If it is unshackled from copy "protection" schemes then I'm in.

Humble Store has a Summer Sale on, here's a look at what's going for Linux

They have chosen the best time of summer to do this, they aren't stepping on the feet of other stores doing the same thing. But I am still apprehensive about buying any games from IGN.

The latest Linux-powered 'Atari VCS' update gives a small behind the scenes look at their progress

Quoting: hummer010I still don't get the Bristol Ridge decision. Raven Ridge seems like a much better choice. I might be willing to actually buy it if it was Raven Ridge...
I had to jump through flaming hoops and drag my rear through a thousand miles of glass shards to get my hands on a Raven Ridge (35W). To the latest of my knowledge, OEMs aren't able to get 35W RR in volume still which is why there haven't been (m)any prebuilts with it yet. I suppose Atari could raise the thermal envelope for the VCS to get current batches of Raven Ridge but they probably want it to be as silent as possible.

Oh and I almost forgot!: Raven Ridge (any TDP) is still unstable on Linux with AMDGPU. It is prone to hard lockups which require force reset and, to add insult to injury, Raven Ridge Linux systems often need to be booted several times before successfully bringing up a graphical session. It doesn't matter if you have kernel 4.15, 4.16, 4.17, AMDGPU is simply incomplete for Raven Ridge as of right now.

So I can understand their decision to go with Bristol Ridge. It is still a fast chip.

(but if I want to use Libreoffice or GIMP, I will switch to Unity. Really hate the notification bar above)
You mean the task bar on top? Isn't there an extension to move it elsewhere?

Quoting: WorMzy...That way, if (for example) gog start wrapping games in wine (do they do this already?), there won't be an argument for adding another "do you use..." question.

Basically, I think it's better to have one question regarding wine-based play, than potentially dozens.
They do with Flatout 1 and 2.
