Quoting: Wernersorry but i really must rant now, i can't hear that crap anymore about Manjaro or Arch based distributions, i get a lot of support requests because many sites now make articles that Manjaro is great for beginners or First Time Users :><:, sorry but WTF, no it is not great for beginners. Normal users don't need f**king bleeding edge the only thing they need is a updated hw stack and a stable base thats it.

If we're going to throw around generalisations, then I'll go with: Users want to be able to run the software they want to run. When it come to running non-standard type stuff, it's way easier to point a user to the AUR than to explain PPAs or Flatpak or such things. Same with drivers. "Bleeding edge" has its downsides, but Linux gaming is currently a teenager undergoing a huge growth spurt... you kind-of want the most up to date vulkan/gpu driver/ etc.

Also, Manjaro is hardly bleeding edge. It's just the right amount of conservative. imo.

I think Arch-based would be the sensible option here. Arch-derived distros just seem way more stable and upgrade-fubar-proof than debian-derived ones.

Doom Eternal? Really? What are your sources?

It's on Stadia.

And before anyone jumps in to tell me "it's not the same thing", it very much is. In fact, it is generally recommended for Stadia developers to get the game working on regular Linux first *before* adding in all the Stadia gubbins.

Honestly it's probably less cost and effort to just release a native Linux port of Doom Eternal as they pretty much have that already. Silly id/beth though.

How can no effort beat effort ? Beth dont want to port to linux so free ports via proton beat no expense whatsoever that way you get even more people buying your game.

No effort for iD means effort for the Proton team and vice versa.

yes but the Proton team is being funded by Valve so again wheres is the motivation to port the game

It's already ported. A native Linux version already exists.

Quoting: KohlyKohlI feel most of this content should have been in the game to begin with.

If this were the case the game would not even be released yet. Also, if they think up an idea now, they can't go back in time to add it to the game. I understand the feeling of missing content etc, but what you're basically saying is they should not add anything to the game after the initial release, which means fans of the game have nothing new to look forward to.

Not seeing a release build yet.

For Steam Play, there was a 'race condition' that could cause some games run through Proton to end up redownloading. Very annoying, good to see it fixes.

This only affected one game for me, but it resulted in a 75GB re-download.

Quoting: PatolaIn a perfect world, we would have Loki, LGP and Desura back now with no DRM.

Wasn't Desura involved in some shady business concerning not paying the developers? Don't know if that's part of a perfect world.

As one of the developers that lost money, it was nothing shady, they just went bankrupt. It sucks, but it happens.
