In many cases it's even easier.

What's harder is people trying to run bleeding edge development code. But that stuff is not supposed to be easy.
I'd say that's usually easier on Linux than Windows as well. :)
Well, it's harder than not having to do it. :P

Never really played outrun, but played tons of Lotus Esprit Turbo Challenge and its successor.

Also, the Steam page says it releases on 15 May, not the 25th. Typo or did they change it?

Quoting: cprnOkay, somebody has to explain why we call deathmatch a battle royale now. What's so different about it to constitute a whole new genre??
No respawns, survival aspect, weapon drops.
For me personally I associate BR with a bigger scale though. I can't really see the concept working on smaller maps with only 10 people because it doesn't really allow enough time to find you stuff before you've run into everyone.

Obviously, gameplay will decide whether this is a keeper. No idea how to judge that yet.

Just multiplayer. And one of the more annoying features is the fact that you can't choose which game mode to join. You get put into a random game.

What I want to know, does Samsai's former copy still count as a Linux sale? :P

NVIDIA dropping support for 32bit Linux this month, also dropping Fermi series support

Quoting: ShmerlDoes this mean they'll stop releasing 32-bit drivers altogether? So let's say Nvidia blob users won't be able to run 32-bit games anymore (including in Wine)? That's quite a huge amount of games really.
No. It was already said somewhere that 32 bit libraries needed to run 32 bit software on 64 bit distribution would be unaffected.

Linux Mint 18.3, cinnamon
For Linux Mint you can add the graphics-drivers ppa to get newer drivers.
