Quoting: PhlebiacAh, thanks! Shows how much attention I pay to badges, even though the top one claims I am a "Gaming God". :huh:

2000 games or more?!? :O

AFAIR,

Feral is using a soure layer (wrapper) to translate graphics calls. The whole game is compiled for Linux. This is called porting.

VP uses a wrapper for Windows binaries. They help you running EXE files if you will. (Probably it's DLLs.)

Quoting: PhlebiacI think I only ran TF2 long enough to get that in my inventory... :whistle:

I missed this opportunity. :-(

Where do you find that? I couldn't find it in my profile...

You get a badge every year.

Quoting: TiedemannMaybe we get some nice Kodi boxes out of this :)

Isn't an Intel IGP good enough for Kodi? I feel this would be overpowered.

Quoting: stretch611By helping AMD, Intel keeps regulators off its back by avoiding being labeled a monopoly. (While the current US administration is unlikely to care about monopolies, the EU does tend to take a stronger stance against them, and of course there is a lot of CPUs sold in the EU.)

I don't think so. It's not forbidden not to have competitors - it's forbidden to abuse the powers that come with it.

Quoting: liamdaweIf my memory serves me correctly, it was not a hat, but something attached to your belt?

Now this is wild and crazy. Just when AMD attacked them on the CPU front...

Wasn't it the only incentive ever of Valve for Windowsers to try Linux? :)

I had joined the beta in early Decembre [External Link]. At the end of Decembre, I wrote a blog post [External Link]. Citing:

Yesterday, for the first time I have bought a professional game for Linux. If gaming on Linux would establish itself, after all the time I used Windows solely as a gaming platform, I could finally delete my Windows partition.

Of course, this is illusory at the moment. There are about 40 games for Linux on Steam, and I don't even know most of them. But who knows... maybe, a start has been made.

I did delete my Windows partition at April, 8th 2014.
