Add ObscureOS No Users Edition [External Link] plz.

No, I jest... but where does the line get drawn? Should there be an option for the guys who do Linux from scratch? Maybe it would be better served to have a text box option if one can't find their distro on the list.

Rust has now sold over 30 thousand copies on Linux

Before we proclaim that Linux users earned Facepunch an extra 700K, let's remember that a huge proportion of those sales were probably at a discount. I would be willing to bet the true figure is several hundred thousand dollars lower. And that's not a Linux problem, PC gaming in general is huge on price cuts and seasonal sales.

That name couldn't be more appropriate. These games were before my time but I may have to give them a go.

Ballistic Overkill FPS updated, lots of changes and still works great

Same exact situation here. I really liked the idea of a "Halo" on Linux but nobody ever gets on Storm United. I think that because the FPS market is so oversaturated, bots have become necessary for multiplayer-only shooters to survive.

There are videos with Ben Lesnick reporting confidently that "Linux will be on or near Windows release" and I can't help but smirk knowing that without even a Linux demo build today, there is no way they will meet a day one launch.
Have a link to the vids of Ben ? There's that much regards SC it's hard to find anything specific.
We should see a Linux version "around launch". [External Link]

I would like to recommend a wiki page background:



No, but seriously Killing Floor 2 and Dungeon Defenders II should also be added. Or can I just create a wiki account to submit them myself? I have compiled large lists of games that are missing from various Linux libraries which, in the past, I have contributed to Redfern's List of missing GOG Linux ports. [External Link]

New version of the itch store app is out, better Arch Linux compatibility and other fixes

I want to like Itch in everything they do. Certainly a model for Steam and others to follow. But a quick glance at their catalog reveals it dominated by dating sims and romantic visual novels. Or am I just crazy?
