Yeah...we try to steer clear of that here and stick to honest reporting.

GNOME Shell with a customized layout is now Ubuntu's official desktop environment. I've been on it since release and it's very stable, but I did install the normal GNOME Shell session to customize it as I like.

Antergos with KDE didn't work out for you?

Now to address that directly. I got tired of issues cropping up when updating, I was taken in by "ooo shiny, updates often" etc etc. In reality, it's not all that stable, especially when it comes to gaming. I'm happy on Ubuntu, it does all I need it to.

Even Linux solely didn't work out for him :D

This again? Yes I have a Windows partition, for many reasons. There's no need to point it out repeatedly in comments. I'm not an elitist and 99.99% of my time is spent on Linux.
I also have a PS4, a Nintendo Switch, an Android phone and so on ;)

Can you try running it in terminal? Put the output in pastebin or something and link here.

Again, you're making a lot of assumptions here. Who's to say they won't look into testing it themselves in future, they've not specifically said they actually will put out a Linux version yet.

Of course I do expect a developer to arrange their own testing environment once they're sure they're going to sell a Linux version. However, there's absolutely nothing wrong with seeing if someone else can test first before they go through with anything.

Anyway, I've said my bit on this I won't debate this any further since I fear this will go in circles :)

I don't really get what's hard to grasp here, but okay.

Being good at one thing (making a game on Windows, that might work on multiple OS), does not make someone good (or make something easy) at something else (Linux).

Quoting: Leopardam i wrong to expect from a dev to be able of installing Windows or Linux?

Yes, you're wrong to just assume everyone should know how to do something.

Quoting: liamdaweKeep in mind that not all developers are some kind of uber geek, Linux is completely fresh territory for some people.

But there is no need to be an uber geek to get a Linux distro ; if you are installing an Ubuntu based distro or even SteamOS. Pretty simple , GUI stuff. Just like Windows.

I don't want them install pure Arch or Gentoo anyway.

I'm not an uber geek too btw.

This is my point, to us installing Linux is easy. You have to imagine how people feel who've never looked into it, a large majority of Windows users/developers have likely never even installed Windows.

People need to step outside the box and understand not everyone is as comfortable as us with new things, especially if say they only have one computer they use for developing their livelihood that they don't want to mess up.

Nothing to do with me, it's user submission (as noted by the author link at the top), I just clean them up (links, spelling etc) and approve them if they're good to go :)

So what you are saying is that you approve of hentai pr0n? Good to know. ;)

Whatever floats your boat, I'm not judging ;)

Personally, I don't plan to change my buying habits.

Until Humble actively work against developers putting up Linux versions, if I see them have a good deal I will talk about it here and possibly buy it. After all, my money isn't unlimited like everyone else I have to be careful with money. I don't like IGN, but they own a service as I use and until they do something shitty with it I will continue to use it.

I understand why people don't like IGN though, as I have my own reasons too and since Humble specifically have a feature to allow you to give them no tip, it's perfectly fair for people to use it. They put that tool up themselves. I don't bother with it though, I tend to leave it at the defaults.
