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...

Quoting: Purple Library GuyMind you, anyone can say Lynch and Cronenberg. Let us know if the reality matches up.

Like mentioning Monkey Island when you're doing point and click. :D

Quoting: slaapliedjeSomeone above had mentioned that Lutris is going to be available in the next Ubuntu. That's because it was officially packaged for Debian. They basically just inherit what Debian does, and then make changes to their kernel and some other packages, and retag as they build the packages to have _ubuntu_ in them. So even if Debian is considered 'old'. People should pay it some respect for spawning a huge amount of Linux distributions.

I've been maintaining a Debian package and didn't pull in an update of the program for a long time. There hasn't been done anything to update it in Ubuntu. When I uploaded the update, it automatically came to Ubuntu as well. So usually, Debian unstable will at least as new or newer than anything in Ubuntu for most packages.

Wonder if they're using Simple DirectMedia Layer... ;-)

Quoting: bepopIf you don't have a point of reference (Windows version running on Windows) you may think that there are no performance issues...

I don't own the game in question, but my reference is "How is it running natively on my Linux PC?".
(No, I can't judge porting with that, but it's the one thing I care about.)
