Quoting: PatolaBut nevertheless, what's in it for you? You'd probably skew the stats against Linux once again... No Linux purchase statistics from you!

You might start it on Linux, wait some weeks (I'd say a month to be sure, that's when payments have usually been arranged) and then play it... wherever. :)

Quoting: Avehicle7887In their own way Nvidia's Linux support is pretty good, and I've been mostly trouble free. There are however a few things which affect me and I also dislike, nominally having to re-install the driver after a kernel update (and I do those a lot), then there's the occasional issue with the driver refusing to install on latest kernels (my Nvidia system is still at kernel 5.5.19 cause of that).

The driver adapts automatically to a new kernel for me (thanks to DKMS I think).

*edit* I'm running kernel 5.6.14 on Debian Buster with backports.

Quoting: BeamboomAll this cheating puzzles me: What exactly are the benefits from all those efforts? Are there economical benefits to speak of here? Or other benefits I am unaware of, other than winning some random online matches against some random people on the internet?

Well, except maybe it triggers some feeling of superiority by winning that I don't get either, there might be a motivation of beating the anti-cheat system, so some technical... achievement. For the latter you wouldn't have to actually often use the cheat, though...

Quoting: vipor29yea that is very confusing you go from 100 down to 57.

That part is fine, it's just the 57th subversion 450 vs. the 100th. subversion of 440.

Like with DXVK, we might even see gamers on Windows using it in future. Yes, that's actually a thing and there's many more like it as it can boost performance on Windows too for older games.

Now that's interesting!

*edit*
Googling for this reddit link, I found another nice one. :D

Quoting: robvvCurrently playing The Bard's Tale IV. A really-good Skyrim-like RPG with many puzzles and good battles!

Never heard this comparison...

Quoting: CFWhitmanI recently went through Portal and Portal 2. I have started The Talos Principle, but to me it is not as engaging as the Portal games.

Storywise? Because some of the puzzles are soo clever! If you want more Portal, "Portal Stories: Mel" is something I can't stop recommending. In hard mode, it's... well... hard. And so satisfying.

A Normal Lost Phone. Too much message, too little game, but ok, it was cheap and not bad.

I'm all fine with respectfully disagreeing...

Quoting: Guestremoving the power inequality from the system won't remove racism, but it's a bloody good start

... and won't even try to find better closing words than these.

Quoting: Purple Library GuyAll that stuff is irrelevant to this case. What's relevant is, Chrome OS has a significant amount of desktop-like market share

This seems to be mainly a US thing to me. According to netmarketshare.com, their significant amount is way below that of Linux. (It doesn't even fit on the first page [External Link]...)
