Well, they've now put up a Native Linux build [External Link] for testing.

Quoting: rea987Why being apologetic for a company?

It's not, it's just giving my thoughts on it.

Quoting: rea987I am aware that most people here goes for "nah, Proton works just fine, who care native" approach. But it still pisses me of when companies take people's money by explicitly naming Linux version, then never even attempt to make a Linux build by using Proton excuse; hence being scammer.

Again, I disagree on calling it a scam. The developer just changed plan on one thing listed during crowdfunding. Anyone on Linux can still play it, if they're not sticking to an overzealous attitude to pretending Proton doesn't exist.

I get there will be disappointment on it, but it's not the end of the world and anyone who paid still gets a copy of it.

This seems like a good time to also mention Soda Den won't be doing Native Linux support, which was part of their Kickstarter campaign.

Scammers, no lose here then, pass.

Scammers? I wouldn't say so. Kickstarter is never a guarantee remember, and only what the developers *hope* they will get to with the funding. And arguably with Proton, you still get the game. Kickstarter should really be used if you like the game idea, not specifically the Linux side of it.

You can still play it on Linux, without any problems I can see.

Quoting: AsciiWolfThis mindset is one of the reasons why I am still not sure whether I am happy about the popularity of Valve Proton or not...

Not sure if it'll change yours or anyone's opinion, but I find it interesting that Roblox staffers seem to consistently refer to Wine, rather than Proton 🤔

Because Proton is for Steam, Roblox is not on Steam and people used and talked about Roblox with Wine for years as a standalone game platform.

Quoting: iskaputtLooks fun. How is the single player against AI?

Actually a lot of fun, the survival mode is quite interesting too that I did on a recent livestream. Giving you a different enemy set every round, makes it really challenging and helps you learn a lot of counters.

Quoting: ShabbyX> but since we have no native Linux users

I hope that's a typo and they meant "developers". Of course you don't have native Linux users if you don't have a native Linux build, what kind of an argument is that?!

I think you’re getting too hung up on a single word. They mean developers of course.

It does this with thanks to the DXVK translation layer, which NVIDIA now have their own fork of just for this.

This suggests to me that Nvidia internally prioritise Vulkan over Direct3D. They could have just done it in DXR, and stayed in the DirectX realm, but they've chosen to translate all those DirectX games into Vulkan instead.

I think perhaps it's more a case that DXVK was just there and ready for them, so it was far easier to do this way?

For those also not paying attention, which I forgot to mention, ASUS have been doing some seriously anti-consumer stuff.

And so on and so on...

Who is going to trust them when the Ally breaks?

Quoting: B-wizeLiam,I used the same udev rules you linked above for my 8bitdo ultimate bluetooth, and it has allowed me full back button functionality. Kind of a shame this cheaper model got rid of them though. At that price point, it would've been a hot selling item.

What have you been testing the back buttons with? I've not seen anything that can pick them up, as everything basically spoofs an xbox style pad for it. AFAIK, you can only map them using their software which of course isn't on Linux.
