OP can't post edition.

All GNU/Linux gaming discussion and open source games.

Pros:
On Linux you'll get better performances than Windows once devs port the games.
Your system is malware free.
Your system won't crash as much as Windows do.
By not buying Windows you can use the money to buy games instead.

Remember, no tux, no bux:
1. Don't trust a company when they promise a linux release, wait until the official release.
2. Don't be ashamed to post on the game forum or steam discussions for telling developers to port a game you wanna play on linux.
3. Wine is great when you want old tittles or that aren't high on resources, but is not the final solution. You're not sure if the game will run properly.
4. The unique solution to gaming on linux is to force developers using openGL / vulkan / game engines permitting a cross platform software.
5. When you see a developer supporting Linux promote him as much as you can on forums, write about him on your blog and tell your friends how much you appreciate his effort. Remember, Gabe Newell believes in you.

My steam library is already a 4th of what it used to be on Windows: 13 games. Gog only has three out of those 13. I love what gog is doing, but it's not there yet.

I think he had to provide DRM for some companies to publish on Steam, correct me if I'm wrong.

I think that's the case.

On another note, the steam machine is a huge pile of shit, but I'm glad it brought a few games to ganoo slash leenoox.

Anon, this is great and all, but Linux is a big minority and of that minority, a few of them actually play videogames. I'm all for the thread, but it's pretty dead.

People buy games for Linux and want more, but developers don't provide. Also many gamers are dual booting, they might as well get their games for Linux instead.

Quite a "minority" we are.

Those weren't real steam machines. It was an attempt from some manufacturers to sell machines with steam OS beta pre built.
Real steam machines have to be made by valve when steam OS won't be in beta anymore
