Quoting: Deleted_UserIs there a reason why this game is covered here, other than it looks nice? I mean as far as i can see there is no native linux version planned, it is not based on an open sourced engine, etc.
What makes this game special?

- Because it's a game, that I want to play on Linux.
- I thought it looked cool.
- I explained in the article how I grew up playing such games.
- I write based on my own interests.
- Proton exists and has done for years. Proton runs most things on Linux. It's pretty cool, you should try it.
- It's called GamingOnLinux, not NativeOrOpenSourceGamingOnLinux.

Feel free to use any of those points at any time for anything I cover to answer the question on all future articles ;)

Agreed. The big thick banners for all of them is a step backwards, especially terrible as I have browser text size up and so many bits of Steam don’t fit and just get cut off.

Notice: This article originally went up last week, a bit too early, the Beta was properly released two days later so it has been republished today.

Quoting: QYMEAnother "he said/she said" situation, with nobody showing any proof of anything.

I was shown some links, but chose not to include them from the Decky team, because it's mostly random Reddit comments that we don't get the full context on (as other stuff seems to have happened in Discords and such), and some seem to have been taken the wrong way. It's just messy, so leaving it with the main statements provided.

Quoting: saturnoyoFYI I can't follow any of those links, uBlock blocks them all.

This is the new Humble partner program through Impact, it's going to be the same for any site. You can either allow the links, or keep blocking, but there's nothing I can do from my end.

Quoting: chris.echozAlready been donating a few bucks a month since 2019 now, but this made me discover you added the "supporter email" feature I've been missing. Is it supposed to work right away (it doesn't for me), or will the badge show up after the next payment comes thru?

Regardless, thank you for all the great work over the years :heart:

Hi, you can actually ensure it works by using the Patreon account linker.

Quoting: EgonautAfter what R* did with GTAV, I will not buy any of their games anymore. You can never know if they will prevent you from playing a Single Player game.

It's unlikely RDR1 will have an online mode*, so no reason to put anticheat in.
(*) unless maybe they incorporate RDO into the package, which I doubt, given they don't even maintain it and would probably rather people just stop playing it.

The PC release as noted in the article has no online mode for RDR.

Quoting: StalePopcornIs this [launch option] going to disable being able to use the mouse, like what others are experiencing with God of War: Ragnarok?

That's probably very game-specific.

NVIDIA users also need to upgrade at least to driver version 550.54.14.

I know this is beta but this would be kinda difficult to me to achieve ☺️

550.54.14 was released back in February. The PPA [External Link] is your friend, although it really shouldn't be needed.

Quoting: thoughtfulhippoThat's really disappointing about the Humble partner program. I always whacked the slider up for GOL, but now you don't even seem to be able to tell that any of the money is going to a partner. Previously it was very obvious.

Thanks for doing so before, a good few people did the same, so it's a genuinely huge loss for GOL overall.
