Quoting: Colombo"There's a brand new Humble Bundle with all games on Linux, oh my"Not really; if it were "There's a brand new HB with all the games on Linux", then your reading may have been (slightly more) plausible. Here it's clear from the context that he's referring to all the games of the bundle.
Could be read as "All games that are for linux are in this humble bundle"

(By the way, I don't know what the professional use cases might be for the Linux subsystem, but trying to do stuff on an NTFS formatted disk which doesn't recognize unix file permissions sure is irritating.)

Quoting: Crazy PenguinIt's been more than a year since I played with this, but right from the start, you could install an X-server for windows (I think I used something called x-ming), set $DISPLAY inside the console, and launch GUI applications that way. I can't remember if I tried launching an entire desktop environment, but it definitely ran openbox on an X root window, inside windows.Quoting: mayoI believe that most of this "new" Linux Users come from the Windows App Store. thanks to the linux subsystem. I believe i read that one can install the ubuntu gui on windows.Does the GUI work now? I thought it was console only? Sorry for stupid questions, but I have no "Windows App Store" available to give it try :D

Quoting: MicromegasThis easy, secure and reliable recovery mechanism on Linux gives an ease of mind which can't be bought with money on Windows - because Windows lacks a package manager with a central repository of software.They've already perverted the idea of a central software repository into a commercial 'app store'. Once they start really pushing to make it the only way to install 'apps' on a pc iOS-style, they'll be relying heavily on this convenience argument.

(* It's pretty fun & informative to set up a bunch of different *nix VMs, and compare the various tools and documentation on each. Or at least that's what I tell myself while I'm procrastinating my real work.)
(** slightly more on topic -- I think it's pretty amusing that just as there are people who'd like to leave windows, but cannot because of games, there are people who'd be happy to switch from Linux to a BSD, but they cannot, because of, well, games.)

Quoting: ShmerlIt's also good to see that there seems to be an increase of activity lately; last time I downloaded an iso to play around with*, the project seemed moribund.Quoting: wvstolzingLinux becoming more mainstream ... time to migrate my a$s to openindiana 'Hipster Distribution' [External Link]. (Seriously, though, they have ZFS.)I still have an old SPARC desktop with OpenSolaris. Looks like Oracle is going to kill Solaris off anyway, so it's good that illumos is still alive.

The Witcher 3 didn't come to Linux likely as a result of the user-backlash from The Witcher 2

Quoting: slaapliedjeBy 2077 the game will run inside a browser on a low end smartphone.Quoting: ShmerlYou never know... they may release it in 2077 when Cyberpunk is real and it's a Golden Oldie Retro. Might even release on a Micro-Mini-SSD card? :PQuoting: Whitewolfe80Well witcher 3 was never officially cancelled CD and Valve just stopped talking about itValve never talked about it. They just posted two ads, clearly sanctioned by CDPR. And while it was never officially cancelled, it was de-facto cancelled.

People laugh at Stallman and the FSF for what sounds like an inane obsession with the 'GNU/' nomenclature, but they do have a point. Besides, a few things could have happened at slightly different times around 1991-1993, and we'd all be hailing UC Berkeley Department of CS & McKusick et al. as the inventors of our free OS. Also, Ritchie & Thompson probably deserve to be have 'household name' status as well, just as much as Linus.

Quoting: KimyrielleHe can be a totally rude jerk, and the fact that he invented the OS of our choice doesn't change that he needs a crash course in basic manners.Sorry to go off-topic, but what he did was not to invent an OS -- rather, he reverse engineered the kernel of an OS that was ~20 years old at that point. This is not to detract from his achievement, of course; but I suspect part of the reason why he's such an insufferable **** is that we casually tend to give him credit for developments in computing that he had nothing to do with.

If CD Projekt thought there was a viable (given what THEY think of as viable) market for their product on Linux, they would have initiated the project, regardless whether the Linux community is made up of saints or demons sworn to eat the developers' babies.
Where there's money to be made, civilized behavior becomes a trivial side issue. Also, the stock exchange speculation looks a bit fanciful.
If user impoliteness were an issue for ANY software company, we would have none left.
