As long as there won't be the Linux client, they simply won't have my money.

Quoting: ripperI share the same point of view as @elbuglione. I don't like that GOG is advertising "and Linux soon" for their GOG Galaxy client for more than a year now!!! It's totally unacceptable. "Soon" means "in the next weeks or months", and not "in the next years or decades".Quoting: elbuglioneGOG and CDPR are absolutely DEAD for me...Yes, it's not optimal, but you can still play Linux games from GOG even without Galaxy, so I see no point in the hatred.
Stop GOG "advertising" until GOG Galaxy arrives to Linux!

Transport Fever released with day-1 Linux support, some thoughts

First time I see a video of this game, I wasn't very interested before. But in fact this is excellent! Back in the days, I loved Transport Tycoon and this game seems to be a gorgeous, modernized version of it. I was looking a lot at OpenTTD [External Link], but as for the original game, I always found the train management to be very painful (especially the railways signals [External Link].
Anyway, this game definitely get into my wishlist!
Quoting: liamdaweI thought I would need something to allow the train to turn around, but it magically switched directions when it got to the station. This was a massive let down for such an in-depth simulation game to completely disregard the need for direction when it comes to trains. I mean, that’s the whole point of the game isn’t it?I see a lot of parallels between Transport Fever and Transport Tycoon, and this behavior is actually the same as in TT. Not that it is good, but at least it's the same ;)
Anyway, this game definitely get into my wishlist!

Quoting: TheGZeusSweet?!I think stuttering are more due to shader compilation. Once the shader cache feature will be in mesa, we will have way less freezes and stuttering.
I got sick of stuttering, so I've been playing on ps4, but I hate joystick aiming, so TVHM is a slog.
Black Mesa, the very popular fan-made recreation of Half-Life is now on Linux in beta

What's the official position of Valve on this fan-made remix?
I really want to try this game, but the "fan-made" side and the "not until it's finished" estimation don't inspire me a lot.

Looks like Mesa has hit OpenGL 4.5 for the open source Nvidia 'nvc0' driver

1. AMD are more open source-friendly than NVIDIA
2. So AMD has a nice advance in how the open source communities work (it can take ages to push a patch to the Linux kernel if you're doing it wrong)
3. I've been using the r600 drivers for quite some time and was able to play most of the games (like Cities: Skyline, but not Alien: Isolation)
4. I've bought an RX 480 and now I can play Alien: Isolation ;)
5. Since AMD is more open-source friendly, we'll see much more improvements and optimizations on their open source drivers
6. RADV (which also proves point 5. ;))

Quoting: STiATI'm very happy about that, since long-term I'd like to go for the nvc0 driver for most of my computers (except for the one running SteamOS, I still don't trust the driver for games).If your goal is to go open source, I'd strongly advise you to buy an AMD card for several reasons:
1. AMD are more open source-friendly than NVIDIA

Yet again, the lack of transparency brings ludicrous conspiracy theories... Maybe one day the companies will understand that they don't have to hide everything.
In the meantime, I would not blame Aspyr if the port doesn't happen. Maybe Firaxis devs decided to use proprietary techs that aren't available on Linux and they're investigating on a possible replacement that doesn't involve rewriting the whole engine.

A look at Planet Nomads now it's in closed alpha and available on Linux

Quoting: wintermuteDid you start with the -force-opengl option as described in the article? A lot of Unity 5.x based games have not worked without that on my AMD laptop.Yup, actually it works "better" without the option ;)

I was expecting it but I wanted to try anyway, the game doesn't work with an old Radeon HD 6870 with the open source drivers.
I was actually surprised it launched and I can browse the menu and launch a world. The only problem is that not everything is displayed, like, the ground ;)
As I said, it's not a surprise (Alien Isolation doesn't work either) and I'm planning on buying an RX 480 sooner than later. Just waiting for kernel 4.7 to get into Fedora 24 ;)
