Quoting: einherjarI my point of view GOG messes things like this up.
If you can have a Linuxversion on Steam but not on GOG It does not seem to be the gamedevs fault.

Just my 2 Cents.

That's up to VP really. GOG said that much explicitly.

Quoting: 14Hmm, I thought GOG was simply a product, not a whole company.

It's a separate company, but obviously they are related.

Quoting: KlaasThat's the trouble with third party porting companies that act as a publisher at the same time. And than there's always the danger that the ports are abandoned when the porting house folds (remember Loki).

That's the issue with Feral indeed, who can't stomach DRM-free stores, which they admitted themselves. But I'm not sure what the issue with VP is. They released The Witcher 2 on GOG in the past. May be they are also DRM obsessed, and TW2 was a special case since GOG is a sister company to CD Projekt Red?

Oh, Bioshock Infinite came out on GOG?? I totally missed that. And no Linux version :( Virtual Programming messed it up again.

Quoting: RTherenWhere is the 16-core AMD CPU? The supposed 3850X?

They didn't announce it yet. And if 12 core one is hitting 105W TDP, 16 core one will for sure be higher. I'll go for 12 cores probably, since I don't feel like increasing the TDP of my current build.

Would be also interesting to see, how TDP of Navi cards compare to Vega.

Quoting: finaldestam also waiting to see if X570 has any benefits over X370.

I'm in same situation here, and it looks like one of the possible benefits is support for PCIe 4. Since Navi will use it, it's likely we'll need new motherboards to run it a full performance.

That Ryzen 9 with 12 cores is a beast - it has the same TDP as Ryzen 7 2700X. And I'm looking forward to getting a Navi card to use with 2.5K Freesync monitor. Hopefully they won't be plagued by sketchy availability and crazy prices like Vega cards were.

Interesting, I've never heard about this engine before.

Quoting: PangaeaHow representative are these numbers compared with the wider Linux community?

The reason I ask is that I'm surprised Linux Mint sits at below 10%. It has been my impression that this is one of the main distros, maybe the most popular by now, due to how easy it is to get into for beginners (like myself). Here, however, Arch has a big following. Maybe because the site is occupied by fairly advanced Linux users?

I think gamers tend to more often use rolling distros, since they provide more recent drivers and kernel out of the box, which is a common need for best performance. And Arch is one of the most popular rolling distros. Though in practice it's not one of the easiest rolling distros to use.
