@mursexxx: Back then, they didn't have the Proton part of SteamPlay, which is for getting Windows versions of games working in Linux (so that (the majority of) games with no native Linux support would still work in Linux).

@Atzenkiller: As a Linux user, I can attest to the fact that Linux GPU drivers work out of the box, at least the open-source ones that Valve will likely use.

Edit:

I realized a flaw in my argument. Technically, they can still get non-violent games which are fun. Having said that, I can't think of a fun non-violent game. :P

This would only stop the (somewhat) poor from getting the games, and they're more likely to commit crimes in the first place (out of survival-based desperation), so if we prevent them from getting videos (which are stress-relievers), couldn't it be argued that violent crime would increase (or not change at all)?

@spider_matt1987: IF there's anything wrong with violent games for people that are "too young for a certain game", I think it'd be traumatizing them (like how a horror movie would make an elementary-school-aged kid not be able to sleep), but not making them violent.

To be honest, I didn't look into this in detail, but I suspect that this is proposed by politicians who have not looked into the research on the effects of video games and who are also not into video games themselves, so they just don't get that such games are "stress relievers" (that, if I remember what I read correctly, actually reduce violent tendencies (which makes intuitive sense to me)), rather than "violence catalysts".

(I would look into this in detail if I were the one to make an official decision.)

Well, if they release all the games on Linux, then I'd buy them (but they won't even release them for Windows 10, so I doubt that'll happen).

That sucks. :(

I love that show.

At least there'll still be Young Sheldon, but although I still like that, I prefer The Big Bang Theory.

@JIMDOG4442002: Putting aside technical merits of either brand, if you support Nvidia, you're supporting vendor lock-in, but if you support AMD, you're supporting open initiatives that better the gaming ecosystem for everyone, except Nvidia (since instead of having an unfair advantage, they'd be on equal footing).
