BioShock Infinite Looks Set For A Linux Release (CONFIRMED)
7 Dec 2014 at 3:57 pm UTC

Quoting: nspacestdWow this is awesome! One of my favourite games ever! Too bad I've already finished it on Windows...

But I'll definitely play it again when it comes out for Linux.
I did not yet play the DLCs, so I'd love to buy those for Linux.

WOW.

If you don't yet own it, get it and play it when it has got the penguin.

It is GREAT.

Porting Civilization: Beyond Earth, Dev Update 6 From Aspyr Media (UPDATED)

Quoting: BeamboomIf I understand correctly these are issues they are having with ATI and Intel across all platforms, not just Linux. So it seems we should not be too quick to jump on the conclusion that the Linux drivers suck. At least not solely.
In their blog, it's under the heading "Linux Status".

GOG & Steam Both Hit Milestones For Linux Games

Quoting: LinasWhen this first started, I remember eagerly waiting for news on any new Linux release. Now I am actually losing track of things. Just a few months ago it was 600, and now it is 800. I have to admit that I have a very faint idea of what these 200 are... I guess this is a good thing, right?
I keep hearing from Windows ... - let's call 'em users - in Linux threads that I would restrict myself artificially using Linux. Yeah, I do. Restricting myself to only 800 games which I cannot keep track of either, and more games on my stack that I actually have time to play. Makes my cry all night...!

I'm playing Wasteland 2 at the moment, over 40 hours already and many more to come, with Borderland 2 and The Witcher 2 (get the beta, it runs much better!) and Risk of Rain and Penumbra and The Fall and Nihilumbra and others waiting...

Quoting: HamishMight I suggest chaps we do not turn this into a Phoronix styled anti/pro Lennart Poettering fur-fight?

Just a suggestion...
I did not find any message you might be referring to.

Quoting: sub"I don't know what my sound system is, but it never worked as expected."
Yes, it's probably PulseAudio, but who knows...
In this case, I'd expect that people do care and at least try to fix it.
Even if it's to no further avail, afterwards they should know which sound system does not work for them. ;)

Quoting: XylemonSomething that would interest me (but maybe not others) is what sound system Linux users have. It would be interesting to see how many use ALSA solely, or in combination with JACK or PulseAudio, or they use OSS4 and forget ALSA altogether.
If you're adding such an extra question, you'd probably need "I don't know what my sound system is, it just worked out-of-the-box" kind of answer.

By the way, the result for 32 vs. 64 bit is very interesting. For example, the demo of Making History: Great War was not able to run on 64 bit at all and it seemed the developers were totally unaware of that possibility. If I would have had this result, I would have pointed them here.
