I never knew The Last Tinker had a Linux release. I remember the game being released on GoG as Win/Mac.

I'll try and get in contact with them about the Linux version on GoG when I get home from my holiday.

It's on GOG + Linux port done by Ethan is a recipe for must-buy and I'm definitely cooking that.

Part of me is happy that Zenimax ruffled their feathers as this should bring the game into a brighter light now that it's open source, this might help the game reach 1.0 and develop even further.

Glad to see this still coming to Linux, As a fan of roguelikes I'm definitely buying this, although I could say this will be a new experience as it's in space. :D

There are a number of reasons why Linux request would be limited, first and foremost they have to consider that Linux gamers account for about 2-3% across all stores combined and not all of them will come and tell you to do a Linux version.

As for GOG release - The devs mentioned something [External Link] about a DRM-Free release, no doubt there will be a Linux request when that happens. Hopefully will convince them that a Linux version is worth doing.

Amazing song by Blind Guardian, one of my favorite bands (it's my kind of music).

Liam if you can make a performance comparison with Windows that would be great, not a problem if you can't though, just curious.

1) Skyrim > DRM-Free, on GOG, with a Vulkan renderer.
2) Witcher 3
3) Guild Wars 2 - Been playing since GW1 (2005) and now that they're developing a native Mac client, they might as well do a Linux one, game would run better anyway since Linux is not limited to crappy laptops and overpriced desktops.

Quoting: tmtvlNWN for Linux? Could be good... especially if we get NWN2.

While unofficial, I created an updated patch for the native Linux version of the game, link can be found here [External Link] (Installation Instructions Provided).

As for what's coming on Thursday, I'm hoping something Linux compatible or TES Oblivion/Skyrim.

The drivers from the Nvidia website are safe to use, for over 2 years I've been installing them in this way and I can't say I've ever had any problems, so if you can't find what you need in the repo you might wanna give them a shot :-)

Not in a position to donate monthly, sadly. About that comment though - while it's true that sometimes there are contributions by other people than Liam, I cannot help but feel that without his continued work and efforts, this site wouldn't be where it is today.

People have to keep in mind that Liam doesn't just write articles, he also benchmarks games, contacts developers/publishers when required and of course work on the GoL website itself.

I've checked other Linux gaming sites in the past and they don't come as close to this. I can't donate (yet) but I greatly appreciate all the work done here. Thank you.
