I played the book (and many of the series) back in the '80s. It was great fun :-)

Rogue Stormers from the Giana Sisters developers is now on Linux, an action heavy platformer

I can report that with some help from the game devs, I can now start the game from the command line! However it still doesn't launch from the Steam application.

Is anyone else having this problem?

The game, however, is great fun and the controls are very responsive.

Quoting: wvstolzingopenSUSE Tumbleweed is my favorite rolling distro.
*Way* more reliable than Arch in my experience; nothing arbitrarily breaks every two days.
Good choice!

At the moment I am using Leap 42.1 as my chosen platform and have had very few video or sound issues with my 170-odd installed games. Video card is a GTX 980.

The only problems I have encountered are sound crackling in Life is Strange and D : OS, which I think is a PulseAudio problem; and the missing body problem with Mordor for which I have applied the "__GL_ShaderPortabilityWarnings=0 %command%" fix.

Quoting: GuestLack of a competitive e-mail client is truly the bane of Linux for business. If it wasn't for that, Linux would have a much easier time competing in the business space.
I think Thunderbird would hold up very well with its capacity for multiple identities and multiple accounts.

At my workplace, however, we are still using XP or 2000 and Lotus Notes... :-(

Whilst I am very excited about the possibly of a Linux release of this game, there are some interesting comments on the DE:MD Steam forum about one-shot microtransactions!
