They've been working on this game for.... over 4 years, maybe over 5?

And it just keeps improving, getting so much better. If you were to compare yearly releases, the leaps are really good.

Doom. It's all I want for Xmas. Doom!

It must be very frustrating for a studios employees to not be able to fix *all* bugs and glitches. Priorities change, and money still dictates the world.

Quoting: GuestI want to like and use OpenSuse but I always run into issues with it. How do you get newer nVidia drivers for it? Last time I checked they had the 340 series and that was about a month or two ago.

I don't use the package available and just manually install. Reboot to grub, append '3' to the end of the "linux" line in the boot entry (press 'e' to edit it), F10 to boot, install driver, reboot.

I'm currently investigating how to update the available packages properly, using the fedora negative17 packages as an example. Once that's sorted I'll push them to the official project on openbuild (I maintain quite a few packages already).

Quoting: BeamboomThat said, I do agree that you've been a tad too thin skinned in the past. That seems to have become a lot better now though, something that I personally appreciate.

Oh trust me, I have an entire roll of tinfoil and duct tape covering my entire body that no silly words will penetrate.

Tinfoil is kinda thin and easy to rip... I suggest getting fitted with a fat-suit or something rubbery.

:D

There's just one thing... Be very wary of AUR packages, make sure to read all comments on them. It is absolutely entirely possible for a malicious package to be made and pushed through - not saying it's likely, just that it is possible.

My top distros have been: Antergos, Manjaro, OpenSUSE Tumbleweed, Fedora. Currently sticking with OpenSUSE now, because the RPM tools and the RPM format itself are absolutely rock solid with everything split properly in to devel, debug, and lang instead of all lumped together as in pacman based distro.

How is KDE so far for you? I almost always experience crashes in it. And the absurd amount of configuration available meant I was getting sidetracked trying to find the prefect config instead of working (same reason I ditched tilers). Which is why I use Gnome and apps built for it - they get out of my way and give only what is needed.

Having said all that, I almost always suggest Manjaro for new users these days. It's solid, rolling (but lags a little), works very well for gaming and graphics drivers, and has most software desired. I would recommend OpenSUSE, but Tumbleweed can sometimes have issues with updates (and it is the fastest rolling release I've seen at times), and the Leap variant, whilst stable and based on Enterprise SuSE, is just a wee bit outdated by the time a release is made - openSUSEs trump card is the YaST suite of tools, you really can't top it.

Quoting: Mountain ManAMD has really done a disservice to the Linux community with their poor support. If it wasn't for Nvidia, Linux gaming wouldn't be where it is today.

That's true. But you can certainly lay part of that blame at the feet of ATI before they were bought by AMD. I used ATI once over a decade ago and Linux support was atrocious - sure it worked, but very poorly. Seems this has remained true right up to the last year or two (depending).

Thank you all so much for the support. It really is massively appreciated.

Looks very fun. I hope it will come out on GOG too!

Yep, I'm definitely aiming for a GOG release too. I was actually talking to them about it just yesterday :)

So far this has shown there are three types of people.

The Die-Hard. These gamers won't buy unless there is a proper port or official support.

The Pirate. These gamers don't want to pay for a Windows version, but do want to play the game. They see nothing wrong with pirating it.

The Weiner. They dual-boot and still buy many Windows only games.
