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...

How big is Linux gaming? Some estimates

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.

Quoting: Zeloxwhen I changed destros alot I got the survey with every install.What comes to my mind for the first time, sorry if it has been said a million times before...

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...

It's like having sat in front of a monitor for decades

Quoting: ElectricPrismPass. $800 for a headset that requires performance from CPU's and GPU's that barely exist yet.When it's near you (and cheaper perhaps): Do try it out.
Maybe developers are excited, but as a gamer I'm not sure I'll ever be excited by VR.

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.

Quoting: rkfgI like your directory layout argument (and the conclusion). But Mac doesn't seem to be a strong argument, as VP is doing Mac wrappers as well, it seems.Quoting: elmomDon't you people read previous comments? Like mine (count 5 backwards).I read that and I was aware of that fact even before. I based my guess on the quoted link to a certain post. You see, the problem is the game isn't being ported only to Linux but also to Mac. Your post about Sam doesn't say anything about Mac so it's possible they outsourced the task to Feral (maybe gave them what they did for Linux to lower the costs).
A Dev (Sam on the Steam forums) of the game has been porting the game on personal time, but actual release is not very likely currently, since it involves per os middleware licencing costs.

Quoting: ripperWhile it would be fine, I care much, much more about the "Linux" part.Quoting: EikeHe said "Linux"! :DToo bad they still can't say "Windows":
it can work on PC, Linux and other platforms
