OP Tim is correct - Apple sabotages Windows by making iTunes a bloated piece of shit that makes windows crawl on its knees - it's not hard to look good and act superior when you sabotage the competition.

Microsoft wants to crown itself king and will do everything possible to force XBONE and their ideology and way of doing things - this is the same as apple though.

No surprise I can't support either, and while every system has its flaws or cave-outs, at least on Linux if Developer-X makes a bad choice the project is forked to save the users from the bad choice,

eg - OpenOffice -> LibreOffice,

Or for some but not me, they prefer Mate over Gnome 3.

In Windows or Mac world they make a bad decision you're screwed, your files are in their cloud, you can't turn off updates, your PC bricked because of mandatory Windows 10 update? Too bad.

Microsoft: What excuse can we have for ripping Minecraft away from Linux users?

Developer: Well we can create a new launcher

Microsoft: Genius, we'll say Linux isn't big enough to justify why our new version won't work on it

Developer: No one will suspect a thing sir.

Microsoft: You're earned your pay, enjoy a $20,000 Xmas bonus

Microsoft: hA Ha Ha HHaaaa Haaa Ha ha Ha

Looks like the open source Mesa driver has hit OpenGL 4.5 support with Intel

Horray, Skylake/Intel HD Graphics are surprisingly good, I can run some games on medium settings @ 1080p, but mostly the # of issues on Linux goes down a lot.

topkek, get a grip nvidia fanboy
Was that some poor attempt at a diss? Did I seriously just get called an nvidia fanboy lmao what?

Limited as in the amount of cards it supports currently.
I'll be switching over to the Red Team this year when more RX 480s come back in stock, It's been a nice run with Nvidia but I can't turn down the open driver.

Quoting: CybolicIt was already on their website, but buried slightly on their FAQ:
Q. On which platforms will it release?
A. We are going to focus on PC (Windows, Mac and Linux) for now [...]
It seems it's now been put on the top of the About page, so I think your suggestion worked :)
Wow someone used the term "PC" correctly, I'm impressed.
