The gameplay actually kinda reminds me of Star Wars Battlefront in a good way :)

Nearly six years after the Kickstarter, Stainless Games claim Carmageddon is still coming to Linux

I'd say if it's ever released for Linux, tell everyone you know to buy a Linux version, play it for 110 minutes then everyone refund it back to Steam :) ;)

The 'GPD Win 2' could be an interesting device for Linux gaming on the go

Quoting: Tiedemann
Quoting: chimpyThere's also the 10 inch Chuwi tablet. It's got similar specs as the previous GPD, but cost like 190$.

I think it also comes with Android, but not sure.
I'd wait for a sale on Teclast X3 Plus instead. I had everything working pretty good out of the box on that, though you need to config the touch screen in the usual not so user friendly way. I added another WiFi driver from AUR that worked better.
I am not saying it works as well as having a laptop but I guess it all depends on the use. It's also around 6 months ago I tried stuff out on it so I guess things have gotten better since then.

I had a Chuwi Hi10 but there was too much fiddling to get things to work on it. It was a year a go I think so don't remember much anymore (I don't have it anymore either) but the whole experience was a lot better with the X3.

Don't mean to sound like I know everything about this, I just want ppl to spend some quality time with Google to make sure they really know what works and not, especially out of the box and/or with easily available drivers.
There's more and more Chinese tablets/laptops coming out and it's always good to see peoples experience with them on Linux whether they work well or not :)

Steam now has a form of platform-specific wishlisting, to help developers see demand

Just added Bioshock 1 + 2, Borderlands 1, and the Witcher 1 + 3 since we have some games from those franchises on Linux. Hopefully developers pay attention :)

There's a big Aspyr Media sale on Steam right now, grab some great Linux games

Quoting: LeopardI have a question.

I never played anything related to Borderlands. Should i pick Borderlands 2?
Lol get both. I have about 300 hours of play time for each game and they're both good. The main difference is that the pre sequel takes place on the moon, so you have moon physics. Plus you have to manage your O2 supply at times.

Quoting: burningserenityEven in its very early Early Access state, this is my GOTY on any platform. By the time it's actually done, it just might be the best game of all time.
Lol I wouldn't go that far, but I played it during a free weekend and it was extremely addictive :)

The recent Linux port teaser from Feral Interactive seems to be coming to Mac first now

I'm looking at the recommended specs for Bioshock Remastered for Windows (minimum GeForce 670/recommend 770), and it makes me wonder how many Macs out there will be able to handle it

For anyone with eperience with this emulator: what's more important, the CPU or the GPU?

Hover : Revolt Of Gamers, a Parkour game styled a little like Jet Set Radio is on Linux

I still have the OG Jet Grind Radio for the Dreamcast, man I loved that game, but does this one also have tagging like JGR had?
