[...] and the "image-based updater work" is actually towards improving live USB media to update them without losing user data.

I wondered what this is about, looked it up and they're saying it "is part of a set of efforts to attempt to improve the experience of trying out Linux on a normal PC with live USB media". So they're also making efforts to help people try out Linux and eventually switch systems. :)

Quoting: noxThis game is absolutely fantastic and I highly recommend it!
The dev has also been pretty nice and open, and linux and mac seems to have a healthy priority for them.

Thanks, I've been looking for a recommendation...

Hadean Lands. Dozens of hours. It's a text adventure (a genre called interactive fiction nowadays), so great and so difficult...

Quoting: orochi_kyoI always heard in politics this thing about the 1% deciding over 99%. And now in video games is happening too, 1% deciding over the rest of the people who doesnt care about VR.

Actually, it's developers and publishers who decide (and always did). That's as true for Alyx as it would be for a non-VR HL3.

From their update news [External Link]:

* Linux graphics glitch fixed.

[...]

For linux users we still have some known issues with fullscreen and exiting the game that won’t be fixed in this patch.

For our next update the main focus is:

Mod-support. We are almost there, but want to test it properly before launching it.
More linux fixes.

Quoting: KandarihuLast night, I read something about the United Nations having a plan for their Agenda 21 that by the year 2030, they'll have it that governments and major corporations will own everything.

This being a plan of the UN sounds every unrealistic. Could you name a (quality) source?

Quoting: 0aTTOn the PC desktop, Linux will never prevail. That ship has sailed. The PC is replaced by tablets and phones.

I can imagine a world though where everybody's gone to tablets and streaming and I'm still sitting at my Linux PC. World domination for a way smaller market. ;)

Bertazi also mentioned how they will continue to support for Linux games "both natively and emulated", and on a personal note they mentioned their wish to see more open source games.

They're really trying to please everyone...

I'm pleased. :grin:

Thanks to The Linux Foundation, I was able to attend and listen to the talk (the online event requires a ticket purchase)

That's nice, they're supporting your work (or at least did this time)?
