To be honest I think most of the linux users are on 64bit, hell I switched to 64 bit 2004/5 irrc.

I am one of those that think that 32bit should haven passed long ago.

As for dropping fermi support, they need to draw line somewhere .

Natural selection anyone

Gave it a quick go, runs fairly well, locked to 60FPS though. Need work but has potential

One to keep an eye on though.

Quoting: tuubi

According to this wiki page it already does if you force the OpenGL version with "MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=4.4 MESA_GLSL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=440". Annoying but not difficult to work around.

Problems launching the game on rolling distros like Arch seem unrelated. Check the long thread on the GOL forums.

It works fine on ubuntu, any other it plain refuses to regardless of what you try to force

Doom (2016) could have been on Linux, id Software made a Linux version sound easy to do

Quoting: TheReaperUKGive it 2 or 3 years and ID will hopefully open source the code.

ID don't get a say in it any more as Bethesda owns it all otherwise I think we would have got a native build.

AMD has announced 'Radeon-Rays' an open source ray tracing SDK using Vulkan

Quoting: TheRiddickMS and NVIDIA would be very happy if Vulkan died off, or developers steer away from it. But realistically who wants to forever be locked in to Windows10 and XBOX1 platform? at least who in their right mind would...

Unfortunately most users don't know or care. :(

Robocraft Royale could see Linux support if their release goes well

QuoteWe would love to get the game going on Linux but we need to be sure it works on PC



Sigh, When are people going to realise that Windows and Linux are 2 OS's that run on a Personal Computer

Edit,

Lol, someone had pointed that out in the thread too
