Quoting: fabertawe"You will experience problems occasionally but I'd call these niggles and I've never had one I couldn't solve quickly just by checking the forums or Wiki. Call me perverse but I actually like problem solving any issues anyway!"

Haha, that describes me too.. I do run into issues occasionally when I'm upgrading packages, but it just forces me to do a little reading and applying work arounds. Normally 5-10 min distraction and everything is back up and running.

I started out with Ubuntu, but found many stability problems over the years, especially on big updates. I then switched to Debian when I went full time Linux. Super stable, but it's much harder to get the packages you want. I had been reading good things about Arch, so I tried Manjaro as an easy way to enter the world. Installation was a breeze but after a few months of tweaking I managed to destroy my installation (probably my own fault).

I wanted to build my own Arch system from scratch, but I found I didn't have the patience or time or experience to do it myself at that point. So I tried Antergos, and it's been fantastic... Easy to install and maintain, I use lordheavy's mesa-git repo to get the very latest drivers with gallium-nine enabled and it's been awesome to see the improvements over the last 2 years.

Lastly, I just switched to Gnome+Wayland as default for about a week now. The main thing blocking me from using Wayland was Kodi's buggyness through xwayland (I would get stuttering and flickering). I now use Max Kellermann's fork of Kodi with Wayland support [External Link], it's not perfect.. But there is no stuttering. Unfortunately this isn't on AUR yet, but if I ever get time to do some tinkering I may add it myself.

So, welcome to Antergos.. It's great =).

I prefer not to buy Windows games if possible, but I love my Blizzard games and I really wanted to play Doom since it was the first PC game I ever played in the 90s...

The Vulkan performance is very exciting... Hopefully an indication of the future of Linux gaming.

Doom 2016. The upcoming Prey game and Half-life 3... Any of these would be instant buy.

I'm not sure how I got this game, if it was part of a bundle or if I just bought it on sale, but it plays pretty well using gallium-nine. I didn't go back to it however, as I was having trouble getting it to recognise my old gamepad. I haven't tried it since I got the steampad, so I really should try loading it up again...

I do hope they can fix the issues and bring it natively, sounds like they did most of the work. Sad to let it got to waste.

I picked the game up recently on sale. I probably won't be playing it for a few weeks tho. I hope they have it fixed by then.

Maybe my English was a bit confusing. With "many of these issues could be solved" what I was trying to say was "we were able to solve many of these issues". The mouse cursor thing for example, but thanks for the "unclutter" tip.

So in reality, they've fixed a lot of the problems, but it's still not in a releasable state, but they do plan to release a version for Linux at some point. Much patience is needed as always when it comes to Linux ports.

Quoting: JanneGreat game, and I want to finish the story. But I just get too queasy to play after five-ten minutes :(

Try changing the FOV to match your resolution. By default its set too low and gives some ppl motion sickness. I'd go no lower than 85. Bump it up till you get something comfortable for you.

Feral are awesome, gives me hope that we will continue to keep getting some great titles until more developers learn how to release native ports.

I really hope this is true. I bought the first one largely because it had Linux support and I enjoyed the 3drealms version back in the day.
