So, here's an interesting note: Blocking an obnoxious troll doesn't block quoted replies of theirs from showing up in the feed. Respects Vortex, It's nice to have a civil discussion for a change. The days of crusading every Dev to release native ports is an obsolete concept. My opposing viewpoint was never against Linux, it has always been about spamming the forums for a native port by a fanatical few bent on an unrealistic crusade. Then I am all for making every single Steam game playable via Proton. However this does not promote or encourage a "Metro Exodus" native port.īut if the goal "Valve" is to enable linux gamers with more gaming options. Sure my phone is a droid, and I myself use linux. This is why every single Developer on steam release their game on windows. ![]() Less than 1% use linux on steam for PC gaming. Yes I meant obscure in the arena of PC and PC gaming. Judging by the “raw market share” Windows is obviously the obscure thing here if we define obscure by the number of installations and what is commonly used. Whether it is MacOS, iOS, Android, any Linux distribution, FreeBSD, BSD eg. Also counting all devices together (I know an IoT device or server will not be used for gaming and this is Steam) 90+% of all devices run some derivate of Unix. Since Distros are build out of the same sources and do only ship with a different default configuration and desktop environment and some with latest libraries while others don't that's why the LTS or Leap release is important.Īnd I must say, as long as I can play a game via Wine or Proton I do not even care if the game has a Linux port in the first place the important thing is if the game is fun, performs well and has a okaish gameplay.ĭiposting pertama kali oleh Vortex Acherontic:From the technical point of view Windows is the only obscure OS since it is the only OS which dose not implements standardized APIs in the most parts.Īll common OSes are based on Unix and the POSIX standard while Windows don't. So probably some Ubuntu LTS or openSUSE Leap release (I do prefer the last one). A developer should just draw a line at which libraries are necessary in a certain version and newer for their game. I agree except for the distro part since imo a distro dose not matter very much. o.o Even if I am still confused why you still take the time to crawl Linux related post on Steam. I must say as a full time GNU/Linux user and gamer I agree with meraco on that part. *This post was relevant to the topic, constructive and polite.ĭiposting pertama kali oleh meraco:To the Developer: ![]() Linux users can now play the game which means additional sales. They don't have to oversee support for multiple distros. This way they don't have to consume resources for a native port. The best way to provide Linux users the chance to play, is to ensure that it can work with Proton. When providing feedback, posting information, or discussing a product in Steam, whether it’s negative or positive, please make sure you are being relevant, constructive and polite.ĭevelopers take feedback from all kinds of sources into account, even though they may not have the time to respond to every post or question.Īs mentioned before. Discussions like these do not make native ports for obscure OS's whatsoever.
