Some thoughts on Linux gaming in 2019, an end of year review

Quoting: bradgyWhat, if anything, do you think will move the needle in this regard?

There is only one thing that would matter, and it's the same now as it was 10 years ago.

End Microsoft Windows dominance as the default operating system for new computers.

This would probably require legislation. Microsoft will never give up their stranglehold on the market. NEVER.
Maybe also prohibit companies from subsidizing their own OS so Microsoft couldn't give the big OEM computer manufacturers 'free Windows copies', so to speak.

If retailers were mandated by law to give consumers a choice of pre-installed OS, with costs clearly defined and choosing Windows would mean choosing to pay market price for it... I speculate that a good number of people would save that 100€ or whatever a reasonable market price would be for the current Windows version.

Sadly the Linux distro aspect in this scenario isn't even relevant right now since it's pretty much a pipe dream.

AMD have today released the Radeon RX 5500 XT

Igor's Lab managed an overclock of ~2.1 GHz on air with the MorePowerTool application which manipulates SoftPowerPlayTables. They theorized that most cards should handle 2+ GHz on air as the 7nm process has matured nicely. No performance numbers yet but keep your eyes peeled if you're looking to get a 5500XT.

8GB is a very questionable choice for this low resolution gaming card.

A round-up of some good sales going on Linux games for you this weekend

A couple of nice titles going for dirt cheap over at Fanatical.

I can recommend Slain: Back From Hell if you're into gory platformers with heavy metal soundtrack. \m/
Also Reus is a native game despite what Fanatical says.

Dying Light is doing a Chivalry crossover event with new weapons and an outfit

Techland really spoiling us with events lately, at least two per month in Q4. They also fixed bugs in the Linux version... unexpected and very appreciated!
Well worth it to participate in the events, the previous Hyper Weapons event gave a permanent Hyper Mode bat as community reward. :D
