Quoting: CyrilWonderful, can't wait to try the native version as I already have the Windows version from GOG.
But I'm wondering, what is the difference between this new Linux release and the old one?

As far as I know, they just couldn't upload it to Steam until now.

YES!
Heard very good things about it!
And the developers are the kind of people that want to offer their games to as many people as possible and are porting for this reason.

The original is a very good game. If you're into point and click and maybe some more lines of text than strictly necessary for the story, you should get this one!

Quoting: PublicNuisanceIs anybody else getting fed up with limited time demos ? I don't even bother with them anymore. I work six days a week, not going to schedule time to play a damn demo.

Well, while it sure would be nicer to have the demo around without time limit, my happiness that demos are a thing again is way bigger. I play one if I find the time - and if not, it's not like I've lost something compared to not so long ago, when most games didn't have a demo in the first place.

Quoting: slaapliedjeI saw Enlightenment DR13 on the web and wanted a prettier desktop, that started my road down the Linux path.

"up" is the word you've been searching for! ;)

Quoting: PhiladelphusAfter growing up exclusively with Windows (never even used a Mac), I discovered when I started my astronomy degree that no one in astronomy uses Windows (it's all Linux or macOS). I remember being a bit weirded out and repulsed when I first installed Ubuntu and tried to use it back in 2010 (I've just discovered I even wrote a very angry blog post [External Link] about it :whistle:). However, through exposure to it at work and the help of a very knowledgeable good friend, by 2014 when I built my first gaming desktop I put Linux Mint Debian Edition on it and haven't looked back since. Other than a switch to Debian and a graphics card upgrade from my brother I'm still typing on that very desktop (ok, I also had to replace a RAM module that failed), though I'm hoping to finally do some major upgrades next year. I also just discovered that I wrote a blog post [External Link] five years ago for Linux's 25th birthday complaining about using Windows 8 at work (which I genuinely do not remember using at this point), so how the tables have turned!

(Look forward to my upcoming blog post, "MacOS, how do I loathe thee? Let me count the ways…" :grin:)

Thanks for sharing! Did you ever write up what made you change your mind this much? :)

Quoting: NezchanYup, it's always better to have a game when it's ready than one pushed to an arbitrary deadline. Less need/excuse for crunch, a more developed product, and a little anticipation is good seasoning.

I guess though in this case it's already a big anticipation for those waiting... ;)

I joined 23 years ago. (Yes, I bet some of you have been around even longer. :) )

Happy Birthday, Tux! (I declare this Tux' birthday as well.)

Quoting: setzer22Why are all those linux hardware vendors so disconnected from the reality of the products they sell? Nvidia is *not*, to this date, a viable alternative for Linux day to day usage.

Can't say for laptops, but for desktops it absolutely is. I never used an other GPU for a long, long time. (Last one before was a Matrox if I remember correctly. :D )

No problem with waiting, I just hope they are able to do what they aimed for...
