Quoting: LeopardFor example:Witcher 1 needs that kind of Wine port.Simple,install with one click.

Oh, no. Dead wrong in that case. Because The Witcher 1 only needs an engine Upgrade. It runs on Unity 3.5.2f2; Unity works on Linux from Unity 4 on.

Difficult to decide on just one. Fallout 3/New Vegas, Skyrim or Dishonoured would probably be my favourites. Not sure whether Dishonoured 2 and Fallout 4 are any good, so I don't name them now..

Quoting: slaapliedjeSure it does... if it is connected your login screen appears on it and you can use it like a monitor... if you can make yourself go cross-eyed. :)

At the moment that is all the vive does in Linux.

Hmm, no.

Vrui works, see http://www.vronlinux.com/ [External Link]

And I've got Vivecraft working somewhat https://github.com/jrbudda/minecrift/issues/241 [External Link]

And it will be a nice starting point to port your games from Windows/DX9 to Linux/Vulkan.

Note: The game may look like it's suitable for kids, but it does feature some bad language. Just a note for parents.

I really don't understand your obsession with "bad language". I think it's kind of unhealthy and it runs counter to (most) European culture to even care.

370.28 is the newest here on Debian (unstable) anyway, as long as I don't decide to compile and build the packages myself. Usually I don't do that, unless there's a compelling reason to do so. Which there wasn't in that case anyway.

Quoting: NOX LinuX So then Linux users will have to wait for the PPA to get updated,

No. Ubuntu users might want to. Other Linux users probably not.

For Debian, you'll get 370.28 in experimental, but if you want newer ones, you can clone a repo from here: https://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/pkg-nvidia/packages/nvidia-graphics-drivers/branches/ [External Link] and build the packages yourself. See here: https://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers#Building_newer_releases_from_SVN [External Link] for how to do that. And this will get you perfect packages for your distribution, with no screwed up dependencies to foreign repos.

My board can apparently only cope with 32GB, so that's what I have. But maybe it's time to upgrade, in contrast to probably most of you, I only have i5-3570K at 3.4GHz.

Quoting: elmapulwine dont fully support Dx9 yet, the support for dx11 is not a big thing yet and they will fully support dx12?

Wine is an open source project. If you decide to write code for DX12, and nobody else wants to write the missing code for DX9, this is what happens.

Here's a list of what's missing: https://wiki.winehq.org/Summer_Of_Code [External Link]

Quoting: wleoncioWhy the hell should I use SteamOS, which is nothing more than a crippled console OS, when I can use Windows, a full blown operating system???

Actually, Windows 10 resembles a crippled console much more than SteamOS. After all, that "full blown operating system" does come with a mechanism to lend you games that don't really end up as binaries on your harddrive, whereas on the other, you can just "apt-get install" everything, from server to desktop applications.
