Quoting: YoRHa-2B

Quoting: LinasWith these rates we will have total world domination in no time. ;)

Imagine, in a year we'll be at 16.8%, and in two years we'll have a market share of over 470%!

Or maybe my math is a little off, that's a possibility too.

And Liam claimed the relevance can't be overstated. Clearly with a little effort it can be done! :D

So I'm wondering what "souls-like" combat would be, and why that would be deep. ;)

Quoting: TPhaster...we need friendly and welcoming community - they need to feel that Linux OS is for everybody and not for small tech elite.

Problem number one for the majority of people who tried Linux and then gave up, because thy were trolled on reddit by some elitist a**hole. Even some of the people on the Linux gaming sub-reddit are just insufferable. A few weeks back I was called out for having a "parasitic way of thinking" because I dared to express my view that an OS is nothing more than a tool and I will use both Windows and Linux for whatever purpose they best suit me. Then there was this other person, who tried to explain to me that not having Photoshop or Vegas Pro was somehow the fault of both the developer and the user. Essentially, people who need professional software had to be ashamed they need non-Linux software and use Linux anyway. Because f*ck your job - open source for life :). You just need a bit of a thick skin when you're in the Linux community. 9 people are extremely friendly and helpful, but the 10th makes Apple fanboys go "Daaaaaaaaamn!!!" :))).

True, but I would like to point out that the GamingOnLinux community we have here is pretty much the nicest gaming community on internet, at least from what I have experienced.

9 people be like: Everything is awesoooooome!
and the 10th be like: It would be even more awesome if it was DRM-free, but yeah, it's awesome.

Praise be to Liam's excellent moderation.

My experience with any tech community ever.

I agree but with the strikethrough added.

So . . . the PUBG wave has crested?
Still don't trust the Steam Survey numbers anyway.

Quoting: dpanterWhat alternatives do we have then?

I think you missed what might be the closest comparison, in looks at least: Helium Rain. Also Linux native.

Quoting: tuubiEven smaller Middle Eastern, African or Asian nations, right down to tiny tribes on the Amazon, with extremely homogenous populations, show the same sort of multi-tier hierarchy. I guess that's just social animals being social animals. If only we could find a way to rise above it all.

I think in some ways open source points in a direction. In open source software projects, people involved are often unpaid, and furthermore they have no power over others; even in projects with "benevolent dictators" those dictators have no actual power--they can't force anyone to contribute, they can't even tell anyone what to contribute, and if people stop feeling like listening, they can fork it. But those involved do get respect and kudos for their contributions, and many seem to find this very satisfying. Open source shows that although people may have a need for some sort of status, to be able to strut their stuff, to get respect, it doesn't have to be connected to wealth, or even power.
So I think good forms of socialism would have to work on that decoupling. Rather than attempting to make everyone the same, the aim should be for as many people as possible get to have kudos for whatever their line of cool stuff is, but the currency is pure respect, it's separated from extra wealth or ability to coerce other people.

Dash it all! Such a pity, I always thought this looked really cool. In a perfect world, someone would hire him and a couple of other people to finish it.

Quoting: etonbearsHaven't tried the latest version yet, but have played a new character in Fallout 4 up to level 70+ using the previous Proton beta. Many games, like F4, still need significant manual intervention to set up, mainly due to missing Windows API implementations, and long-standing issues with automatically integrating wine with the wide variety of Distro/UI combinations.

It doesn't help that the previous Proton beta linked against libgnutls.so.26 rather than libgnutls.so, meaning secure sockets networking fails completely unless your Distro contains this exact version of the library :(

I wonder if in the future Snaps and Flatpaks will help with some of that.

Well I'm not. How about you stop making sense if you're looking for a fight? :P

In my experience, making sense is often a great way to start a fight. :D
