The best thing about clockwerk is that the only thing living in non-free is nvidia's crap.
So if you don't use nvidia, you will have a 100% DFSG compatible distro loaded with graphics drivers inteded for gaming. That's freedom, right there.
As Valve is heavily involved into fixing the linux graphics, I assume that will be up to date.
As the plagman stated:

We've been helping @Croteam with their quest to resolve frame pacing and stuttering problems that have been affecting all gaming platforms for a long time; the Linux graphics stack lets us create solutions.

Quoting: razing32In my humble opinion unifying will not work , but I could be wrong.

Of course unifying would work!
Single desktop environment. Everybody enlightenment and sloppy mouse focus.
No you are not allowed to update your software, you will wait until the maintainer allows you to.

But yeah... unifying would only work if everybody would finally accept that I have the one true desktop.
Actually the only reason I condone chromeos on my chromebook is because chrome works, and chrome needs an entire machine for itself. Chrome on a chromebook can crash the system, but it will restore all tabs. Chrome on a desktop is capable of bringing the machine down.
I really hate how chromeos does not correctly do sloppy mouse focus. It's so wrong having to raise a window to type something in it.
It doesn't have workspaces... Even OS-X got workspaces after 12 years... Windows got (non-functional(!)) workspaces since 1998 or so...

So my primary environment is enlightenment with sloppy mouse focus.
I install fvwm2 with a good config for noobs that don't know how to use computers, because noobs should not be bothered with a start-menu.
So I myself am already anti-unifying it.

What I do hate about linux is the complete lack of using existing infrastructure...
Corba was invented and used as X11-ICE. X11-ICE worked like a charm. So what happens if you do that, well if you have multiple seats and a single user, netscape was able to treat each seat as a seat. Mozilla however kept opening new windows on the first seat. I think it took more than 8 years before people in gtk land realized that there are seats.

Anyway I should stop rambling about that.
It might be handy to have an easier way to de-unify your specific distro.
Although ubuntu does it in a handy way with PPA. You can install a core ubuntu, and then add your own repos using core ubuntu infra (ppa's). That's not really easy with debian.

You know what, I should just drink 2 more cups of coffee.

Can we turn around the filter to say that I only want games with a sexual content?
I am not a fan of violence though :-).

As a side note, I think this will be time for MoltenVK and that means Vulkan.
If Apple would have any sense they would switch to Vulkan, instead of a proprietary standard.

I've heard a developer say that the only reason he also has mac as a platform is because it is so easy to generate the mac version. As for money it wasn't worth any hassle. Now I don't know what he said about the linux version, as I was playing edeejay at the same time.

Edit:
Relistening to his live stream: the mac and linux version are only there because it is so fucking easy.

Yes, the developer is live debugging and testing his game. FortressCraft evolved is awesome.

Anyway: for the selfhosters:
* gitlab
* gogs
* gitolite
In order of decreasing resource usage. (maybe more?)

I can't stop thinking about their recent successful FUD actions in Munich. So I will not trust Microsoft.

I've got good reasons to believe it is GTA4.
