Last day to submit games to our Linux GOTY awards

Quoting: tmtvlWhile I also want to see less Life is Strange in the nominees, I agree with Liam's assessment.
This fits together well... You considered episode 1 a game, played it, it felt unsatisfying (because it's only a small part of the game)... and so you don't like it!

Just joking. Everbody as he (dis)likes!

Dunno if you already want to sorting out input, but here we go:
I liked Life Is Strange very much. But I don't think episode 1 qualifies as a free game. It's more of a big demo.
(But do get it and play it you didn't do yet!)

Quoting: Sgt.Romeo9Aspyr Media announced today that Sid Meier’s Civilization® VI, the next entry in the award-winning Civilization® franchise, which has sold-in over 37 million units, is coming soon to Linux!
This is all Civs together, not the latest one, right?

Quoting: LeopardI remember something like that.Just like 2017 Q1 Deus Ex will be updated for Vulkan.

I m sure i saw that on somewhere but i can't find it right now.
See this:

Edit:
„I can confirm that we will be implementing games for Linux using Vulkan from 2017, but we have no plans to release a Vulkan version of Deus Ex: Mankind Divided. I hope this clears things up!“

Quoting: ajgpAre they?; I thought they had mentioned that the first Vulkan game from them would come in the first half of 2017 but it wasnt Deus Ex, though they may revisit it later on to see.
I looked it up a while ago, and they were stating something about Deus Ex and about Vulkan, explicitly stated that this is not connected, but did not explicitly state that Desus Ex will not use Vulkan. No wonder this created some confusion.

So, probably, there will be no Vulkan version of Deus Ex. I'm fine with the next port using Vulkan anyway. :)

Probably the one obvious question to them:
Which technical problems have held up the port?

Quoting: ShabbyXHave you noticed the "GPU Driver (AMD)" trend graph has over 105% as the sum of free and proprietary drivers for Jan 2017? That graph generally looks weird: the free driver is on a smooth rise, but the proprietary goes up and down... shouldn't they be complementary?
You're right, there's something wrong in the trend statistics.

Quoting: DarkDuoGames[1] The mouse issue - as reported by WorMzy - which may be caused by the "Windows Manager" being used. If anyone could provide feedback that would be great.
I don't think so. For the records, I'm using KDE, but I never experienced such a problem, neither with Unity games nor with others.
