Quoting: TheBossWe covered that, but they also gave an update:

I understood this back then like "We don't want to upset anyone - but better don't bet on more Linux games from us."
I love to be wrong about this. :)

Quoting: KeyrockWill it be like Pillars of Eternity or will it actually be fun? :P

Yes, both! :p

I really liked the pausable real-time combat by the way.
I will see if Original Sin's turn-based combat is as good for me...

No, seriously: That's good news!

Quoting: Zeloxwhen I changed destros alot I got the survey with every install.
Iv got it once or twice in windows. But I got that survey alot more in linux.
I dont know the logic behinde the apperience of the survey

What comes to my mind for the first time, sorry if it has been said a million times before...

If they use the data taken from (e. g.) you over all the months (not only in the month it has been asked for), there's no need to ask again. You'd just be in the data pool. They would only need to query again if, say, your hardware would have changed.

That said, it would make my test from post 2 meaningless. Maybe I can trigger the survey, but it would just change my recorded data, not add 1 to the Linux users counted.

That's a very interesting write up, thank you!

I've got two machines at home at the moment where one didn't ever run Steam (built a Debian box for my future mother-in-law) and the other one probably didn't either (my fiancée's Debian box). I'll give it a try today, let's see if we can get a survey popup...

Quoting: ElectricPrismPass. $800 for a headset that requires performance from CPU's and GPU's that barely exist yet.

Maybe developers are excited, but as a gamer I'm not sure I'll ever be excited by VR.

When it's near you (and cheaper perhaps): Do try it out.
It's like having sat in front of a monitor for decades
- and then suddenly stepping into the monitor.

Quoting: KimyrielleHandling graphics drivers in Linux is still an absolute pain and is probably THE single biggest obstacle for the average user to get a Linux based system ready for halfway serious gaming. Both AMD but also NVidia have to get their act together eventually and release something that installs with one click, you know...like in Windows. Right now we're a far cry from that. And no, NVidia isn't much better. Optimus. 'nuff said.

For ordinary cases, I feel this is handled quite optimal, at least on Debian. "apt-get install nvidia-driver". Handles kernel updates gracefully as well.
