Postal Redux Coming From RunningWithScissors, And It's Confirmed For Linux With UE4
16 November 2014 at 1:49 pm UTC

Postal 1 never worked in my case, I killed everyone and then I couldn't access to any map :( Thats was annoying, because I tried several times on linux and windows.
I hope this UE4 port will finally work properly.

Rich Geldreich On The State Of Linux Gaming, And It's Not Good

Many benchmarks have shown than the nvidia driver runs similar on both OS, so to think than the ports are not optimized as good as possible (or opengl is not that good) makes sense. I mean, if those are not the reason, and the nvidia driver is supposed to have similar performance on both OS? what else could it be? the kernel? (I dont think so). Just saying.

Quoting: Astro
Quoting: BeamboomThis right here is what I talk about in my post above. Ferals work on Xcom is the exact opposite of garbage, it's one of the best ports to Linux so far, and to sit an spew out stuff like this on forums on the net... We're just in no position whatsoever to do so!
A lot of people contact me after reading my comments about Feral. We talk and I recommend them contact Feral and ask them don't port any more games on linux. So, I don't need to argue with you here. Sorry, nothing personal. What I need is just leaving my comments and do what I do.
So, they port Xcom to 64 bits, your current distro is 32 bits (in a 64 bits able hardware), and you want them to stop porting games to the linux platform just because you dont want to reinstall your distro?
I really want to understand your point, but when I try I fail. Maybe you should contact steam support for a refund, that would make more sense, but I guess it's not possible due to you should had read the requirements of the game before buy it.

I think icculus should stop new projects and focus on fixing the ones than already exist, how is possible than Goat simulator still not works at all? This article just prove that point.

Steam Hardware Survey For October 2014, Linux Rises Again (UPDATED)
1 November 2014 at 8:27 pm UTC

Quoting: mastereduManjaro is Arch. As Linux Mint is Ubuntu. And NO, Ubuntu is NOT Debian.

Manjaro is based on arch, linux mint is based on ubuntu, and yes, ubuntu is not debian, is based on debian. But I wonder how is this related to was I was talking about.

Quoting: Segata SanshiroIf you add together the distros they list, it comes to 0.83%, so the remaining 0.35% must be "other". That seems to fit our own results as well.

That makes a lot of sense, thanks for the info, but they should add that "Other" category, so we could see if it grows and how it behaves.

Steam Hardware Survey For October 2014, Linux Rises Again (UPDATED)

I use Manjaro 64 bits kernel 3.17. Where do I fit? Does that survey count people outside ubuntu based distros? I mean, we need the "Other" category again.

I love gamingonlinux and Aspyr media because they are giving away a copy of BL:TPS. Also because Aspyr seems to enjoy what they are doing, and of course we enjoy tu support a company than cares about us. And I love GOL because all the Linux gaming news are here, and they care about asking the devs about info related to Linux stuff.

Double Fine is making a re-release. Given their recent track record though, I have no expectations whatsoever.
But I guess the original could come to GOG.
