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.

the AMDGPU-PRO driver to get Vulkan, that's also quite limited
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.

Starbound officially released!

Well I guess it's time to give Starbound a second chance now that It's 1.0

And it fails now I give up on it forever.

At least now I expect no new features will destroy old saves and worlds which I like.

Rust has now sold over 30 thousand copies on Linux

@cxpher - yup, they could have made $80-100 just off of me alone (I do a lot of gifting.) Had he approached it ahead of time like hey guys I'm going to release numbers later so give us all the support you can :)

That would have been a hit.

But now he's got us like a dog rubbing our nose in the numbers after many of us boycotted him due to his arrogance.

And like a abusive boyfriend just expects people to "go with it", this defective behavior might not bite him in the ass today or next week or in a month, but someday arrogance and aggression lead to a fall.

But seriously, he should apologize for distancing the Linux community. I'm 100% dead serious. Why should his mistakes lead to him being hated when he can just say sorry and then we can forgive his ignorance and arrogance.

@Nyamiou - this guy gets it. Some sales may have been discounted and many others may have not been counted at all due to wrongly being assigned to windows.

I think I bought 30 games this month all from my phone for my Steam Machine.
