Sadly it doesn't yet work without minor hacks on nvidia, see this post [External Link]. I hope they fix that it's a bit annoying.

Quoting: 2Lazy2LogInTheir support for Linux is sorta poor. Lots of unsolved Linux-version only bugs (or not working features known from Windows version) and they dont even try to pretend they bother.

Steam's July 2013 Hardware Survey Has Arrived, Still Above 1%
1 Aug 2013 at 4:29 pm UTC

Quoting: LinuxGuys, this survey and its results presented as "stats" have no real value. http://steamcommunity.com/app/221410/discussions/0/864975026741996257/ [External Link]
That means nothing, you should always wait a bit for the stats to finalise which is why I held off for a good few hours.

Paragon Evolved a sci-fi first person shooter

Holger I agree we have a lot of those types of FPS, I have been very vocal about how many we have. This is different though this is a single player wave based shooter against AI.

I do wish some of the open source games tried slowing down their gameplay and separatingthemselves from the tired run and jump about gameplay.

The Cheapskate's Corner 11 (Jul 26th-31st) (UPDATED)

I personally will not support people being lazy and bottling their games with a winelib and calling it done.

Wine is good for old games yes and for massive AAA developers who are bound by publishers to not publishing to extra platforms (so we will never see a port).

Indie developers aren't bound by that, they may have limited resources yes fair enough I fully get that but a good % of them you can guarantee haven't even attempted to look into Linux support. That or they are just too uptight to learn how to do cross platform code as they don't want to let go of precious Windows only stuff.
