Quoting: mastereduwould you *really* recommend them to use Linux? Like really? I wouldn't.
I installed Linux on my fiancée's PC and there's no problem with it.

I hope they share bug reports, fixes and code as well, but additionally to that, sharing their games is a good move!

Prepare A New Set Of Pants, Outlast Releases For Linux On Tuesday
2 Apr 2015 at 4:01 pm UTC

Oulast ran very bad on my system (quad core, GTX660, 8 GB), which is well over the recommended specs (GTX460).
I had 12 fps in the main menu(!) and about 10 in the opening scene in the car.
Today they've pushed an update - not even two days after the first bug reports about glitches and less than one day after mine- which is supposed to fix the glitches and for sure fixed my problem. I'm getting 60 fps in menu and in game now.
Hurray!

Quoting: GuestDid you use a Windows partition for gaming last month?
Exclusively for games, not other purposes.

Yes
No
I don't have a Windows partition
This is a really poorly framed question. (It's confusing to parse for a start.) If your primary desktop is Windows, how do you respond?
If you used it for gaming as well, yes, if not, no.
