Idk,

I get that they promised a native build. But, i guess you have to decide what is more important: a native build for Linux or proper support for the platform. Granted, you have to decide what “proper support” means, but at its basic is “make the game run well on Linux”.

The mere fact that they have a comparison of the proton vs Linux build indicates that they have been indeed working on it, and have decided that the best performance comes via proton. So, this does bird feel like they are abandoning Linux or lying or whatever. It looks like they are trying to make it work well.

My takeaway from this is that — once again — Epic Games is playing a role in the quality of Linux gaming.

I bought this less than a week ago, so before the actual release. It was completely unplayable. The whole screen was translucent, so that you could see whatever was behind it. I have no idea if it was a dual-monitor problem or what. I didn't bother trying to troubleshoot it. I just got a refund. Perhaps they fixed it with the update, but Idk.

My experience with Fedora is dated at this point, but I do remember it being reasonable stable and current which is of course good. I like plasma, and back then their kde spin was a bit of a joke. Three different application installers, none of which worked correctly. I remember the developers fighting with the regular developers. No idea how the spin is now -- I'm sure that was over 10 years ago at this point. But, since I see in the comments that there is an easier way to get the proprietary software installed in gnome (which is a good thing) but not kde, then it remains a distro that is probably best used with gnome as that is where their focus is. But, I am sure the kde spin will be just fine once you get the first week wiggles out.

I did not ever use arch, but I had Manjaro installed for several years, and then had a similar "I've had it" moment and switched to opensuse tumbleweed. Its been over 2 years now, and I love it. BUT: I maintain that the most important aspect of a distro is their support community. Arch's motto or whatever is literally (or at least was, again, I'm old) "RTFM", and their forums were WAY more helpful and less aggressive than that of Manjaro. This was to the point where if I ever needed something fixed, I usually found the answer in the Arch forums rather than Manjaro forums. When I switched to opensuse, I noticed that the main forum admin is the same person who was their back in 2008. He, and all others I have dealt with, have been awesome. Hopefully, Fedora is similar.

Getting pretty good reviews on steam. A lot of people mention there are multiple ways to get through quests / obstacles, so it doesn't just have to be a slugfest if you want. I never played the fallout games, of which this seems an obvious comparison. I'll probably get it. Thanks Liam.

This is catching me at the right time, too. My computer case has a bit of a tuxedo look to it, and they have a couple that look like that. I also am currently using a white corsair keyboard, so it will look better than the black viper 8k that I am using.

I waited for almost a year (patiently, I can see they do good work) for openrazer to support the 8k mouse. It came this week, and I was underwhelmed. I don't know what I was expecting. Everything works fine. But, with this thing having actual switches and no need for software, maybe I will give it a try too.

Quoting: BielFPs

An apparent planned competitor to Steam named "Vapor"

An apparent planned competitor to Steam named "Steam" lol

I'm guessing those plans went up in smoke.

I actually got 2 steam surveys yesterday, so I assume I'm the one that kicked it over 1 percent.

Seriously, though, I did wonder if they might be intentionally trying to show larger Linux numbers.

Quoting: DrMcCoyI'm still on roll20 on the third, and I really start to get annoyed by roll20 now :P. I'm so much happier with Foundry, it works really well.

I'm curious, why is the 3rd group still on roll20? Is it just the typical reluctance to change? I am on roll20 right now, and I hate it lol.

Does everyone in the party need to buy the software, or just the dm (the one hosting)?

EDIT: Nevermind, they answer this at the end of the video. Just one person in the party needs the software. Sounds like I should get this....
