Quoting: flesk

Quoting: lqe5433What about Metro Exodus or cuphead or Darksiders Genesis or any more Feral ports?

Is Cuphead supposed to be heading to Linux? I don't think I've heard anything about that, except for the Linux version made for Tesla cars.

Cuphead? No. Darksiders Genesis? No.

Not sure why either were mentioned, neither have been said to be coming.

As for Feral ports, they appear to have transitioned quite a bit over to mobile and switch. Both Linux and macOS don't seem to be as big a focus for them recently. I still expect GRID is from them and we have Total War SAGA Troy confirmed by them.

Quoting: NarcotixOfftopic: So with cloud-gaming on the rise and being executed on highly proprietary environments that happeen to use Linux, it might become weird when Amazon and Google's services get covered here, but not Project XCloud, since they all just provide access to a proprietary service, the only difference being most of them use Linux in the background while Microsoft does not.

You're missing the point entirely. Stadia is covered because it's supported on Linux and works on Linux. It's not just about the service behind it that powers it. I can open Chromium, click a button and on my Linux desktop I can play Destiny 2, The Division 2 and the list goes on. If being on Linux, and then playing a game is somehow not gaming on Linux, then the world has gone mad.

Additionally: for the people not liking the service with (valid) complaints, that doesn't matter. It doesn't change that it's an option. The same way people complain about their issues with Steam, GOG, itch and whatever other store or service and so on for various reasons.

As for the others - Project XCloud is not supported on Linux, neither is GeForce Now, hence neither being covered. If either turned around and said "yes, we support Linux now" - then yes we would look to cover some of what they do. That's the entire point of this website.

Quoting: NarcotixSo, if this site wasn't all about Linux gaming but open source gaming in general we might want to get more PlayStation news, right? After all it's just a proprietary OS built around the open source FreeBSD. Pretty much the same case for Stadia, in a sense at least.

Completely different to PlayStation news too since that's an entirely different hardware device that means nothing to a Linux website. How you can conflate it like that with an entirely different service to try and make such a false point is ridiculous.

As an added point there, we actually did cover PlayStation related news with Chiaki ;) - Here's the kicker though, it's because it's done from the Linux box.

We're not focused on one particular way here. We cover a bit of everything and shall continue to do so.

Tip: if people don't want to see news about game streaming, as just one example while we're on the topic, we have a feature for you to filter it out under "Content preferences" in the User Control Panel.

Quoting: elmapulBenchmarks...
we need benchmarks comparing the performance on windows and linux...

Someone else will need to. I do not own a VR set, too expensive for me.

Thankfully this can be moved or removed if you wish as it's just a Shelf.

... but the news shelf cannot be removed, right?

Not that I can see, as it's not a Shelf but a feature.

Quoting: Liam DaweIn English, it means it's quite literally not going anywhere. As in, Linux support is staying.

No it does not!

It needs context.

I meant it with the context, which was already there in the article update that mentioned the question.

That same developer has made it even clearer:

and the context for that comment is specific to Linux support is staying in the engine and still being worked on (didnt what I said before had other meanings)

This has now been added to the article too, hopefully clearing up any further confusion. 👍👌

Quoting: randylCan it be enjoyed single player, or is it like Vermintide 2 where you can for a bit, but should really do MP. This looks so much like my jam.

Checklist
- interesting tools, weapons, and attachments
- flame thrower
- resource gathering
- chaos, mayhem, and pressure
- flame thrower
- crafting and item repair
- and not to forget the flame thrower.

Single player is perfectly possible, especially with the little drone you're given when alone. However, after a couple of hours it might become a bit lonely.

Quoting: StraToNUhm... Please correct me if I'm wrong, but in French, saying that "something isn't going anywhere" means it's a lost cause. This didn't sound good to me at all when I first read it. Can you please confirm?

In English, it means it's quite literally not going anywhere. As in, Linux support is staying.

Quoting: AchetaWe got a confirmation on Discord from Epic employee after asking about UE5 and Linux support:

linux isnt going anywhere

So good news:).

Do you have a screenshot that confirms it?

No need, I've seen it personally, otherwise I wouldn't have added it to the article. I think after running this for almost 11 years now that people would trust my word :). Screenshots can just be easily faked anyway. If you're that bothered, I gave the name of the Discord to join and see.

Quoting: ripperIt's amazing that this articles doesn't include a single sentence explaining what either Stream Deck or Stream PI is (no, "easy access to a ton of functions at the touch of a button" is not an explanation, it's as generic as it can be and it can apply to anything from an electric piano to a microwave oven), and it links a 20 minute video as introduction for those who know nothing about it. Come on!

Hi, sorry about that. It's easy to get a little carried away with excitement about the subject, extra detail has been added into the article. In future, if you do have feedback there's a dedicated box before the comments for feedback and the "Send Correction Report" button also goes right to us so we can pick it up quickly (comments are often missed). It's always our aim to have articles as useful as possible.
