Quoting: TheRiddickwhat engine is it using? looks like valves engine or something.

I think it uses Vulkan in the Unreal Engine 4: https://boards.greenhouse.io/1047games/jobs/4106694004?t=ecbc1b904us [External Link]

Are they looking to start charging for this game or will it remain free to play?

If you are a gamer, it is still better to stick with with Ubuntu/Pop_OS or Manjaro due to the udpated kernels and work into MESA that you will miss from Debian being locked down for 2 more years. You can always go with the Testing or SID branch though. If you want that bleeding edge, may as well just do Manjaro.

I'm used to it being in the mid 90s Fahrenheit where I live in the southern United States

Waaaaay too expensive and no Cherry MX keys. Easy pass.

Quoting: finaldestThere is only one way to ensure that Ubi and other big publishers bring over their games and that is to support Valve and Linux by doing the following:-

Buy the Steam Deck.

I am doing my part, I have pre-registered for the top tier unit with a Q2 2022 order/delivery estimate. Cannot wait to get my hands on one. I have heard on the web that over 100k units have already been ordered. If this is true then this is an brilliant start.

Buy the Steam Deck and keep the Linux based Steam OS 3.0. There are a lot of these "tech YouTubers" who keep telling people to wipe the Steam Deck and install Windows on it. Ignore them.

Games like this are great in concept, but the player bases are very low if it’s not a Call of Duty, CS:GO or Fortnite.

Quoting: 14The only reason I don't have the Heroic Launcher is because it's another store to manage. It's great for Linux gamers to be at the same point that Windows gamers have been at, where you have game launcher overload. I'd say it's the main reason I don't have any games installed from the Epic store even though they release free games that you can get working with Wine / Proton. It's like I'm at capacity for this kind of stuff: Steam native, Proton, Lutris, Battle.net, Origin, minigalaxy, itch.io... I'm happy that the Heroic Launcher is available for those that want to use it. :)

I have a lot of games in GOG and have used GameHub and Lutris in the past to run non Linux games. GameHub doesn't really get a lot of updates and Lutis runs like garbage when trying to use GOG Galaxy. If the Heroic Launcher adds GOG support and acts like a GOG Galaxy for Linux by combining multiple stores and the option to use Proton with them, I'm all for it.

I don't have Wine installed, but I have Steam with the latest Proton and Proton-GE, for which Heroic finds. Am I supposed to also have Wine installed or can I just use Proton directly?
