Quoting: ElectricPrismWhere I'm from bloody isn't a cuss word, if we could just drop the classist barrier intentionally created by the rich and poor to segregate people by their speech that would be great.
I really hope that isn't a serious comment.

Classist barrier? Really? Shut up.

Where I am from and where you are from obviously differs in speech, i write as a brit, learn to deal with it.

The Steam Hardware Survey for August 2016 shows Linux has grown again

Quoting: AnxiousInfusionWhat? Nobody is decrying the inaccuracy of these "irrelevant" surveys? I guess that only happens when the number goes down...
Well, duh, people like to see positive things in a positive light, go figure.

Quoting: SnevDon't want to be harsh and don't take it personal, but I have to disagree on the fact that this "certainly something now". If it's -0.2% it's the fault of statistics. If it's +0.2% it's good news? That aside, for me personally, as long as it stays or increases periodically I'm pleased.
You're reading my words in the wrong way.

"certainly something now" in the context I am using it, means it's better than nothing.

Also, who doesn't like to see a positive exactly?

Quoting: coruunSorry for my lack of insight, but what is the role of GOG, here?
GOG and CDPR (TW3 developer) are part of the same company "CD Projekt".

Sadly it looks like Shadow Warrior 2 won't be a day-1 Linux release

Quoting: t3gWho buys games on day one anyways? They are usually buggy, require multiple patches, and has content locked behind paid DLC and season passes. Plus, there are Steam and GOG sales in addition to G2A and Kinguin.
People still use G2A and Kinguin after the amount of crap they pull? Come on, don't advertise their use here.

Quoting: hardpenguinThe Steam depots are in place, so I don't think it is cancelled or anything like that ;) And a delay is not a tragedy for minor platforms.

Well all know games that have depots that we are waiting on though, having a depot doesn't really mean all that much any more, indicator yes, but with them silently removing Linux info :(

To be clear, I am not talking SteamOS here, but desktop Linux.

Quoting: dubigrasuHm, the screen-zoom and the keyboard, I have them both working here.
Oh, and the controller working with steam closed, that one is working too. And I mean that is always working, even in the motherboard's bios or while using the grub etc.
Really the "Toggle Magnifier" option actually works for you?

What distro and desktop are you on?

Become a futuristic gladiator in the upcoming 'Killing Room', an unforgiving rogue-like FPS
1 Sep 2016 at 11:52 am UTC

I don't get people comparing it to Killing Floor, it's a single-player rogue-like FPS that doesn't resemble KF at all to me.
