I like to read articles about classic games for Linux.
Interestingly, Hopkins FBI is a much easier game to finish than a Windows version.

Linux needs to be pre-installed on more hardware to hit mainstream

I don't understand it.
I need some explanation.
Linux is going to be more competitive than Windows - it sounds unrealistic.
Linux has been losing with Apple for the last 16 years. Linux can't even win with one Unix vendor. Really?
Apple has loyal users that aren't magically disappearing. They pay incredible money for the software and games for Mac.
You want to fight about first place on the podium, then first you should know how to win second place. That is the Apple position, and it's not going to be easy to win with them. It's about our wallets.

I don't even see too many posts on their forums about Conquest of Elysium 4.

Quoting: Liam DaweBoth of those help to prove my point. Raspberry Pi is well-known and the official OS is Linux. Steam Deck is already well known, will likely sell well and runs Linux.Raspberry Pi is a computer for people that treat it as a toy. I don't even think about commercial games because we know that Runesoft was almost completely ignored by them.

All users visiting this website can install AROS or Haiku OS on their computers, and companies don't even notice or care about it.
They will see how much money they get for applications for Linux and Mac. In this case, they will know which operating system should support. Users of an operating system that doesn't generate enough money get an incredibly beautiful message about discontinuing support for their platform.
That is the answer that I get from people that aren't computer enthusiasts.

Linux distros usually have bug trackers, mailing list, GitHub Issues where actual devs can answer. And with Linux if you're willing you can actually dig down and find out what's the problem, even contribute to fixing it.Github? Bug trackers? What are you talking about?

I remember that in the Revolution OS, Linus said that nobody really uses the operating system because people use programs. Seriously, we can't force people to use Linux on all popular computers because they will remove it after buying it.
In my view, Linux is an excellent alternative for other versions of Unix like Solaris, BSD, AIX, HP-UX Mac OS X, and so on. We can't compete with Windows and all companies that support it.
However, the main focus of Linux users should be buying more software and games than macOS users. We don't need users that criticize Apple because companies don't get any money from them. They don't need them.
I remember that Linux was more popular than Mac for more than a few years. However, we lost with loyal users that support companies that have published applications for Mac.

This is useful if I have a list of files that I need for the specific source port.

Quoting: rea987Thanks.Quoting: gbudnyI hope that someone create a Linux installer for this mod because I don't like to use Wine even for installing games on Linux.It's possible to extract the .exe with innoextract 1.9+ but it extracts all files, meaning not being able to select proper source port.

Great!
I have waited for 17 years to play a single-player mode in Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory.

Great!
I still have some digital and boxed versions of games like Postal 2 (LGP), Eric's Ultimate Solitaire, Heavy Metal: FAKK 2, Candy Cruncher, and so on. I don't even count how many times I played Postal 2 and Lugaru on Linux.
It's such a shame that he probably didn't get paid to finish the Linux version of Medal of Honor. It's an excellent game, and I know the Linux version is buggy. However, I don't regret that I spend about 17$ to buy an old computer to run Medal of Honor for Linux without any crashes. It was a great game when kernel 2.4 was popular on PCs, and I highly recommend it.
