Epic's Tim Sweeney thinks Wine "is the one hope for breaking the cycle", Easy Anti-Cheat continuing Linux support

I wish nothing but all the best to Epic Games for their future and what they're believe for.
Sadly, would not joining them indefinitely. This tux user are going on his way, which he believe is the best.

Valve looking to drop support for Ubuntu 19.10 and up due to Canonical's 32bit decision (updated)

Soo.. for "average" user like me, how? Another painful migration to another distors? Move to BSD?
Hell no! I never ever will back to run Windows for my own PC.

IMO, yes we certainly needs to move on to 64 bit architecture. But not by removing 32 bit support altogether! Especially on FOSS world which known for giving user freedom.

Also, it may tainting the whole Linux reputation on giving to all anything computer devices a rejuvinate 'second' live beyond it's EOL usage. No thanks to Canonical being Canonical, again.

I hate Linux/FOSS world 'soap opera' gets another 'reboot', again. But I agree Canonical should stop being Apple of Linux world.

p/s: Oh BTW, where's my Linux phones Canonical?!

The E3 2019 Linux gaming round-up
13 Jun 2019 at 5:09 am UTC Likes: 1

Note: Ranting and some explict wording.

My round-up on E3 2019
1. If you are game developers who successfully crowdfunded your games then going bait and switch and broke your promises to backers: FUCK YOU!! Hope your next project will make you bankrupted and gone.

2. I'm not surprise if piracy are gone rampage again like 'the old times' :wink: , but Linux gaming won't be never infected. You know, because game devs/publs ignore us!

3. I'm setting "ignore this publisher" on many developers/publishers on my Steam account. Can't stand to all hypocrites.

4. For now on, when I want to buy games; I will making full background research on those games. Everthing from developers, publishers, game engines, track record on employee, opinion on Linux and etc. etc.. I do not want fund shit people and I do not want to paying someone to want to destroying Linux gaming.

5. And lastly, thank you Liam. Why need to watch this stupid expo when GamingonLinux more than enough to me for all latest, accurate and balance/fair/impartial news on Linux gaming.

Info on Google Stadia from today’s Stadia Connect, Baldur’s Gate III announced too

I taking 'wait and see' approach. For me, anything streaming (heck even Spotify) needs constant and reliable network, which is impossible to get either one (and sometimes even both), anywhere in or near my area.

If Google have solution for both issue, probably I tempted to try it. If not, I'm stick with Steam and itch (or go on "sailing" if I'm totally desperate).

Steam Play Proton 4.2-6 is out, DXVK rebuilt for increased performance
7 Jun 2019 at 1:42 pm UTC

Hope Proton will be ready for Destiny 2 and/or Destiny 2 will ready for Proton.

Yup, Kinda pumped/hyped with 'all-new reborn' Bungie. Probably I have to break my 'no tux no bux' policy..

Outer Wilds becomes another Epic Store exclusive for a limited time
14 May 2019 at 1:12 pm UTC

Simple solution. See Annapurna (not mountain) as games' Publisher? Blacklisted them, etc.

I really wish employees/devs be more brave and announced their resignation openly because EGS. Taking high moral ground.

OT p/s: BTW, water distruption sucks! Especially on flat house.

Easy Anti-Cheat are apparently "pausing" their Linux support, which could be a big problem (updated)

**Wear tinfoil hat**
Well, let's say something....
...something about AR. >> Why Epic Games called an open platform truce with Microsoft (Venture Beat) [External Link]
**Take off tinfoil hat**

Honestly, I'm not affected at all, (apologies to GoL users who online gamers).
But I hope this shitty moves will make more developers to build more LAN and split-screen option games for PC in general and especially for Linux gamers.

I'm glad that "Uncle Timmy's gorceries shop" overlooked this "hentai, erotic & totally crappy indie" game. Soo hardcore for his shop...
