The article has no information past what's presented by the title, btw.
Gaming On Linux is terrible. They have an article on their front page right now about a game called Fractured Alliance... which doesn't have a Linux version.
Disagree. I've found most of their content to be great. Its relevant, interesting, and concise.
What would you suggest as a better source for Linux gaming news?
I would assume it works under proton then.
The new Zelda works on Ryujinx, where is the GamingOnLinux article about it?
I'm pretty sure it's "GamingOnLinix" and not "GamingOnNativeLinux"
Then what's the point? They could do an article about every Switch release, since they are technically playable on Linux with emulation. Or about Xbox Cloud Gaming using a browser.
This is general PC gaming news, not gaming on Linux.
That's pretty silly. In your world a website cannot cover things that aren't specifically defined within its name.
Despite the fact that in this case, most games that people play on Linux actually are running within a compatibility layer. Somehow that should disqualify them all from getting covered on that site.
It'd be easier for you to just say you hate Linux and don't want to read about it.
I want to read about it, hence why I don't read GoL: because most of their articles are irrelevant. I don't care about a random indie game running on Linux; this isn't news.
They are actually one of my go to sites for getting info on new and exciting indie games. I know the articles are not as good or long as other publications but it does what it says. If you do have better alternatives that cover indie games and linux gaming, pls do share.
Games running on Linux don't count if compatibility layers are used. Weird opinion. Expect pushback.
Most games run on Linux if we take compatibility layers into account. What's the difference with IGN if they talk about all games that run on Linux?
... so, you think all media sources need to serve fully unique articles? Again, weird.
It's called Gaming on Linux. Not Gaming in General. However, they are not a Linux gaming publication, as they mostly talk about Windows games whose Linux compatibility is irrelevant; that stopped being news since 99.9% of Windows games work without issues.
It would be like Windows Central making an article about every Switch release that works on emulators. Sure, they are allowed to, but it's not what their publication is about.
No, it's not like that. You keep saying the same thing, and I don't agree.
Just block him lol
How entirely unsurprising
