Quoting: GuestOuch, just 2 native games out of 20 :/

I see it as 10%, which is ten times as much as the official quota of Linux users reported by Steam (1%).

Which sounds good.

OTOH, we could say that 15% of titles cannot work on Linux whatsoever.

Which doesn't sound good.

Well, most Blizzard products were known to run well under WINE since dirt was invented - to the point of speculating if somebody internally was smoothing them at the edges on purpose to keep some sort of unsupported-but-working compatibility...

...And it's 70% discounted in the newly started Steam Sales! :grin:

I'm a long, long time user of KDE; I've kept defaults, I changed everything, I left only the bare k-tools, I added them all, I themed every desktop/activity, and fiddled with per-window and per-app settings.

I don't care how much (or little) customizability KDE gives me. Usually it's plenty.

I care about one thing, and one thing only.

A simple, one click, RELIABLE, system-wide, PORTABLE, forever-supported way of doing two tasks:

1. Save all the settings, geometries, fonts, menu items and orders, colors, thicknesses, EVERYTHING for all K/Qt apps, in a text file called "${HOME}/all_my_kde_settings.cfg"

2. Restore all the settings, geometries, fonts, menu items and orders, colors, thicknesses, EVERYTHING for all K/Qt apps, from a text file called "${HOME}/all_my_kde_settings.cfg"

So I won't want to rip my soul yet again if I have to prime another machine like my ultra-customized main rig.

I'd love a serious competitor to Steam like everyone else.

But the deal breaker is how much the hypotetical competitor wants/can/would/will pour into Linux gaming.

The day the competitor has an online store *AND* pushes Linux gaming as much as Valve is doing with Proton, I'll switch.

Not a second earlier, though.

I put my money where my mouth is. You don't support my OS, I won't support your monopoly-toppling effort. Simple as that.

My forecast for Mistlands:
- spiders, big and bigger
- lightning attacks/resistance
- dark/eerie biome, but dry as opposed to the wet Swamp

Kubuntu user since 10.04, so I'm trying my best to keep my bias at bay.

One thing, however, bothers me to no end. Plasma is good, flexible and all, but on laptops has been (until VERY recently) a mess with multimonitor and dock/undock while running.

And not all problems have been solved. For such a venerable, well developed and successful piece of software, some of its (historical!) shortcomings are quite disappointing.

Fortunately, lots of skilled people keep working on that, and I'm sure this will soon be a distant memory. But still, a painful one.

The question remains: does it ships with speculative cache bugs?

25 years and still waiting for a decent way to handle multimonitors, panels and display layout on a frequently docked/undocked laptop.

I still prefer Empyrion.
