Proton is nice indeed but having a Feral port is so much nicer. They took the time to optimize it to out system, ensuring all works great and they reply quickly to support issues. I contact the support once about Dirt crashing, they found very clicky that my keyboard was the problem. Yeah,the keyboard was guilty. I would have never thought of it myself. Thanks Feral

Just bought it, it works perfectly on NixOS via steam-run (even if i was not able to launch it via the steam client but command line worked fine). The game is fun. It feels indeed a bit like the creeper worlds (that i love so much!) but the gameplay is actually very different. Assembling pieces is fun and enemies destroying blocks create patterns in unexpected ways (the gameplay is maybe much more subtle than at first sight).

We might have a chance to see Borderlands 3 and Destroy All Humans on Linux finally ? But I highly doubt we'll get the other as Zenimax and CDPR are not Linux friendly.

At least Stadia will force these studio to have Linux developers, to develop for Linux (Debian+Vulkan), and learn how to release on Linux.

I find it unbelievable that one-person studios like SupraGames (Supraland) can manage to have a working port but big AAA studio can not. Would it be that these one-person studio are actually be made of skilled devs while big studio are only composed of juniors?

Thanks Liam for talking about it. I'm very suprised that such a thing could not be caught on the release test phase. On the first release to a platform, it is a good idea to test the release process by acting as a regular user.

The performance is definitly not abyssmal. I get 45 fps on medium settings on an old 280X.

I'm very surprise by the comments, I've been playing the game for a while on Arch with the GOG versions. I never had any issue.

Quoting: appetrosyanSurprisingly this post makes me Ok with it. Not because he's right, but because I don't want to give him any money for being so stupid.

Could we avoid to insult devs and especially devs that port their games on Linux. Furthermore, if the game is really DRM-Free on Steam, what you describe is possible (it's just a copy!)

DRM-Free on Steam does exist! When a game is DRM-Free on Steam, you don't need to login to play. You can even use steamcmd to install games without the client. Indeed it's a bit more complex that downloading a file from a website but actually it's more convenient because stemcmd deal with lots of stuff. When the download is complete, you can backup the game directly the way you want, move it where you want and play without Steam. I've tested it myself several times! Steam is not a DRM but Steam offer a DRM solution for the devs who want it. It's up to the devs to make their game DRM-Free or not on Steam.

Honestly, where's the problem about Supraland not being on GOG? The game is available DRM-Free on a store with first-class Linux support. That's already a very good situation.

Besides, if we look at the comments on GoL about GOG: few years ago there was a vast majority of comments showing there love for GOG. But recently, most comments I see about GOG are negative: no galaxy, no game updates, no multiplayer on Linux, no update patch, etc. There are still GOG enthouasts of course, but it's safe to imagine that many Linux users who used to support GOG actively gave up. It is well known that Linux market share is around 0.9% on Steam but do we know how much it is on GOG?
