Quoting: Mountain ManAs far as I know, Valve is still actively supporting Steam for Linux and SteamOS, so why the doom and gloom? This was always a long-term project for them.

I'm honestly asking: Anythng they've (visibly) done, say, this year?
Besides doing basic maintenance on Steam for Linux?

Quoting: InverseTelecineSo... will this be on Linux? I'm assuming that since we're talking about it, it at least hopefully will be. Has it been officially confirmed or anything?

I literally ctrl-f'ed this article and comments looking for "linux." :)

I did the same on the linked article [External Link], and voila:
BATTLETECH is a turn-based, tactical 'Mech combat game for PC. (And Mac and Linux!)

No, don't anybody whine about the "PC" wording - let's celebrate a new interesting announcement!

I had bought part one without realizing that it's episodic. :-/
Didn't yet play it.

Quoting: STiATThe reason they disappeared is that his account was deleted.

That would be good news, but doesn't look like it:

Quoting: dmantioneIf you look at Feral, they never get specific what is wrong on AMD's side. They just point the finger.

I see the difference. I always felt like this was meant as less finger-poniting, not more. But yes, it's nice to have concrete public information about problems. Might help others, too.

Quoting: dmantioneThere is nothing beta about the OpenGL implementation in AMDGPU-PRO, so if they intend to support that, there is nothing that stops them doing that right now. Unless they depend on very recent bug-fixes, that will automatically bring Catalyst support on the table as well.

So if I answer your question what I want: Support (or fixes?) for AMDGPU-PRO.

Here's one of their statements about AMD drivers and their games:

Quoting: tmtvlWhat about people who installed plain Ubuntu and afterwards installed the superior Plasma DE themselves?

I wonder how many would have installed Kubuntu in the first place. I'm changing DEs without reinstalling as well, though. That's why I have no entry at desktop at the moment BTW: I'm still wondering if I stay with KDE or move to Cinnamon (after... a decade or so?).

Quoting: TacoDeBossI'm trying to learn some programming so when the mod comes out, I *might* be able to port it to Linux, since they're open-sourcing the code and maps.

Cool, good luck!

Quoting: TacoDeBossNot that this wasn't a pain either. Half-Life 1 and Xash3D are 32-bit code meaning I have to chroot into a 32-bit Debian partition if I want to compile either.

Maybe cross-compiling (amd64->i386) could be useful here?
(If not, VirtualBox makes it really easy to work with VMs...)
