardware works well under Linux and what doesn't.

As someone with an AMD card believe me, the OS driver isn't nearly as good as some people claim it is.
X-COM:EU/EW locks the GPU. Anything even remotely taxing will run like a car with cubic wheels.

EDIT: For who is curious: AMD Radeon HD 7770 Cape Verde.

Running OS drivers on my Radeon HD 7770 is terrible, X-COM:EU keeps locking up my CPU after about 30 minutes of gameplay. Happens both under Arch and under OpenSUSE 13.2.

I'm a Linux user before I am a gamer ( but neither is #1 for me).
That said, I have had terrible experiences gaming on Linux (X-COM locking up my GPU, wine updates breaking compatibility with Dark Souls, DS2, Fallout:NV and Drakensang, Unity3D games being horribly buggy messes on release, distros without good multilib support not having access to PCSX2,...) so I'm debating setting up a Windows drive under QEMU for some peace of mind.

As long as ZSNES and PCSXR keep working properly I can keep gaming on Linux, though, and I'm slowly starting to experiment with PlayOnLinux which seems promising.

Didn't buy any games last month, so said no to 'buy only Linux games' and none to 'Linux games bought'. Also left all vendors unselected, didn't know if I should've put "didn't buy games" under 'other'.

So, that's with the open-source driver, right? [/troll]

TBH, though that's some pretty cool specs for gaming hardware.

*Sigh* I liked SR and loved Dragonfall. Unfortunately Kickstarter runs through Amazon, which is terrible, so I'll have to wait until a site that does allow either Paypal or Bitcoin comes along.
