Hollow Knight looks like exactly the type of action platformer I would play on Linux

Quoting: Doc Angelo
It looks like it will have both a DRM free release, as well as a Steam version.
I guess the version on Steam will also be DRM free. You don't have to use any kind of DRM when publishing through Steam.
Steam itself is sort of DRM, because you need Steam to install the game. You can't just download the installer.

I regret backing that game up.. :(

The Ubuntu Guys Have Already Worked Out A More Official PPA For Nvidia Driver Updates
16 Aug 2015 at 4:09 pm UTC

I just figured out that Xorg edgers provide buggy intel drivers and it's better to use version from official Ubuntu repository.
I didn't want to hold intel driver at specific version so I just switched ppa.

Logitech F310 Gamepad Review On Linux
18 May 2015 at 8:21 pm UTC

Well, I'm pretty satisfied with Logitech F710 gamepad [External Link].
It's basically same as F310 but it's wirelless. Battery life is great.
Unfortunatelly it doesn't work with Logitech's Unifying technology and every gamepad needs it's own receiver. (I was hoping for one all-purpose nano-usb receiver which connects to any device).

Dead Island Patch Released For Linux, Finally Playable (Updated)

The loot system was freaking me out from the start. After a while I did get used to it and found alternative solution to get materials via trading. And I thought that repairing weapons to only 99% was actually a feature against too powerful weapons.

GOG Employee Explains Where Galaxy Is At Currently

Quoting: TeodosioCompetition is always good.
Steam monopoly scares me.
Well, Steam's monopoly isn't bad (now). Valve cares about gamers and especially linux gamers should be thankful. You know, for the propagating linux as gaming platform.

Another thing is using mesh organization structure (no bosses nor hierarchy), so I it less prone to becoming evil.

Although the Steam is basically sort of DRM, it is at least working DRM which doesn't harm paying customers (unlike Uplay).

On the other side, Steam isn't perfect either. It won't let you download standalone installer and sometimes it's slow.

I'm actually looking forward for GOG Galaxy. Competition is good in most cases and let's hope it will be it and both services and customers will gain from it.
