Linux Drops Below 1% On The Steam Hardware Survey
6 May 2015 at 10:05 am UTC

Not counting the ones that don't participate in the survey, the numbers are probably higher. I don't use Steam but I buy Linux exclusive games on GoG and occasionally Humble Bundle too.

One of the games I'm really looking forward to, great to see the port is making progress.

Great article, enjoyed every word of it. Shadow Warrior is a very good port and I'm enjoying it a lot. Thanks for the awesome work Aaron, hope to see more of your work in the future.

As I suspected, VP might indeed be behind this, I don't have much of a problem with this anyway, it's better than nothing after all.

From my personal point of view: Theme Hospital in Space, at least the graphics resemble it and the gameplay looks fun.

Zowie Gear EC2-A Gaming Mouse: A Linux Gamer's Review, Initial Impressions And Early Performance

Thanks for the review. My cheap Logitech RX 250 mouse is auto scrolling up and down by itself and have to make do with another cheap mouse I had stored away for the moment.

Like you, I buy every kind of hardware for my system except a gaming mouse and keyboard, I might finally break the rule. ;)

Quoting: amelcherHey guys I'm the guy in charge of the Mac and Linux ports. Glad it seems to be working great for most people, I put a lot of work into these ports. The Humble drmfree build should be updated soon and Flying Wild Hog will likely update the store page with the platforms soon as well. That said if you buy it on steam you will be able to play it on Mac and Linux they simply haven't enabled the icons on the store page. If you have any issues please feel free to voice them on the steam forums. Thanks for the article :-D!
Thank you for such an amazing job, Excellent quality. Looks like I've got the plans set for this weekend ;)

EDIT:

The DRM-Free version on Humble Bundle has been updated, graphically it's much more intense and the difference is noticeable from the first version. It also feels smoother frame rate wise, on my GTX 960 it runs on Ultra settings 1080p without a hitch. This IS one hell of a good port, I am not easily impressed by the performance of some Linux ports but this is something that totally blown me away.

So.....Flying Wild Hog, if it's not too much to ask - Hard Reset Linux port please? :D

Jonathan Blow Creator Of 'Braid' On If 'The Witness' Will Come To Linux

Until Linux gets the most wanted games, user growth will be slow. Many gamers especially the younger generation want to play games such as Battlefield/CoD, Assassin's Creed, Dragon Age, GTA 5 and all those high graphics titles.

I think if the big companies start supporting Linux, the user base would grow bigger. Jonathan's view seems honest enough , as he didn't simply shove Linux off the way. I hope Vulkan will be good, it might just be the push Linux needs.

Arma 3 Showing Small Signs Of A Linux Version

That VP suggests a possible Virtual Programming eON port, this is getting interesting. I wonder how performance will fare with such a game in multiplayer.
