Quoting: rregeerHave it on stream. Works really good with proton.

there's a perfectly working native port tho.
smh what wine does to ppl

There's no native version of this game, unless you mean Doom64EX which is not official.

well... never said nufin about oficiallness... Doom64EX is long since available, native, honest, and works fine. What else one would need.
Besides, nightdive are dirty little bloody liars.

PS "works well in Proton" should be on the offtopic list in a place like this. it's getting worse..

Well Doom64EX does run natively, but it is not the exact same experience [External Link] as the official re-release, tl:dr the new release is closer to the N64.

I think that each people is going for a freedom of some sort. I understand people who reject DRM as such, and I'm not the one to blame them. In fact I even would like all game engines to be open source enven if the assets are proprietary, but I know this is not going to happen.
The reason I buy from Steam is to support further developpement, and if it wasn't for Steam, I would have kept buying consoles anyway, which are heavily DRM'd nowadays as you may know.
I think both approaches are fine as long as they fit your own convictions. When I was buying from GOG I used to buy a Crossover licence anyway, so I kept supporting Wine developpement.
And let's not forget itch and Humble in the equation (though the later is just a shadow of its former glory).

Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoThis is why we need another player in the x86 CPU market: Nvidia

God no! Not them!
They are as unfriendly towards open source as a vendor can get. Also don't forget their GPUs already have security flaws to begin with.

Quoting: omer666I had been using Arch on a daily basis for a long time, and I learned so many things along the way, but when I stopped having enough time to manage it I had to switch to Fedora which is a good intermediate solution for me.
Had Manjaro been a thing when I switched, I would definitely have had a look.

More FUD.... Arch does not need "time" to manage it, in fact, it is the easiest to manage distro on the planet. Once you have set up the distro to your liking, it is just a matter of using pacman (or a wrapper like pacaur for me personally) to update the system periodically, plus monitoring the Arch site/feed for the occasional intervention. I rarely have to change things for months and months, all i do are updates the vast majority of the time.

On the other hand, Fedora needs distro-upgrading every 6 months, how is that better?

Plus Fedora has always been a testing distro, oftentimes they include beta versions of software plus many times things break.

If you've been using Arch for so long, I guess you remember the switch to systemd don't you?

I also guess you never experienced any breaking bug that you had to work around? Like having to investigate which piece of software keeps triggering a kernel panic since your last pacman -Sy?

Sounds strange to me, because as I said I've been using it myself quite a bit - look for my nickname on Arch forums if you need any proof of it - and I do remember quite accurately spending a great deal of time on managing it. I don't mean that it was unpleasant, but it DID take some care and time, and a lot more than a simple Fedora update which amounts to half an hour.

I also don't quite like the tone of your reply, especially you calling me out for spreading "FUD." My goal is absolutely not to keep people away from Arch, in fact I think it's a great way to get to know how a distro works behind the scene, but just to share my experience and tell other people that yes, I would have dug Manjaro if I had the chance to do so at the time.
I may have to mention that I took care of reporting a lot of bugs and I am quite the perfectionist when it comes to how my computer runs, tracking down small errors and all.

Also never had any big technical problem using Fedora, I don't know what you call unfinished or beta state, coming from an Arch user it's quite funny. Who's spreading FUD now?

Because their CPUs are so much better right now and because their GPUs have the best open source support right now and just caught up with Nvidia's cards regarding energy efficiency, my next rig is gonna be full AMD.

To be honest, I didn't vote this year because most things I've been playing were on Proton+DXVK. Truly groundbreaking technology, it deserves its first place as the most meaningful open source project of the year!

If it's going to be compared to gtx 1650, we need to know the TDP...

Their Linux support was quite unstable anyway, with the game executable clinging to 32bit and the game constantly crashing. It's not that I want to complain about it, it's more like a sign that they had some issues supporting Linux in the first place.
Also I think SteamPlay is mentioned as some form of damage control rather than a true justification for this decision.
SteamPlay allows playing so many games that the number of games that really don't get native ports because of its very existence just pale in comparison.
