Quoting: kalinWho cares. That game is dumb as hell. I try it to check how well steamplay work and believe me that was the most boring experience.

Yeah, who cares about a popular game with currently over 16 thousand people playing no longer working for us.

Quoting: michaLooks really cool. Will give it a try despite the concerns. I hope it's not too long stretched though.

@liamdawe did you finish it? if so how long was it?

You can likely finish it between 3-4 hours, didn't feel like it went on for too long.

Ps. If you do enjoy it, make sure you leave a review telling them so. Get word out, support developers supporting Linux ;)

It's easy enough to do in terminal, like this Ubuntu example:

sudo nvidia-xconfig --cool-bits=8

I wouldn't recommend that. nvidia-xconfig creates a new auto-generated xorg configuration file in /etc/X11/, however that configuration file filled with a lot of outdated stuff which may break your display server. Not to mention it will conflict with your existing xorg.conf.

Worked fine for me, no issues at all.

Alright people, let's calm down a bit. Whitewolfe80, you've taken such a small harmless comment far too personally.

Let's keep it chilled :)

Quoting: liamdawe... it's now verifying with the Kernel string too as Arch 99% of the time has arch in the Kernel version...

Antergos has "arch" in it too

Antergos properly identifies itself as Antergos though, as far as I am aware.

Quoting: cprnAlso, patron is a monthly thing and it's not clear if people get twice their monthly pledge or twice the amount they paid over the whole patron campaign (i.e. several months). Can somebody clear that out?

The full link has more:

(EDIT: There has been some minor confusion, so to clarify, this is your lifetime pledges, meaning if you donated $1 for 6 months, for a total of $6, you will get $12 back!)

Quoting: TheSHEEEPI find this rather weird, tbh. Wouldn't there have been a better way to use the money? Like, hire a composer to get more music as the game's soundtrack is very repetitive right now.

The people who give money on Patreon are doing so in order to enable the dev to develop and improve the game, not to earn money back.
I somewhat understand shutting down the campaign if the money isn't needed any more, but I just think there would have been better uses of the money than giving someone 20$...

This also sets a rather awkward precedent, as now some might expect similar behavior from other developers. But Patreon != Fig.

I can understand what you mean, but since the game is obviously more successful than the developer thought when setting up the Patreon they just seem to feel like they really don't need it. The game is updated often too, nothing is to say more music isn't already on the roadmap. Personally, I think it's great to give back and not hoard it when you really don't need it.

Quoting: theghostA lot of Linux people are used Wine anyway before Proton to play their Windows games on Linux via Steam.
Also a lot of people requested and wished a Wine friendly integration into Linux Steam.

That's another thing. Most people here care more about gaming than about linux. I.e., they rather use windows/wine/proton than not playing a game. So such a step from Valve is sort-of logical.
I just note that this is not going to increase the linux count (unless Steam has a mechanism to count games played via proton as 'linux' and/or pushes developers to make sure their game runs fine with it, and give the support for that). And it won't increase the number of native Linux titles either - on the contrary, as has already been shown by titles revoking the native port in favor of proton.

Even if this doesn't increase user base, it benefits Linux users, which is good thing.

Well, some Linux users. I personally benefit neither from steam nor from proton....

It was confirmed from the first day by Valve to me, that Steam Play sales count as Linux. See the bottom update here.

And to be clear, the number of titles removing native support in favour of Proton you can count on one hand and that's over the course of five months.
