Quoting: GuestYou avatar, Lord Soth ?

Absolutely! Kind of betraying my age a little. :)

Quoting: Guest... at the very least Valve have been investing in areas that do benefit GNU/Linux...

Do Epic ever contributed to some open source projects? I don't know the answer to this question but could it be the reason why we are so skeptical about Epic going Linux?

Still, I may be wrong, but Valve started contributing after the initial Linux announcement. Something similar may still apply to Epic. Let's wait and see.

Quoting: MohandevirIt's just a feeling, looking at that knight on a Pegasus that makes me feel like "winged destruction coming down on us from the sky"... Just Cause 4.

Honestly, if it's Just Cause 4 I will literally die happy on the spot. It looks utterly insane and it's exactly the type of game we need as a platform.

Well, it's a Square Enix + Avalanche game (Mad Max)... There might be a sliver of hope... Maybe? :)

Edit: Added more details

Awesome!

I only hope that the Steam Controller's usb dongles will be compatible... Not a big fan of using the bluetooth alternative...

Do you think we may hope for a futur integration with Kodi (OSMC/LibreELEC) and/or Retropi/Recalbox?

Quoting: MohandevirThe Cave might not be as underated as you define it but, imo, it deserves an honourable mention and it's 80% off. :)

Thanks for the input, I was on the fence about Vaporum. I will probably buy it.

Wow, looks really nice. I may grab this one I think.

If you like dark humour, you're in for a treat! "Spoilers!" :)

Fear not Feral... I already waited to buy SofTR because I suspected that you were going to make a port and now that it is official, I will officialy wait for the Linux release to buy it. :)

Thanks Feral!

Quoting: MohandevirI have a new RX 580 to test streaming with. Anyone know if the Mesa drivers are doing a good streaming job?

Unfortunately, hardware encoding is not yet supported with Mesa drivers :/

So it's running software-only, making use of a lot of CPU.

Sad but good to know... I tested and performances wasn't really good. 100% wired and had lots of stuttering. At the pace things are going, at least we may still hope that Mesa will eventually catch up.

Quoting: MohandevirThing is, when it was heavily discounted, it was cheaper to buy a Steam Link for the network and HDMI cable included than buying the cables alone. So I bought 2 of them. :)

Tried using them hardwired and it did a good job with many games but for others (ex: Witcher 3) I had lots of pixelated frames or just bad performances (Deux Ex: Mankind Divided). Since that's the kind of games I play, the Steam Link doesn't really make it for me. Too bad, I really like the concept and tought that it might become a good client for an hypothetical "Steam streaming service".

So I mostly had played Divine Divinity: Original Sin on Linux on a 1080p TV with the Link, and it'd have audio delay and was crashing (well to be fair, that was the game). But once I changed it from 5.1 surround to just stereo it worked perfectly. Well, was still crashing, but there wasn't any issues with the game. I've also now been playing Conan Exiles over it on my 4k tv, works fine. I've even played Fallout 4 with it. Mind you, now I'm using Wireless with Conan and it's working.

Might give it another shot soon. I have a new RX 580 to test streaming with. Anyone know if the Mesa drivers are doing a good streaming job?

Edit: Did you say 4K? Is the Steam link 4K capable?
