Semi-unrelated: Garry's Mod recently got an update that makes the game playable and run very well.
Spoiler, click me
For me at least.

I tried it earlier today, but it was broken for me. Once it displayed a bench, but the tracking wasn't working. All the other times the headset was just showing black.

The Culling hopefully won't be broken forever on Linux, the developer does 'value' the Linux community

At least they are reaching out and communicating in a positive way! That's more than what most developers do.

Hollow Knight is my game of the year so far. Highly recommend it if you like Metroidvania games, or just action platformers in general.

Reportedly, the Linux beta isn't accessible at the moment due to, what seems like, a packaging mishap [External Link].

Edit: It got fixed [External Link].

More to the point, is this a real update?

Quoting: LeopardDon't need to wait for ports
I, personally, don't. I play games that are available. I'm guessing those aren't real games?

Quoting: Leopardgetting access to AAA games via in house ports and at the first day
So, indie games and/or ports aren't real games either?

Quoting: Leoparddon't have to worry about port qualities
I would argue that this is an issue on all platforms . Also, I don't see how this affects the 'realness' of me playing the games.

Quoting: Leopardnot try to be considering as a viable platform instead of becoming one.
Linux already is a viable gaming platform. It just has a smaller library than other platforms. Again, why does this affect the 'realness' of the games?

I get that you don't find the games available on Linux adequate, but to make such a broad statement that playing video games on Linux isn't real gaming kind of rubs me the wrong way.
