Quoting: slaapliedjeNot sure why they wouldn't just throw SteamOS on it. If I recall the earlier articles said that would be the case (at least if you chose the Linux option).

That wouldn't be the best option, since UI is not FOSS. The system itself can be open.

Quoting: IperpidoOf course it will be unplayable. It can barely run it on windows, and TW3 on Linux still has lot of problems even on high end PCs.

Then I'm not sure why it was brought up.

Quoting: Doc AngeloThe Witcher 3 ... on a handheld for 900 bucks.

Do you think Wine will have decent performance there?

Take a look at the resource files. Unity version is usually found there in the header.

Quoting: KeyrockI wish them luck, but I think the SMACH Z is going to be dead on arrival. The price is just WAY too high for a handheld.

Why should the form factor make it cheap? For Ryzen + Vega it's expected to be expensive.

No pre-orders, but I'd be interested in buying one when it will come out.

Except you need to set needed wine and wineprefix variables properly first. Example:
export wine_bin='wine' # in case of 32-bit
export wine_bin='wine64' # in case of 64-bit

# needed for wine
export WINEPREFIX=... # path to your Wine prefix
export WINEVERPATH=... # path to your Wine directory
export WINESERVER=${WINEVERPATH}/bin/wineserver
export WINELOADER=${WINEVERPATH}/bin/${wine_bin}
export WINEDLLPATH=${WINEVERPATH}/lib/wine/fakedlls
export PATH=${WINEVERPATH}/bin:$PATH 
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="${WINEVERPATH}/lib:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}"

# needed for winetricks
export WINE=${WINEVERPATH}/bin/${wine_bin}

Same parent company, different people run them.

Quoting: GuestThis indeed is a point that alienates me. How do they handle games like this one, or Vikings? Can you really run them without Galaxy? It's not listed as a requirement either....

The issue is relatively simple to solve technically. They can conditionally compile source with Galaxy calls, or they could make a dummy stub, if they worry about messing up the code with conditional compilation entries.

Interestingly, Kalypso released a few games without Galaxy for Linux on GOG just fine, but not Vikings. It's all quite illogical.

See: http://forum.kalypsomedia.com/showthread.php?tid=29787&pid=215977#pid215977 [External Link]

They said:

unfortunately Galaxy does not support Linux, and therefore games like Sudden Strike 4 and Vikings - Wolves of Midgard have not been released on GoG so far.

And strangely, they released Sudden Strike 4 [External Link] for Linux on GOG after that without Galaxy, though not Vikings still.

Quoting: PatolaHow does the witcher 3 run in regular wine nowadays? Does it run faster or show less graphical artifacts than wine-staging?

Performance is bad now. Also, the bug with invisible monsters has a fix in Wine source, but it's still causing freezes with AMD / Mesa, at least for some people. Strangely, some don't get these freezes.
