What one game would blow your mind if it came to Linux & SteamOS?

If I get a second shot, ignoring Bethesda for once, I'd be really curious for Kingdom Come: Deliverance.

I kindly ask moderation to ask this person not to spread its prejudices on this website.

Quoting: reaVerExcept the internet was designed for precisely that. This is not a dating site and most AAA games are not dating sims, we really do not care what gender/sexuality/blablabla the person on the other side of the wire has. Heck, we don't even care what the person looks like.

The person in question has no right to berate people(/gamers/LGBTQ gamers) over their choice of games (and he just did) just because the game somehow managed to offend this delicate snowflake. I don't care whether it's fallout, gta or even rapelay; because what people play is none of his damn business.
Yes, you can be someone else or somewhat propertyless on the internet - but you must not be forced to be, it's your choice, not other people's choice. (And no, the internet was not designed for that (obviously).)

As you can see (on page page 20 in this admitedly long thread) I critized him for what he said as well. But this doesn't make better what you said: "There is no place for LGBTQ people in gaming." There must be a place for all people in gaming, and nobody must be forced to take off his identity at the entrance.

Back to Fallout 4, I still don't know what's homophobic about it, but if it really is, that's something people must be allowed to criticize.

Identity is not something you can take off like a coat.

Quoting: tmtvlAlso, so many people choosing Fallout 4, that is why LGBTQ people don't feel welcome in video gaming. I'm am disappointed and ashamed that such a homophobic game gets such a warm reception.
1) I've never heard of such accusations against Fallout 4. So people longing for Fallout IV - also those who care - might just not have heard of anything bad about it. Might you consider not condemning those?

2) I've done a short search for homophobic stuff in Fallout 4, and the first result was absolutely rediculous. There's a man and a woman, married, they get a child and give it a girl's name, which was "extremely traumatizing" for the author. The rant was absolutely and undenieably heterophobic. I hope that this was not your point, so might I ask you to give some pointers about real problems with Fallout 4?

Nearly 4 years later, Steam still won’t close to the tray icon on Linux without workarounds

Quoting: Shmerl"Closing to tray icon" is actually a bad practice according to desktop design guidelines. "System tray" is a notification area, and not a place for showing running applications. Situation when application is not shown on the task bar (or whatever UI element is used for showing all running applications) and is still running is not correct - it breaks general UI consistency.

There were several articles on this subject.
I disagree. I like my KAlarm, KMix, KShutdown et al running and showing tray icons without full-fledged windows.

Quoting: MintedGamerI think it would be nice to keep the best porter award, a certain company has done an absolutely stellar job for Linux users this year and I think it would be good to recognise and award them
Totally agreed.

Quoting: cprnI sometimes feel like I don't belong here. Did you really, guys, play that many of this year's releases to the point you're comfortable with judging them? My backlog is like... 1998. Literally. I'll start Baldur's Gate somewhere in December.
I know that feeling. But I just vote for what I know. I bought and played those for a reason...

Quoting: liamdaweBiggest Surprise release has replaced best porter (since that was obvious who it would be)
I think they would still have liked the price.
But, whatever...

Congratulations go to Feral!
Keep it up, guys and girls!
