Quoting: dziadulewiczNo thanks; i rather send my monys to Steam because they have a native Linux client and support Linux in other ways too. Epig (typed correctly) and GOG are out of the question for me until they support Linux in a sound way. Yes.
What's better, a forced client as a form of DRM or (playing a free game with) no client?

Got my start on Ubuntu, and while I haven't tried it in a while I'm sure Kubuntu is a perfectly ok place to play games on.

Mastodon all the way for me. Nextcloud's take on social is interesting too to say the least, I run a Nextcloud instance for me and my friends on a Pi 400, doubt that thing can handle social at the same time though, haha..

omg! Didn't know this game got a PC port, it's one of those I wanted a PS5 to play *specifically*. Thanks for reporting on it, Liam! :grin:

Seems like a perfect fit for handheld too.
