Linux as a game platform

Hello! For a long time, everyone has long known that Valve began to promote Linux to the masses, by porting Steam and, of course, games. From the moment Valve ported Steam, their games and other developers began to port on it.

So, users of Stopheim, what you think about it and whether you decide to put Linux, and if you are already using, then what distribution you use? So I, for example, after I found out that Steam would go out under Linux, with a long pondering I decided to install it, and contrary to all my doubts, I liked it. I was immediately surprised by the number of distributions, but it turned out that Steam only works on Ubuntu. Before installing, I was most afraid of the driver, because I had a laptop and I needed a bunch of drivers and that surprisingly, I did not have to put any drivers at all, was called “out of the box”, except for the video card. Everything works quickly and even on my relatively old computer. But only one thing embarrassed me – the lack of a video editing program for me, but this is not so important.

What do you think is Linux as a game platform? What restrains you from the transition to Linux and whether Valve will be justified?

The best comments

I believe that it is too early to switch to Linux, because from normal games for him in Steam there is only TF2 and L4D2, everything else is indie (well, here is not rushing me from indie). That’s when the games will be released on Linux, at least, almost simultaneously with other platforms, then you can already think about it.

And Windows windy, stubborn beauty for entertainment, which is not a pity to get rid of when the hair falls out or the nail breaks.

Linux – a working platform. And at home I https://nonukcasinosites.co.uk/ecopayz/ need a machine where I can relax with pleasure.

Question – if Vindovs version of the game is bought in Steam, putting Linukh I will have to buy the same game, only under Linuh or not?

No, I also work for exactly an hour, although I did not use any technologies and it costs just a “radiator”

Yes, in now, Steam and the latter work perfectly well, and there are problems with the drivers for a species of a species of virtue, which is strange, t.To. with the “Radonov” to look for drivers for ubuntu – just unreal. But with this assembly everything was fine, Mint 14, if that.

Also, I do not think that Ubunta and her similar systems have a future in games, it so happened. Although the games on Surs were faster than me on maximum shoes, but I do not see the future video game. And I really like the axis itself, if there was still FS and a program for striming everything, like OBS or Ixsslit, it would be completely moved. This is just restraining, but this is another story.

Linux is still a more flexible tool. Such things as Ubuntu were nevertheless created specifically for home use, in t.h. And as a center of entertainment. But others are unique, there, yes, (well, except except for poppies) it doesn’t even smell like that.

VOOT. Flexibility. Cornerstone *nix systems. Hundreds of releases and audits of patches, softe and firewood sets, custom nuclei … Let’s imagine the reference red -eyed in a vacuum (gentuster or a Slakar), which he suddenly wanted to chop into a bio -chief or hut. How much time does he need to compose a game under a jury machine? 2-3 days? This is taking into account the docks and advisers. And if suddenly the docks of Nicert does not go out and fall into the source and rule under himself? Yes, nafig, he does not need such a bio -shit. He will pass the compilery quest and he will quit this business. : 3

PS. I’m not saying that the games on the nixes are bad, I say that it is difficult (for now) primarily for the game developers themselves.

duck I still did not understand whether or not? = D

Well, I don’t know about the second, but there is definitely a photozhop there (if you buy;)). And if you do not buy, Duck and GIMPs seem to be not much worse ..

The example is not entirely correct, because here we must try to start what is not intended for this. It is equivalent to fuck under the windows, emulating other platforms there. Games with official support of Linux should not require such body movements. Yes, Linux toys are less than under Win, but they are and their list is constantly updated.
