I bought the game. It's nice but I don't like the combat. They are slow and I can't understand how it works. I just take command of a ship that don't go in combat, let the AI play and go doing something else as they are not skipable

As far as I now, mostly in phone. Either Librem 5 or pinephone use a mali GPU (forgot which one). Maybe some other card as well

Quoting: legluondunetI enjoyed playing the first opus: a video game with such quality: humor, reflexion, action, ambiance...Not as good but still good
Is this second opus as good as first one?

Quoting: axelbSure. But transitioning from "no tux, no bucks" to "no tux, bucks" will take a few year more for me before feeling natural.Quoting: amataiI'm still shy about using proton too extensively).Imo proton and vk are among the best things (if not the best) that could happen (and happened) to linux gaming in the past years. I recently started playing kc:d via steam, which uses proton. I have 50+ hours now and i cant complain. It just works great (for me). I love it.

Witch store did you use
Maybe it's a statistic to do yearly during the Gaming On Linux award. Aside from which is your favorite game of the year asking how many games do you purchase this year and in which store.
Quoting: Liam Dawe"Which store did you use last year" maybe ? Or in the last 3 month. Or In "Which store would you consider buying game". The updating stuff makes the wording very important.Quoting: amataiCould you do store statistics again ? That was very interesting and that would let see the big trend. I'm very curious about the relative result of GoG vs Steam and Steam vs 3rd market store and how many Linux User use Epic + Wine (still have not dare doing that despite the free games, I'm still shy about using proton too extensively).Not opposed to it but it would need careful wording, since this is something that people don't update every month.
Happy to take suggestions.

I had a revelation when I understand that Minetest is not a game but an open source engine like Godot or Ogre. I'm looking forward the creation of STR, racing game, FPS and all on Minetest

The licence basicaly says "if you make money with this give us a share" wich is okayish for me.
I have more tolerance for commercial stuff having open but not OSI or FSF licence -it probably wouldn't be open otherwise- than for non commercial code that don't have an OSI or FSF licence.

Quoting: rustybroomhandleI still want to know what the mission is with all of this. Not technically, but from a business perspective.1-2% of Valve revenue is still something like 25 to 50 millions dollars. I suppose that pay for a few fulltime employees
I get it, Linux customers are paying customers, but Valve have contracted several companies, individuals, fulltime employees, contact with GPU vendors etc. This seems like way more financial and time investment than what our meagre 1-2% is worth.
