They have expressed interest in a Linux port before.
That's on top of the two links in the article showing they do want to do it.

Quoting: PhiladelphusAs someone with two monitors myself, what do you mean by the "wrong" one? Do you mean the secondary one? Just curious.
Yes, it frustrates me to no end when games don't launch on the primary monitor.

Quoting: STiATYour screenshot isn't doing it much good.
As I said, these are early thoughts and I specifically stated "planning skills need a lot of work" ;)

Quoting: ripper@liamdawe I'm noticing quite a few articles which are very similar to the ones Phoronix publishes (almost simultaneously). I'm wondering whether GOL is sourcing Phoronix, or Phoronix is sourcing GOL, or whether it's just a coincidence and both sites are following the same origin (in this case, mesa-dev list, git repo, etc)? Because none of the sites add a source to the other in any of the articles. I'm not trying to imply anything or mean something ill, I'm just genuinely curious.
More than happy to answer that!

Someone on reddit claimed i was "ripping off phoronix" so I decided to close that off once and for all and show a shot of it in my own personal inbox: http://m.imgur.com/a/bClKd [External Link]

Public mailing lists are easy to follow.

Quoting: hardpenguinIntel HD/Iris graphics aren't exactly the best for gaming, but it's good to know that people stuck with the integrated graphics at least get the chance to try more out.

And don't say that! I am going to buy a laptop with Intel graphics and play a lot of DOTA2 on it!
With the lower performance from Linux ports we've seen compared to Windows, Intel isn't really a fair fight on Linux ;)

Linux market-share on Steam dropped 0.08% in December 2016

Quoting: Purple Library GuyAnd Steam has definitely remained the natural place to go for Linux gamers.
Not necessarily. Linux gamers tend to be averse to DRM and can avoid Steam altogether. The survey simply doesn't represent such users at all.
I'm afraid such users really will be in the minority.

Style? Youre gonna need to explain that one a bit.

Quoting: AnxiousInfusionOh, we must be back on the "Steam survey is inaccurate" side of the pendulum this month.
What? I'm saying it is accurate, have been saying that for quite some time.
