Tyler's Tech [External Link] is also worth looking into.

Dude reviews distros on real hardware and also focuses on the gaming aspect.

Quoting: peta77So, they're still having separate releases for the new Vulkan and standard stuff? So you have to decide which fixes you want to have/are more important to you? For how long is this now? .... way too long...
Anyway, I don't care; at the moment the openSUSE repository is broken/unsafe (problems with signature/gnuPG-key), so updating whichever branch is actually not a good idea right now..

The problem with the repo seems to be fixed. Updated today without issues.

And yet there is still no regional pricing.

Ziggurat costs half on Steam at full price than 50% off on Gog for me for example.

Quoting: ShmerlWould be nice if they also focus on KDE as the primary supported DE, and will help speeding up its development.

Blue Systems is one of KDE patrons and they are employing some of KDE developers if I'm not mistaken, so KDE flavor might get some more focus. Hopefully.

Quoting: PixelDropBorderlands the pre-sequel for both.
Finished Borderlands 2 two months back figured it was time to finish the next game in the series.

Thus far it feels like a big DLC for the second game, and I'm not really enjoying it nearly as much. Overall it just feels really cheap story world wise like a mid-budget DLC rather then it's own game.

I am also playing Borderlands The Pre Sequel, but via Proton (D9VK). Performance is twice as better on my system compared to native.

Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoRight now I use D9VK pasting the d3d9.dll in the same folder of the game binary and using
WINEDLLOVERRIDES="d3d9=n" %command%
But, how to enable D9Vk as the default d3d9 layer for the entire Proton without console commands?

You can try GloriousEggroll's custom proton. It includes D9VK, protonfixes and some other stuff. Also it's based on newer Wine.

It will probably be updated with latest D9VK soon.

Epic is playing dirty right from the beginning with their store. I have avoided commenting about Epic when the news about their store appeared here because I did not want to sound like a Valve fan boy but it should be clear for anyone now that even if their store were to suppor Linux there is nothing will benefit the end user here. What they are doing (Exclusive titles and so on) is utter disgusting IMHO.

Quoting: GuestWell, VR is demanding in terms of GPU power. And GPU's prices are actually insane. So, i do not know if this is the best moment.

Valve is also working on something called [SteamVR Motion Smoothing](https://steamcommunity.com/games/250820/announcements/detail/1696061565016280495 [External Link]). It is probably a preparation for this.

Quoting: spacemonkeyIs it possible to install the Windows version of a game that has a native Linux version? Since the VR should work better I would like to try Everspace. But only the Windows version of Everspace supports VR (the Linux version does not). So, is there a way to install the Windows version and use Steam Play?

At the moment it is not possible I think, however there is a feature request for that on github, hopefully Valve will add this feature in the future.

I think I'll be mostly downloading and testing old windows only games from my library with Proton. As long as I have space to install them that is :)
