It's kinda strange that they'd drop Linux support from an engine already having it. But to be honest, I see no reason to treat this game different than any other Windows-only game I've bought lately. If it runs well in Proton, I am going to get it (sounds a bit similar to Birth of the Federation, which I absolutely loved back then!).

Let's be honest, Proton has made native ports somewhat obsolete.

Quoting: rgvilla1981Blasphemous. Great game to play on deck. Plus it is linux native.

Your eyesight is probably better than mine! :D

Starfield brings even my desktop to its knees. I couldn't imagine for a second that's actually playable on the Deck. oO

Hogwarts played surprisingly well on the Deck. Not sure I'd want to play BG3 on it, though. The font seems to be small even on my desktop. Right now, I am playing Octopath Traveller II on the Deck and I am loving it!

Isn't reporting toxic chat in a MOBA a full-time job? :p

Good decision. Single-click never seemed to make any sense for me (and probably not for most users). While it always was easy enough to change, the default behavior should be what the majority of users would expect.

Generally, KDE has grown a lot on me over the years. I used to be firmly in GNOME (2) territory for many years, but I never really liked GNOME 3. KDE was trying too hard to look like Windows for a long while, but it's a really good alternative these days. Switched a year or two ago, and not going back to GNOME.

It didn't work for long enough to make my daughter lose interest in it.

*phew*

Quoting: EhvisWell, if they insist on taking away choice when it comes to snaps, then I feel a reduction by at least one user will come in the near future.

Same. I have been using Ubuntu for years, but I am casually in the market for a new distro, because I can't be bothered manually replacing snap-enforced applications after installation every single time. Snap/Flatpak has its use if you want to quickly download and test something, without having to worry about dependencies or security all that much - but why standard distro applications should be deployed as a snap, is a bit beyond me. Yes, I get where it's a bit more secure to run a browser in a sandbox, but it's not that Linux is all that big a target for malware at this time, and most Linux users probably know how to stay safe online.

The only problem for me is that I went through a lot of distros already, so at this point I am not even sure what to replace Ubuntu with. :cry:

Blizzard is the only large publisher I don't own a single game they've made. This is a company I'd really love to see go bankrupt, unlikely as this is to happen anytime soon. If Microsoft manages to buy them after all, I guess they might have to rethink their predatory business models, though. You can say a lot of bad things about MS, but so far they've kept their games mostly clean of that stuff.

Happy Birthday, GOL! :)

I think in 14 years, Linux will do some amazing things. Maybe....like...conquering the smartphone market, powering supercomputers, or running the world-leading PC-gaming handheld!

Oh...wait...nevermind! :D
