Epic is so bad at selling games they even gave up selling their own games.

Quoting: MacTavishMeanwhile the steam client still sucks on linux. When a new revamped Wayland native Linux Steam client?

I don't have any problems with it.. In what way does it suck?

I do have a really peculiar issue. Whenever I start Steam via desktop icon which has a
Exec=/usr/games/steam %U
line, the client will start but will only show the indicator which in turn apart from allowing to exit the client will play dead. When starting from the command line with
$ /usr/games/steam
it works as expected (as does Steam when installed as snap package).
I wouldn't say it sucks but it... has issues.

That's because of a conflict with your iGPU in GNOME (which handles multiple GPUs). You should disable it in your BIOS, and everything will work as intended.

Just upgraded, very nice version. VRR works everywhere like a charm, ROCm works great again and apps received a nice upgrade overall. Good job!

Bought SW Squadrons after whole decades not buying a single EA game, now I wonder if I'll be able to play it in the near future... Should have known better, I guess

Quoting: sonic2kkIf Valve start buying exclusivity, they're no better than scumbags like Epic, Tomorrow Corporation (I say this with a Little Inferno profile pic, and an ex-fan of Tomorrow Corporation), and every other dev that buys into paid third-party exclusivity.

I completely agree with the bit about Valve not having to buy exclusives, but calling Tomorrow Corporation names when you can buy the native Linux build DRM free from their website IMHO may be a little overreacting, don't you think?

Before Valve invested in Linux I had to buy consoles to get my gaming fix. After a while I was considering buying one again, native games were slowly declining in number and Wine pre-DXVK was not able to play recent releases. Then Proton arrived, and man, I never looked back.

I bought a Switch for my kids last Xmas and that's the first console I buy I don't play at all. Linux covers all my gaming needs all thanks to Proton, it's such a great piece of software I don't even notice I'm actually running non-native games.

I know I've been hating on John Carmack for saying the future of Linux gaming was Wine, but man, he was absolutely right, and deserves my deepest apologies.

When you come to think of it, dedicated layers of API translations are the most fail-safe and future-proof technical solution possible for gaming when it's got got low overhead, and Valve offered us just that by funding open source projects.

Back in the day when I was playing Introversion and Lexaloffle games on Linux, I bought all these from the dev's website. As a matter of fact, I bought the first World of Goo this way too... Don't see any problem with this

Not a fan of open worlds myself, but I loved Metro Exodus' survival stance and the plain dialogue/adventure aspect of it. The gameplay and atmosphere also also lived up to its roots. I wouldn't mind playing through another episode, though I wonder if they'll be able to renew the formula once more...

Quoting: STiAT"Fixed Wayland flickering issues" is missing. Oh ye - they didn't. Again.

I'm on Wayland and I don't have flickering at all, could you explain the issue?
