Quoting: GuestSorry but no, you said it like a universal truth that applied to everyone and everything everywhere.

Quoting: GuestWell it’s obvious that "nothing forces to improve or innovate if theres no competition" is nonsense. I can write a tool and I will want to improve that tool to make my life better (and/or have fun in the process). There is no competition involved.

The other one "without competition there is monopoly" is maybe more debatable, but I’ll just say "without competition there is cooperation". That’s one possibility, anyway.

well we were talking about steam and the like. Not about your personal programs that you really want to improve for yourself. but if there is no similar tool around you, you might even not come up to some innovations for it.

i can put it in a different wording (sry english is not my native)

from the user standpoint competition is forcing to improve and innovate. i dont see whats wrong with that.


your tool to make your life better doesnt really apply for this kind of business

Quoting: GuestI don’t agree that competition is good or needed, but yes I do agree that monopolies are bad.

i have 224 Linux games in my library with 95% of them installed.
and i'd say 90% of them work perfectly fine - yes some unity3d games have some framerate and mouse issues but those are not so common anymore as 1-2 years ago

"PS! up to 10 fps loss when recording with SimpleScreenRecorder

to enable console to show fps:

~/.local/share/aspyr-media/borderlands 2/willowgame/config/willowinput.ini

change those lines like that:

[Engine.Console]
ConsoleKey=Tilde
TypeKey=Backslash

save the file and go in to game, press tilde and type stat fps"

Linux Gaming looks more better every day. Now we need some bigger Racing and MMORPG games to have the most of the genres on our favourite platform.

Quoting: edoThis rise is probably due to the CSGO port, many people stop using dual-boot due to that.
The next month will be interesting too

i dont think so..we will see the CSGO and BL2 effect next month.

surveys are usualy accepted in the first weeks of the month.
