Weirdly, statcounter stopped even listing Linux. Most of those stats aren't that useful.

I bought two games there recently (Infinytrap and Sky Rogue). I'll try their client for a test. Does it allow selecting where to install games, or they all go to standard locations?

And they better avoid mistakes of Obsidian like missing capes, because they used some Uninty plugins that don't work on Linux.

Quoting: AnxiousInfusionThank you for these links as I am currently in the process of graduating from Mint to pure Debian and I'm trying to figure out how to get AMDGPU instead of default RadeonSI.

You probably mean readeon kernel driver. It is indeed superseded by amdgpu. RadeonSI is FOSS OpenGL implementation for AMD (based on Gallium3D). It works in combination with amdgpu kernel driver.

Currently things seem to be messy. Either various highly manual installation, or using amdgpu-pro package from AMD, which installs amdgpu through dkms module, but also installs closed OpenGL and Vulkan implementations.

From what I understood, that dkms module requires special compatibility layer (KCL), which won't be accepted upstream. So it will remain part of that dkms package, but now it's bundled with all other stuff. They plan to make it all more modular, but it didn't happen yet.

Quoting: GuestThat’s really surprising, especially since many people who write here (both in articles and comments) say they don’t buy before the Linux version is available or that they’ve been burned by kickstarter! But it’s also pretty cool ;).

Many also write that they are backing Linux crowdfunding. So I don't get the impression that most don't. Just those who are upset complain, and you can see them, while others don't talk about it until asked.

Quoting: PublicNuisanceI am really interested in this game, waiting to hear back from the devs if there will be a DRM free option.

From the campaign FAQ:

QuoteWe plan on selling the game via online platforms such as Steam and GoG, as well as the Apple App Store for Mac. Backers of our Kickstarters may have access to direct download.

Some info about plans to open source the Vulkan driver, and amdgpu dkms module:

Oh, and they have Sky Rogue? I forgot all about it. I saw some video a while ago, and it looked really neat.

I'll probably buy Infinitrap (Ohio Jack and the Cup of Eternity) there. I was planning for a while.

The trailer alone is already funny:

Same thing. I'll back it if they'll move Linux to the base goal, or if the stretch goal will be reached. Since System Shock is a well known name, it has good prospects.
