Very, very interesting concept unlike the ordinary war games.

Quoting: EKRboiI honestly have not figure out what is eating my "extra" ram, there seems to be about 300mb I can't exactly account for. I don't use a display manager so when I boot it, it goes right to tty1 and it's usually sitting at right around 300mb used. I have 8gb (bios report 8192mb) but linux shows only 7901mb so maybe that is what makes up the difference since that's 289mb differenc.

But if Linux doesn't count it at all, how can the apps use it?

My hardware must be reserving it for something. I know my motherboard has a hardware iommu and I'm pretty sure it reserves 64mb, but not sure what might be reserving the rest. Onboard sound possibly?

Integrated vga maybe?

X is the next largest ram user at 63mb and openbox is using 42mb. Plus the terminal I'm running HTOP in is eating 50mb. the rest is normal low ram system processes.

This is because in Arch the binaries are compiled with a lot of dependencies. In my Gentoo, where I strip the majority of them because I don't need them, X, openbox and lxterminal run with 20 MB each one. What terminal do you use?

spiffy simple OB session you have there :)

Openbox is wonderful but unfortunately I'm going to ditch it for Enlightenment's favour (which is more than cool as well) because I want to move my laptop to Wayland and I very much doubt that Openbox is going ever to be ported because of its hard xorg-x11 dependencies. I will miss my pipe-menus :(

Quoting: sharkwouterI kinda wonder what other means in the distro part, I can only come up with Gentoo, PCLinuxOS and Mageia.

I use Gentoo on my laptop and Chakra on my Desktop.

Quoting: sevAlso not clear on why people object to Steam. These are non-open source games, so who cares if I buy them on Steam or directly from the dev site?

I'm not going to buy a single game even from a dev's site if this game has any morph of DRM. Never!
It has nothing to do with the profits Steam gets. Simply Steam promotes the use of DRM and as that, even if it is responsible for the improvement of Linux as gaming platform, I will avoid it. That's why I support Humble Bundle and GOG. The day they add DRM as well, will be the day I will stop to buy from them.

Quoting: EKRboiOn my system with just openbox running, the whole system is using about 380mb.

WOW! You bloated it, mate. I'm at 140MB with conkies, pnmixer, networkmanager, xxkb, tilda and tint2.

Plz add "what is your favourite genre of games" option.

That's actually a very good idea for a "unique question" I could do one month - makes more sense to do it as a one-off since I doubt tastes really change that much over time.

Tastes do not change but the guys that take the survey change.
Also, give two votes because most people do not play just one genre.
The options could be:

Action
Adventure
Arcade
MMORG
RPG
Simulation
Strategy
Racing
Platformers
Puzzles
Shootemup
etc...

I still have dual boot as well but it's a just in case thing, though my windows partitions must be packed with virtual dust :S

Delete it and free your hard disk and yourself. I had it as well just in case until 2001 when I found that I can be without it. And for the last 13 years I'm a happy single booter :)
Actually, windows are not fun at all, so if you don't need them they are pretty useless.

Gorgeous graphics, nice music, interesting concept! I wonder why I had missed it in kickstarter... Instant buy from me when a no DRM version hits its page!
