Quoting: EhvisTrue. But you can install the Twitch App through Lutris and with some fiddling you can make it show your library instead of pointing you to the Amazon app.

Right, I've installed the Twitch app and my accounts are already linked. Could you please explain how to make the Twitch app show the games? Thanks :-)

This is good news and I have claimed the key! On a related note the Amazon Games Client doesn't seem to work at all for me on Linux at the moment, crashing after about 30 seconds.

Can someone remind me which online game retailer we're boycotting this week? I forget ;-)

Apparently Microsoft’s shares fell by 1% after the announcement!

Quoting: WhiteWolfLoL at those comments. Why build other small distros? Why bother... haven't heard such a bullsh*t in a long time. This is the Linux strength, that new people come and build new distributions, propose new ideas. It's natural evolution part with is a process with shaped Fedora/RedHat/Ubuntu/Debian/Arch. If you want one system to rule and evolve in an abomination go use Windows...

Unfortunately, this is not the attitude which encourages developers to build for Linux. Sometimes fragmentation is not a strength as it gives potential publishers and devs a moving target to aim for.

A regular question in Linux gaming forums from devs new to Linux is, "Which distro should I build for?" Of course, fans of different distros will pipe up with their preferred choice and this is not helpful for the developer at all.

Sensible people might suggest aiming for the distro which SteamOS is currently based on. New ideas are great but we must be mindful of encouraging continuing game development for Linux and presenting a united front.

Quoting: samurroAlso lately I have been reminded that using a non mainstream distro (in my case OpenSUSE Tumbleweed) comes with its drawbacks, which at some point, might not be worth it anymore.

The SUSE distros are definitely mainstream. They've been around in various forms since the mid-1990s and aren't going anywhere :-)

I don't know much about the Solus situation, but upon reading this line...

I want to be clear

...I had to laugh. As Liam says, the announcement is incredibly vague. In a situation like that you may as well say nothing :-)

I can almost hear minds whirring away, thinking, "Challenge Accepted!"

They're always available from the Nvidia website.

Related, maybe. Tim Sweeney on 27th September:
"We aren’t touching NFTs as the whole field is currently tangled up with an intractable mix of scams, interesting decentralized tech foundations, and scams."

Tim Sweeney on 15th October:
"Epic Games Store will welcome games that make use of blockchain tech provided they follow the relevant laws, disclose their terms, and are age-rated by an appropriate group. Though Epic's not using crypto in our games, we welcome innovation in the areas of technology and finance."
