They also now have a Postal 2 Humble Widget, although for the moment at least it is just another Steam storefront:

Quoting: philip550c

Quoting: OrkultusSoldier of Fortune, and Kingpin: Life of Crime.

How do I get those two?

Legally? With difficulty. Unfortunately.

I would definitely have had all of the native id Tech games on this list (at least the more recent ones) but it is nice to know that Linux gaming has broadened its horizons enough that one can make a list that does not include any of them.

Quoting: AnonymousSeriously people, all your parroting without owning products you're talking about is mind numbingly awful. STFU unless you OWN/currently use them.

Well, Intel works fine in my brother's laptop for the admittedly low-intensity gaming he does, and I love the Radeon HD 4670 with R600g that I have in my machine. Handles all the gaming I want to do with decent performance and good thermal output, especially when considering all the driver improvements that have happened over the past year. The Radeon HD 5750 that I recommended to my other brother has also been running really well, except for a few minor issues regarding HyperZ.

At this point I would never touch a blob driver - it is just too difficult to maintain, especially since I use either Arch or Fedora which tend to operate fairly close to upstream.

Never encountered the mouse problems myself, even in games where Liam encountered them. :|

Quoting: philip550cI'm guessing since they are supporting ubuntu/mint that it will be deb files.

I certainly hope not; as Ryan Gordon said in his Steam Dev Days talk, it is never worth the trouble for game developers to actually integrate themselves into distribution's package managers.

Also, I was under the impression that GOG prided itself on their own installer solutions? At least on Windows?

Taking another look, there are some OS X DOSBox wrappers on GOG:

Are any of the Dosbox wrapper based games supported on Mac? I have not seen any from a casual glance, and it makes me wonder if they have any plans to do so on Linux.

Regardless, really, really, really, great news! :D

Quoting: liamdaweNot currently, I speak to RuneSoft almost daily behind the scenes ;)

Well, there are two people listed on the RuneSoft Desura profile:

I have also spoken with them in the past, and they both seem to be fielding questions on RuneSoft's behalf on the Earth 2140 page. Not that any of this changes both of our general sentiments on the matter though.

Quoting: liamdaweFrom what I know only one guy is doing the Linux ports at RuneSoft, so don't expect quick releases.

It is actually at least two people, both of which are also involved with the liflg project.

As I have been told myself: "More is on the way but sadly one day only has 24 hours."

The guys working on the Linux releases have a lot on their plates, so it is best to be patient.
