Is anybody having issues with their launcher?
The program is eating all of my RAM until crash... and before that I just have an empty/black window. :|
It's a totally fresh install. :S:

Quoting: GuestBuying games with Linux support and supporting Linux gaming is being a martyr? Buying Linux games is what Linux gamers do and should do, lol...but if you want to be a Windows gamer, have at it.

You're on the wrong website, though, because this is for Linux game news, not for Windows games. Go to pcgamer.com or something if you want Windows game news and don't care about Linux games.

Do you think the same if someone play a console game with an emulator on a Linux PC? Is he/she a Linux gamer or not?
Argh, I think this is off topic... :whistle:

Quoting: lqe5433Please port cuphead

Please no. Cuphead is available outside Steam DRM-Free, if Feral do the port we would lose that.
Thanks but no thanks. (See what happened for games like XCOM...)

You don't suddenly lose the existing DRM-free build that doesn't support Linux, if Feral port it and put their port on Steam. That makes absolutely no sense.

Sorry to be confusing, but that's what I meant you're right. To be clear Cuphead is available on Windows/macOS on Steam and GOG.
If Feral do the port we won't have the build on GOG, that's unfair, and worst than other games since Studio MDHR did the macOS port.
Don't you think that would be very frustrating?

Quoting: TheRiddickTry getting a game from GOG for Linux and install it without command line, can't.

What are you talking about? I install and play regularly GOG games without using the terminal.
And sorry, but yes for me Galaxy being not available is itself not an issue for me, and yet, I'm a gamer.

Quoting: BeamboomLook at Apple.
They have 6-7% of the desktop computer market. Big fucking APPLE! One of the richest companies in THE WORLD!! Apple, who spends who knows how many billions on advertising across the entire world has only 6-7%! That's all they've achieved after DECADES fighting for the desktop of the computer users. DECADES, and they are only a few times times bigger than the Linux desktop!
Apple, who has no server solutions, no other PC products to work on other than to market their desktop OS to the end users. Full focus on one thing, and a campaign that started in THE EIGHTIES!

You forgot something, most of Apple users bought an Apple machine. From my point of view, a lot people get confused about Hardware and Software, a lot of them don't understand the differences as they buy Apple products as thinking it's better than Microsoft products.
But we (Linux users, techies...) know that software is not tied to hardware and Microsoft doesn't make a lot of money at selling machines like Apple does.
And you can't really compare macOS and Windows, it's like the plague and the cholera. They basically have the same issues, proprietary software, privacy issues, lucrative companies.
I mean macOS is not really better than Windows, and for the gaming it's really worse.
It's mostly brainwashing to people who don't/can't understand how important it is.
How many people I see with Apple stuff and thinking that : they're cool, Apple is incredible and simple and beautiful and whose people are mostly ignorant about how computers works? A lot.
But you have to keep in mind that all Apple machines are by far more expensive than others so it's a solid argument why so many people can't afford one.

Quoting: BeamboomAnd it works like this: People who are not advanced users go for what they are exposed to at work and amongst friends. They use what their friends use, and see zero reason to do anything else. And as they get more and more familiar with their OS, the more and more it takes for them to change to a new OS and be a "noob" again.
Simple as that.

Yeah I don't disagree with that though, but... again most of them are noobs on the OS they "know", because most of them don't know how to fix it themselves IMO.

Sorry to be a bit off topic but since the Cheeseness's post, I just noticed that a lot of games are now missing macOS releases on GOG.com. I noticed it when searching in the winter sales and got surprised to see for some games, just the Windows and the Linux icons, while I clearly know for some that a macOS version exist.
Apparently on Steam it's not the case, it just display a warning about it.

But damn... that's a serious issue for the Apple environment! :O
Are they shoot themselves in the foot (I mean not with a revolver, but with a rocket launcher), aren't they?

Cheese wrote about that here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/regarding-mac-31349008 [External Link]

I read all this post and this is very interesting, the kind of thing that should be pinned everywhere.
Seriously I hate Apple for a long time but this post made it worst, thanks that's truly useful.
For me this company is worst than Microsoft in many aspects.

OK so I downloaded the game without paying to try it out, I launched a "new hive" directly without tutorial and for now... I played it like 2 hours.
Of course I didn't have enough time to get 600 jelly... the queen died. ^_^
I'll play it more seriously and with the tutorial next time, to be sure to not miss some feature etc.

But yeah very good game, so now I bought it. :)

Quoting: WorMzyMeh, uses gtk3. I'll keep running teams at work on a Windows client.

Why you don't like GTK3? What would you prefer instead?

Mostly historical reasons -- I'm still bitter that the gnome devs just unceremoniously threw gnome2 out the window and said that everyone should use the monstrosity that is gnome3 instead. :sick:
I also particularly don't like Gnome devs hostile attitude towards end users who don't want to use their defaults, their tendency to break themes every six months (allegedly they've stopped doing this now?), and them telling application devs that they should only have code for gtk/gnome-specific "features" (instead of coding for multiple DEs), etc..

What I prefer instead is anything that isn't gtk3. Like I said, I'd rather run a Windows application than a native Linux gtk3 app.

I too can't stand Gnome3. So instead I use Mate and occasionally Cinnamon . . . both of which, I believe, use gtk3. So I feel you're throwing out the baby with the bathwater there.

My view is that it isn't bathwater, it's epoxy resin. The two things are too tightly tied together -- GTK3 is developed by gnome for gnome. They don't care if cinnamon breaks every six months because they changed all the library functions, so long as gnome keeps working. I don't want to deal with gnome's shit, so I don't use gtk3. I'm not attached to that "baby", so I'm not going to waste my time trying to separate it from the "bathwater". :wink:

Quoting: CyrilOr rather, why Qt is better than GTK3?

I don't know, and I don't care which is better, and I don't want to get into that debate; I just don't allow gtk3 on my systems and actively avoid applications that use it (unless I can recompile them to use something else).

I don't know about Cinnamon but as I said I'm using XFCE which use GTK3 but I don't see any breaks when updating, and I don't remember having one.
It's clearly your choice but it seems not really solid to me.
But yeah it's very off topic.
