Blade Runner and Versailles 1685, two big titles from my childish, I could now finish them natively on Linux, thank you very much ScummVM devs team!!!

Retroarch/Libretro works very well on my Linux and it is open source, that all that counts.
More than that, it works on my Raspberry Pi 3 B+ too.
If they forgot to add credits, it's a bad thing, they have to rectify this, it's not correct.
But I didn't forget I was very disappointed when Redream became closed source.
Happily Reicast and Libretro devs continued to port and ameliorate Dreamcast emulator.

Seems like Discord's new "Go Live" feature is not coming to the Linux version

xdg-mime take more than 50% processor each time I launch Discord app on Ubuntu 19.04. It's a pity to not support correctly one of the most important used Linux distribution.

Game manager Lutris just had a huge update with D9VK, Discord Rich Presence and more

I use more and more Lutris to install / manage my games, it became an essential software for me as a Linux player, it's so easy to change Wine version, activate Dxvk or D9vk, restore Desktop resolution after a game quit, install an emulator and so much other handy options.
I like very much this new features in 0.5.3:
- open wine console
- sand boxing bug resolved, no more games files in your personal folders!
- ResidualVM is now functional for Ubuntu users. updated to last git version.

It's impressive how Lutris team had push their gaming platform to a higher level, very nice work.
But they have to make still effort to avoid obsolete installers (scripts), in most (or new) users minds, when Lutris installers do not work, it's Lutris that does not work...But how manage a games libraries installers that will become bigger and bigger?

I don't think all this games have suddenly Linux native port.
Google should use a wine clone like Valve already does with Proton?

Quoting: XpanderRelease the GOG Galaxy client for linux


not gonna buy anything from them before we are getting treated equally to other platforms

Certainly the Galaxy software is not available for Linux. However GOG had invested a lot in Linux players for several years now: availability of Linux game version when they are available, DOS games packaged with Dosbox for Linux etc ...
They deserve more respect from Linux community.

I follow Flyinghead and Retroarch team work from several years now, their work are incredible.
And they always gave support to Linux gamers, that's why I support them on Patreon.

Facepunch adjust their Linux plans for Rust, refunds being offered as it won't continue at all
15 August 2019 at 4:36 pm UTC

They should take this decision long time ago...
Nice 1: they refund their game to Linux gamers without the time played RUST
Nice 2: "Take your refund to support others Linux games developpers..." ? Incredible!
Bad 1: They will not plan to support Proton. Why? Is it so difficult and expensive for them to support Proton?

Anyway, on my side, even if they have finally acted correctly, I will never buy a game from this company, just as I will never buy a game on Uplay or Origin: I give my money first to game developers or companies that support Linux, such as Valve, Feral, Gog... I also buy Windows games that are Wine / Proton compatible.
