Quoting: MikeHow does Alien run on Linux? Haven't check yet...
It runs very well on my GeForce GTX 750Ti. It started up with low graphics settings after installation, but even after changing most settings to high, the performance is very decent.
Thank you for the update :)

I might finally buy it. I'm halfway to own all of Feral ports, but they port games faster that I can play them :p

What have you been playing recently, and what do you think?

I played mostly 7 days to Die and Company of Heroes 2, but also Shadow of Mordor, Dirt Showdown and Grid autosport, and I finally updated Payday 2 and got back to it. Does't help that the game won't update below 40Gb free space as my small HDD is nearly full.

7 days is great since it renders correctly now on Linux. Before A15 I tended to get black textures under water and the sun was too bright.

Company of Heroes 2 works flawlessly, as every Feral ports I own. Same for Dirt (arcade style) and Grid (A bit more simulation, but still not too much)

Shadow of mordor is a a very pleasant game but quite graphical intensive on my GTX 950m and i5 4100H. Fortunately my resolution is only 1366*768 so I still get more than 30FPS, but not much.

Payday has never been broken for me since it got ported on Linux, that's why I did not understand your post on it. The only thing not working flawlessly was the French language that I had to manually edit in the xml file as Steam enforce English no matter what. Not that it is a challenge, but when you're playing with friends that have their game in French it can be tricky to give information when you don't recall how they named this particular thing in the French version :p

Looks like VR support for Linux will be shown off at SteamDevDays this week, about time

Finally. It was about time! And maybe when they will be done with this they can look into making Steam Broadcast work on Linux too.

Such a great game! I played a lot with some friends until an update messed with the rendering and I couldn't see farther than 3-4 chunks and nothing under water which was pitch black...

Now it's playable again!

Looks like Homefront: The Revolution might be gearing up for a Linux release now

It looks like a solid game. I've seen some let's play and I love the idea of modular weapons. I never played it but sure will do as soon as it lands on Linux and you will have posted your port report :)

DiRT Rally also looks like it's coming to SteamOS & Linux

Any update on this one? Looks like nothing changed in 7 months. Has it been cancelled?

Too bad the Alienware Steam Machine is not on sale in France. But the rest of the Steam Hardware is, as well as some games.

Man O' War: Corsair - Warhammer Naval Battles looks like it's now planned to come to Linux

Great news!
I have had a lot of issues recently with this website, being in France. Pages loaded very slowly, if at all. Glad to know this is fixed now.
