A few adjustments done to the article. Some formatting has been fixed and other bits better explained.

I've updated to link to the Arch Wiki for the resetting bit, according to the Wiki:

Depending on the scaling driver, one of these governors will be loaded by default:
ondemand for AMD and older Intel CPU.
powersave for Intel CPUs using the intel_pstate driver (Sandy Bridge and newer).

Uh, powersave isn't the default governor, at least it shouldn't be. powersave will run your CPU at the minimum freq.
You want ondemand.

Well, to be sure I've updated the text to mention people to use either, thanks for the extra tip.

Quoting: buenaventuraHmm, does this setting the CPU governor to performance impact games otherwise you think (like, with OpenGL on a weak CPU?).

It's not magic, it doesn't suddenly make a weak CPU any better. It's only an issue if when playing games your CPU isn't being set into high performance mode. With OpenGL games it likely always is, since they are generally heavy on the CPU.

Quoting: cRaZy-bisCuiTI'd just ignore them completely until they have some kind of clarification how there sales are counted.

In all fairness it really shouldn't be up to a user to deal with this. We know they don't have keys that let Feral get paid. Again, this is only an external porter problem. All others are fair-game as far as I care.

Quoting: dubigrasuI'm torn about Bundle Stars, I used to buy a lot from them (good prices) but since I found out that all sales count as Windows sales...

Technically, I think that really only matters for external porters.

I'm still pretty sure developers will be able to see key activation's from Linux.

There was a comment some time ago that Bundle Stars only had Windows keys for Feral's games, so don't buy theirs, all others should be fair game.

Quoting: darkszluflooks fun but kinda pricey for what it is.

Well it has single-player, local co-op and online play with 100 maps and an editor. I personally think £8.99 is a good price for it :)

Major issue: Right now loading a saved game while using the Vulkan API might crash and possibly freeze up your system. I've seen it myself now as have others reporting it on the Steam forum.

Unless you're on some weird setup you should get the youtube HTML5 player (which has been a thing for a long time). Also, we have videos in nearly every post...
