Getting more games to work is great, and I thank all the contributors to the Wine projet.
However I think the priorities needs to be redirected.
Instead of supporting all the newest games, Wine should focus on solving every single annoyance that _still_ keeps happening with the old versions of Microsoft Office 2010 or 2013. This should be Wine if not Codeweavers priority in my humble opinion.

If you want to convert enterprises to Linux, MSOffice is unfortunately a must-have, and therefore efforts should be made to make it run 100% flawlessly; ten years and MSO 2010 still has some rough edges that makes it sometimes unusable or very buggy, hence not usable in a professional environment (and MSO 2013 crashes pretty often or just does not work great).

I'm always stumped to see the latest AAA games runs at 120fps while the wildly more used office 2013 still can't do basic stuff without crashing/being unresponsive :(

tl;dr: Instead of improving some new games that will be use by a few number of users, Wine and Codeweavers should focus their effort on supporting apps that are wildly used in the professional world like MS Office, so that more user could switch over to Linux while still being able to continue working with the tools their company chose.

This is where I'm happy to own 4 Steam controllers ;)
Praise be sc-controller

The Hexcells game are great, and for the 'infinite' one, user-created puzzles means it effectively has infinite replayability.
This is great.

For those who wants a harder challenge, I recommend Tametsi [External Link], which takes Hexcells to a whole new level.
It's harder, but one could say it's better ;)

This looks like Evo Explores [External Link], minus the colors ;)

Please stop spreading stereotype about French people.

I'm not sure why you think we "can't read english"?
Perhaps because most of us who can participate in forums and threads are doing so in a way that makes it hard for you to tell the difference between a native english speaker and us?
Most of my friends, if not all, do speak, read and write English almost fluently.

When you say

Quoting: 3zekielFrench people tend to not be so good at learning languages

, I'd argue it's a fallacy.
However, you are proving that French do have a bad habit of bad mouthing their own country, unfortunately. :/

That bundle is worth it just for Iratus!

It's a great game.
Too bad after 3 millions copies and 19 updates they still did not manage to support the Steam controller.

Having to close Steam, launch sc-controller with the specific 'dead cells' configuration, then relaunch steam, then launch Dead cells is a chore.

Message for the devs; "Chers développeurs, pensez à vos joueurs et implémenter le support natif du Steam controller sous Linux, merci !"

I always finds it weird when I read people complaining about AMD hardware.

I've been gaming with an HD 7950 for years, and recently switched to a vega64, and both cards allowed me to play flawlessly all my games, including lots of AAA.
Not sure if performance could have been better, but being able to play in ultra without stuttering (except in PoE, about 4 years ago) was pretty common.
It's even better now with Vulkan!

Thanks AMD ;)

Now, if only KDE PIM could get some attention...I mean, there hasn't been any QA since Akonadi came into play, like 8 years ago.
This has been 8 years of hell when using the calendar (and kmail too; take a look at that 9 years old bug https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=283682 [External Link] ).

Somehow, for 8 years the Korganizer app did not had a single feature added (apart 2 redesign of its events), but still is the best calendar app that exists on Linux.
The horrorifying Nepomuk app was killed after years of tormenting their users ; please kill Akonadi (with fire) now.

For new users, Plasma might be as great as we want (it is!), in the first month of use when they'll lose access to all their emails, events, tasks and rss feeds history, you can bet they will flee Linux running to where they came from.

KDE PIM needs new developers that dogfood their app. Too bad throwing money at the kde ev did not meant I could ask for KDE PIM to improve..and there are not bounty program that list Korganizer that I know of.

Oh well.
