Happy Birthday, GoL!

This site is my only source for Linux gaming news for years now, so please feel the pressure...! ;-)

I loved the comment about waiting for the year of Linux desktop forever together. Let's do this. :wub:

Quoting: tmtvlMeh, I'm more looking forward to what AMD's up to. NVidia doesn't support OSS so it doesn't belong on a Linux system.

Games don't support OSS which means that gaming doesn't belong on a "Linux system".

Yes, games are kernel modules, you linux very good indeed. Bravo.

Didn't find anything about "kernels" here, either:
"NVidia doesn't support OSS so it doesn't belong on a Linux system."
And before you start telling us what "Linux" is:
A "Linux system" is more than this.

Quoting: heidi.wengerNo i don't know, what happened? A gamergate movement? :huh:

It's a long story - which you can really easily find with Google.
It even made it to Wikipedia and paper magazine feuilletons.
No need to reiterate it here.

One point to decide might be:
"Do you want/need more money or do you want more people to experience your work?"

Quoting: BeamboomBut the gamer in me? Oh man, the gamer in me is just SO delightfully happy that he can finally - FINALLY - play Fallout 4. And man, what an experience. What a fantastically detailed universe to explore. Next up, after some hundred hours spent in F4? Then it's probably GTA5. After that? Maybe Cyberpunk 2077?

Oh joy of all joys. Happy times!

Fallout 4, Witcher 3, Kindom Come Deliverance do... pull on me.

My luck ;) is that I'm so short on time that I couldn't play any of them anyway.
(Tyranny, Pillars of Eternity II and Torment: Tides of Numenera are still waiting to even show me their first minutes...)

Doesn't China ship them over the ocean?

Quoting: BeamboomBut if I may ask:
From your perspective, all things considered, does it really matter if Proton or not as long as it works 100% out of the box and on par with native builds? I mean, it's less work for the devs (ergo more profitable per sale) and the same experience for us?

Hm.
* I don't like it.
* I'm disappointed by Linux native gaming not keeping the traction it had (which I only partly accuse Proton for).
* It's technically inferior. Having a binary wrapper fells bad (spoken as software developer).
* Except for the few whitelisted games, it doesn't entitle me for a working game. (Whatever that in reality might be worth for a port...)
* It feels plain wrong to run Windows Exes on Linux.

So... It's a mixture of feelings, technically based gut feeling, call-it-ideology, legal based bad feelings, ...

I don't want to be third class citizen in these aspects.

Though I don't know what to do it native Linux gaming keeps losing traction.

I might buy Windows 10, or I might use Proton (which I might hide from the sales statistic).
Dunno.

Quoting: STiATHuh, first time I read it. Not at home today, will buy it later at their price, I like point&click adventures.

It's a demo, so it's for free (or whatever you want to pay).

The author sure needs money, but he would also be happy about likes and comments as well for some visibility.
