Quoting: CommanderThe one and only review, "This game is too buggy to play in linux."
No thanks, already got two broken games, Dying Light and Bioshock Infinite.

I play Bio shock infinite on my Arch machine and it's super fast without any bugs. I have not tried Dying light yet.

Can you please add another option on your Survey.

I DON'T dual boot and never will because Windows and Linux on one hard drive is a recipe for failure. Why, because Windows will certainly fail and when it does, you can kiss your Grub goodbye. Well, not always, but still. And you don't want windows to have "access" to your Linux partitions or the power to delete those partitions etc. However, I do need Windows for one reason only, Far Cry 4.

Instead, I have a HDD power switcher and two separate hard drives. One is my Samsung 850 Pro 1TB SSD with linux on and the other is a normal Seagate 1TB HDD with Windows 7 on. Each has it's own bootloader. On windows, it's the old MBR and on Linux, I am using Gummiboot with UEFI.

Whenever I want to play Far Cry 4 (I hate Ubisoft for not making AAA Linux games (yet)), I make sure my linux SSD is switched off. Then I make sure my Windows hdd is switched on. Then I power up my pc and there you go.

So please, on the next survey, please add an option for "I am using separate hard drives with each it's own boot loader and using a hdd power switcher to control power to them manually."

And sorry, I almost forgot about the questions:

- Why do you dual boot?
I don't. But I use seperate hdd's and seperate bootloaders so that I can play Far Cry 4.

- Do you see yourself first as a gamer, then as a Linux user?
No, Linux user first, then gamer. However, I game a lot on Linux.

- Are the 1000+ games on Steam and hundreds more on other sites still not enough for you to be a 100% Linux gamer?
Far Cry 4. One game causing me to use Windows. Literally just the one game. So no, 1000 000 games wouldn't be enough if there is one game I cannot play.

- If you feel so passionately about Linux that you’ll take questionable actions to defend it, then why not do the most simple thing and stop gaming on Windows?
I don't game on Windows, except for Far Cry 4 dammit. :-) I even have steam starting up in big picture mode on Windows just so that I can immediately launch Far Cry 4 , play and then restart my pc when I'm done.

- As someone with a tendency towards a specific genre, do you feel the current Linux suggestion doesn't cater to your gaming needs?
It caters well enough to have kept me gaming on Linux for at least the last 3 years, however, on occasion as for far Cry 4, I need to boot up windows.

I will wait for one more performance update before I buy. I am still a little sceptical , but happy they are fixing it !

I am running arch Linux and I always wonder, what about all the other distros ? It seems like they only have ubuntu and mint, but what about the endless amount of other distros ? There used to be an other category as well. I'm sure that can make up a percentage at least for some games.

The SteamDB guys even note "Relax people, it's most certainly not Half-Life 3".
