Quoting: segulehThankfully i’m not fan of Total War nor WH series, cause i don’t believe Feral make this port good. Even as NVIDIA card user, I can accept (barely) 20% - 30% performance drop but not 50% as it is with Tomb Raider. And I prefer 5 good ports than 20 poor. No offence Feral, but thanx, not this time ;)
If you have an issue with a massive drop in performance I recommend you contact Feral support. It's most likely something on your setup or game settings that we can investigate.
Actually, there have been better Ports than Tomb Raider. I had issues as well, making it a "don't want to play" game (permanent short freezes etc.).

Compared to ports as Shadow of Mordor (good, had issues in the beginning too) which is now really just great.

Deep Silver confirm Homefront: The Revolution is still in the works for Linux

Almost missed that one. Hope they will live up to it. The game has very ... mixed reviews. But I really hope for a higly story driven shooter with possibilities as driving etc. like in FarCry. So I could really come to like this game.

The reason they disappeared is that his account was deleted.

Going down to 6.5 FPS reads like some more work is to be done...

Quoting: BOYSSSSSI was wondering if I should buy it, 3$ promo price is pretty cheap, good thing I decided to wait.
I would quite happily pay ten times this...

Steam sales have ruined us.
It's 3$ for owners of Hard Reset and Shadow Warrior, its not a Steam Sale, besides I wouldn't even have a Steam profile if there weren't any sales. The Middle Income in my country is 200euro minus electricity, water, food, internet and whatnot. I wouldn't bother playing games for full price.
That's actually the problem of a lot of people. Even that games are cheaper in some zones does not help a lot, since they're still too expensive for a lot of players.

That's actually why so many copies more sell on steam sales - because they get accessible for a huge number of people not having the financial background to pay anything full-priced, which can very well be that they're living in a country where the average income is a lot lower compared to some european countries and/or USA. And some people even in this countries don't earn a lot compared to the living costs.

Quoting: JuliusCould you please add KDE Neon as an option: https://neon.kde.org/ [External Link]

Or maybe have the Kubuntu option as both, since it is very close to that and somewhat a successor to it?

Maybe a funny question would be also if the computer came with Linux preinstalled (Steam boxes, Tuxedo etc.). Additional it could have the answer, "no, but everything works out of the box with no extra configuration" or so.
KDE Neon is not in any way a successor of KUbuntu. They've different goals, while KUbuntu goes with the Ubuntu cycle and software releases even with KDE (except if you use backports, which is not officially supported), Neon does not.

I like Neon, they're doing a great job. Though, I decided to get my back to anything *ubuntu based distro. I'd have loved to see Tanglu getting more reception and developers, though, the project seems to decline (a year without release).
