The game looks like it might be some guilty pleasure. :)

If you haven't got a gaming mom, her PC can be so nice and quite and clean and cheap nowadays...!
I've built one [External Link] for my mother-in-law: G3900 dual core, 4 GB RAM, 250 GB SSD. And Debian [External Link].

Quoting: MaCroX95Wow, I was really starting to get concerned what is going on with their Linux support for VR, seems like Valve will never forget about Linux, they are making it stronger gaming platform slowly but surely :)

Quoting: cxphergmailcomActually, every Linux user I know and all of you here are obviously gamers. It think it's a gross assumption that many aren't.
You mean, people on GamingForLinux and Steam are gamers? Really? Wow.
Yes. You read me right. If you're here and you're not a gamer, then you're at the wrong site.
The random sample you have taken to judge if most Linuxers are gamers is the opposite of random.
