I really think proton is a good thing to help get more people on Linux.

What i don't know is if it is a good idea to buy games that don't support Linux but run with Proton - i'll happily play them if they are in a bundle, but until now i'm refraining from buying them...

The trailer looks really slick - although i did enjoy xen back in the day, i'm really curious what their interpretation feels like :D

Quoting: Perkeleen_VittupääItch really deserves more boost!

true, i always look if i can buy there - but i prefer getting a steam key with it, as steam still provides a "more complete" plattform

Its pretty simple what morale is at stake with BOUGHT exclusives:
Competition!

If bought exclusives somehow became accepted, all the shops would start to just buy exclusives instead of enhancing the experience for the customer - thus in the long term, everything would get worse for the user...no thank you!

Uh, i did not realize ubuntu wants to drop multilib - from the headlines i thought they would only scrap the 32bit installer :O

But i highly doubt the alternative will be Debian, much to conservative with new versions. And packing a PPA with recent Kernels and Mesa for Debian seems kind of the wrong way.

Given they are working on KWin, maybe OpenSUSE? Manjaro might also be a good call...
Anyway, switching away from gnome is a good thing imho xD

yeah, things like this were always an ugly risk for linux-backers...
But the straw that broke the camel's back for me to not crowdfund any games anymore was the outer wilds debacle (combined with phoenix point and shenmue3, although i wasn't involved in those).
Moral of the story for me, more than ever: i only buy games that have working Linux-builds and are (at least kind of...) finished...

Sad for all the games that might not make the cut in future crowdfunding campains, and i doubt the people that betrayed the trust of their backers are really aware of just how much they damaged the whole indie-scene...

Quoting: DrMcCoy

This does mean their future titles are less likely to be released for Linux

They even specifically mention that in the video (with different audio quality too, so it seems that was edited in later):

Quoting: Tim SchaferGoing forward, we will be focusing on Xbox Game Pass and PC

Well, Linux is PC, more than anything else ;)
But yeah, i doubt MS-Studios will release Linux-Ports :/

Quoting: ObsidianBlkI will be honest... I'm very tempted to subscribe to this.
Has anyone subscribed? Is it a good value for a Linux gamer? (I have no issue playing through WINE, but do prefer native)

i would say that heavily depends on if you are open to new games ^^
The Early Unlock is usually what i decide on if i pause that month or not - but sometimes i regret it as the other games have had some real gems in them, too.
Usually, the price is worth it for the early unlocks alone though, so the other games are "free extras" and if you haven't got them yet, there are some really good games in the trove, too.

So as someone else wrote: the price is a steal, you just have to have time to play them all.

Quoting: Jahimselfgog + linux, always a pleasure :)

If only they would finally build Galaxy for Linux, too :(
I honestly don't want to miss the comfort of autoupdates and cloudsaves anymore...

Lets hope they at least whitelist it for proton if they don't want to port...i am not willing to buy games that don't at least commit to keep proton working...
DL1 was a real blast, maybe i should install it again some time ^^
