Quoting: thekraken8himValve's commitment to be truly platform agnostic never ceases to impress me. While most tech platforms work tirelessly to build walled gardens, Valve seems to be constantly building new paths and still making boatloads of money. I really hope the rest of the industry takes note.

Quoting: KlaasWell… the walled garden is the shop with the games. The device is just a gimmick to sell more games, so it makes sense for them to supported other hardware.

Quoting: eldakingOh, it's just Valve casually putting in work to fix and improve their competitors' products. Nothing big. :grin:

(Yes, I know the reason they do it is because their main business is the game store and not the hardware. Still impressive and unusual for these days of platform lock-in)

I bought it, the Linux version is an AppImage and it works perfectly. Purchase goes through the Humble Store which is convenient.

The game itself feels very familiar, in a good way, same gameplay but there are some interesting new species of Goo. It feels more difficult than I remember the first one being but levels are skippable if you just want to push ahead.

I mean, I'm very positive and all, but actually that graph makes it kind of clear: We're talking about 1% in 2 1/2 years. At that rate, in 25 years we'll be at 12%. World domination in under 250 years!
That said, significantly faster than the Linux desktop share grew from ~2000 to 2022, so still seems like pretty good times!

Maybe there will be a 6.66 and later a 6.69 Kernel :>

Quoting: Purple Library GuyThis seems cute, but I kind of wish things like this got a little more original. Like, the people are frogs, supposedly. OK, but they're living exactly like humans--it's just a reskin of a generic human-village-maker. They're making hard flagstoned paths to walk on, the houses they make to live in are human style because of course frogs would want to live somewhere dry, they appear to be doing agriculture because of course frogs would eat vegetables not bugs, they're doing their fishing from a dock . . .

It would be cooler if instead of making farms, they were making swamps, and if their homes were built part-underwater, and stuff. If there was some effort to think what the lifestyle of humanoid frogs might be like.
