Worms W.M.D is out day-1 on Linux, here's some early thoughts
23 Aug 2016 at 4:56 pm UTC
Has anyone tried it on SteamOS? I'm assuming if Steam Overlay is not working, as you say, then Steam Controllers also won't work.
The awesome looking RPG, Shiness: The Lightning Kingdom has a new trailer

The Kickstarter page still says the release date is Q1 2015. That's obviously wrong. I would also be surprised if it's a day-one Linux release since it's on Unreal Engine 3. They're probably in for more development headaches than they realize.
Planet Nomads looks incredible and it's officially coming to Linux this month

Quoting: GuestJust makes me wish No Mans Sky was ported to linux.
It's possible they might. They brought Joe Danger to Linux, and the port wouldn't be too big of a leap since it uses OpenGL. It's more my style than this game. Life is enough of a survival game for me. I want to relax and explore the galaxy.

OK, it's gone.

So, does anyone else own it? Yea or Neigh? Sorry, I couldn't resist. I'll try to rein in my humor. No sense beating a dead horse.
Latest Steam Hardware Survey shows Linux has grown, by a tiny amount (updated)

I got the survey this time too. I was pretty shocked.

Quoting: cxphergmailcomAnyone has screen tearing on NVIDIA drivers? There isn't a vsync option it seems.
Vsync is supposedly on by default. I actually get tearing in Starbound but none in Stardew Valley. I'm running the 367.27 driver.
Starbound officially released!

Has any of you managed to get this game running on integrated Intel graphics? My daughter wants it on her computer, and her Nvidia card died.

Quoting: Comandante oardoA true native Linux port is the one that uses a native OpenGL (or VULKAN) engine...
How many true OpenGL engines are there? IDTech 4...5...6... How many more?
All.
I was asking how many true native OpenGL engines are there, besides IDtech?
There are quite a few from smaller companies that have added OpenGL support. Haemimont - the company that made Victor Vran and Tropico, Paradox's engine, Targem Games - the company that made BlazeRush, and probably quite a few more. They're in-house engines, but they definitely have good OpenGL support.

Edit: And Ogre, the engine that runs Torchlight.
