An interview with the developer of DXVK, part of what makes Valve's Steam Play tick

The Linux community unfortunately has the same mentality as any other community and the if-you're-not-with-us-you're-against-us attitude can be very strong and there'll be always someone who is very vocally unhappy or outraged by something.

Whereas it all boils down to us using the OS we want to use (which means software makers must support us if we want our computers to be useful) and us wanting as many people as possible to use it (which means the OS must be fit for general use).

We're getting there, but the constant bickering and animosity between the different parts of the open source community is not helping.

Quoting: STiATSounds like paid advertisment ... the whole article.
No it doesn't.

Not my cup of tea, but it looks excellent in movement: fast and meaty.

Quoting: rustybroomhandleThe word "Linux" was so toxic once upon a time
Why?
I can't tell you why, but I have that impression as well. I guess it comes from the DYI and "it doesn't have to look good because it's free" mentality that was prevalent in the community some years back. It's changed a lot now, but the things people have etched in their brains are not easy to root out.

I wouldn't mind if it were Dark Souls Remastered. There are lava levels there (the Demon Ruins someone else mentioned a few pages back followed by Lost Izalith) very similar to what the image shows. Plus, it's an awesome game which has just recently had a release on Windows and consoles. Fits right in.
System76 have announced a new Oryx Pro laptop model and it's a bit of a beast

This is seriously tempting, but I'll need to see more photos before I can make any decision. The one photo they show looks OK I guess, but if other laptops from them are anything to go by, it won't look or feel high quality. It's not helping that I'm coming from a decade of buying Apple hardware (and installing Linux on them)...

Some pretty broken English there, I hope the game has better writing. Stuff like this puts me off immensely, I gave up (at least for now) on the otherwise excellent Crossing Souls because of it.

It's published by 11bit studios (This War of Mine and the upcoming Frostpunk), who seem very Linux-friendly, nice to see some companies view us favourably.

Quoting: chancho_zombiethen you think I'm just going to shut it off so it stops and it won't let you (please don't turn off your computer).
When Windows, I think it was Windows 98, started to tell "You can shutdown your Computer now", I was joking one day the computers would tell us we must not shutdown them. Well, here we are... ;-)
It was in Win95 already, back in pre-ATX days when turning your computer on/off was done with a hard switch supplying and cutting power to the mobo. The standard was called AT. Perhaps Win98 had that functionality still, but I was fully on ATX hardware by that time.

Corpse Party, a story-driven adventure and horror game can now be played on Linux

I played it on PSP back when it was a thing. It's really great; I liked it enough to go for all endings. It had very good surround audio when using headphones; I wonder whether that's been preserved here. Highly recommended.
