Valve & HTC launch the Vive VR device, without Linux & SteamOS support
6 Apr 2016 at 12:03 pm UTC

I think I'm going to go for the PS4 VR precisely because valve can't even support their own gaming platform. Its pathetic really.

I really wish they could fix the scaling for high resolution displays.
I have a 4k TV and can hardly see the words! I have to use a magnifying tool to use steam
(when not in big picture mode).

Speculation: A job posting for Elite Dangerous hints at possible future Linux support
22 Dec 2015 at 9:57 am UTC

I am annoyed that they are taking so long for a linux release. Braben did mention it in the kickstarter page which inticed me to back it. He's more likely to do it after PS4. The thing is they already have released it on mac, surely it isn't much more work to release on linux?
Anyway the game was a bit disappointing (I have played the windows version). It felt like it was released too soon.
Furthermore, they are rushing to release more expansions for the game when they should really be improving the original release, and I am saying this as a lifelong fan of the elite games.

Quoting: TheBoss
Quoting: nattydreadis it a native build or a port?
It was ported by Feral Interactive, and it is native. A port doesn't make something not native.

well what I mean perhaps is: does it use a wrapper to DirectX or does it directly use OpenGL? There must be some reason it doesn't perform as well on SteamOS.

Alien: Isolation Released For Linux, Prepare Your Spare Pants, Port Report, Review & Sale

It's the limited saves that make this game so great.
It wouldn't be as scary if you could save at any time.
