To note, the developers of Geometry Wars bullied independent developers who made clones of their game in order to shut them down (and they succeeded).

NVIDIA reveal a list of issues with their driver and Wayland
24 May 2022 at 6:42 pm UTC

Yeah speaking of, recently (since Linux kernel 5.15 something) the proprietary nvidia drivers break my system and prevent from waking up after suspend to RAM. Black screen, keyboard not working, SATA link timeouts...

Reverted back to nouveau, and everything works fine again. Nvidia F*** you.

EDIT: after investigating further, I realized this was not the first time I had this issue but forgot how to fix it. Found the solution again here: https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/fixed-suspend-resume-issues-with-the-driver-version-470/187150/3 [External Link]
Basically disable nvidia-suspend.service and nvidia-resume.service.

ΔV: Rings of Saturn's demo appears to help sales, now lets you save your game

This demo type seems very fair and honest actually.
I bought this game a while back after trying the demo for an hour or two. The fact that it has native Linux support obviously pushed me to buy it. ;)

Patents = cancer. It's time to shut them down. You can't copyright an idea.

Borderlands 2 will see no further updates for Linux / macOS from Aspyr Media

This is really sad and infuriating. Makes me think twice before buying games nowadays. Such a terrible state this industry has become.

And then they wonder why piracy still exists... go figure.

NVIDIA GeForce NOW adds Chromebook support, so you can run it on Linux too
20 Aug 2020 at 12:00 am UTC

I'm not super comfortable with giving my Steam account password to nVidia... :(
Otherwise I think it's nice to be able to rent a virtual Windows machine in the cloud for so cheap.

As usual, the good guys have it rough, the bad guys have it easy. Fuck this world.
