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

I 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.

I don't like the behaviour of Linuxers complainig about a dev that wants to support Steamplay rather than native.

I always think: "Why don't you just shut up?!"

We are a minority, It does not make sense for a dev to put lots of time in a Linux build, lets thank them, if they support Linux.
And yes, officialy supporting Proton is Linuxsupport because I can than play the game on my Linux rig and can be sure that updates do not kill it on Linux.

Bu if we want us to be seen as a nerving, demanding minority go on with that :><:

Seems to me, that they need lots of positive reviews. I doubt, that they can sell their game, with this bad reviews.

I am personally not sure, if I will buy it (soon).

Quoting: liamdaweI just installed KDE onto Ubuntu when I had lots of issues with GNOME. Haven't had a problem. The issue of the KDE panel freezing when doing full-screen games with NVIDIA was solved some time ago and honestly, I've been really enjoying KDE.

Did you do this just with:

sudo apt-get install plasma-desktop

? Or are there some tricks to know?

Pretty sure I did the full "kubuntu-desktop".

So, I did that too and everything feels more smooth. Scrolling in Browser, moving Windows - all feels more smooth and is more easily configurable to my needs.

So I hope when I have time to test gaming experience, that this performs well too.

KDE is really great. Now that I have it again, I can't understand, why I could use gnome this long :-)

Quoting: einherjardo you use Kubuntu 19.04?
If yes, does everything related to Steam and Gaming run as good as on Ubuntu? Including thins like using graphics driver ppa?

I am considering switching back to KDE. Therefore I ask.

I'm using Debian with KDE, and gaming on Steam works really well. So Kubuntu should be all fine. You shouldn't need to install Kubuntu, to use KDE, BTW. Installing KDE and choosing it on login should he sufficient.

Better not. I often read, that installing KDE on Ubuntu leads to non specific problems. So my plan is to try it out an a virtual machine. But Gaming is the thing I can not try out in a VM.

Great performance, great job Feral!!!!!!!!

TBH, that does not sound that performant. Les than 60 fps with GTX 1080, or do you have a weak CPU?

I really don't know, why a Linuxgamer should buy games on GOG.

I really like CDPR for their great Witcher Games (no Microtransactions and no other shit).
On the other hand, they manage to disappoint me so much, that they will not see a single € out of my wallet.

I'm also pretty sure, they will make a Linux Release for Cyberpunk for Stadia - but it will not be seen for any Linuxgamer to buy it. Hopefully I am wrong, but I don't think so.

I am sure, we can be lucky, if we get Cyberpunk via Proton (Streaming is not that interesting for me). But it may also only be sold on EGS, GOG, Stadia.

Over the time I suspect, that these "we are DRM free", "we value customers", "we like freedom for gamers" and other blahblah is not honest. They just know, that it's the only niche, that gives them marketshare.

Hi Liam,

could you reach out for the devs to ask them these two questions:

* Could they consider officially supporting SteamPlay/Proton?
As it is in Early Access and gets lots of updates, the risk to break it on Steamplay is not that low...

* How much Linux sales do they have?
As much as you advertise this game, it would be very interesting ;-)

thanks and best regards

PS: I like it, that you make articles like this :-)
