You own't wrong well-nigh the Linux customs, they are generally helpful and usually pretty knowledgable but in that location'south also perchance a degree of snobbery in at that place too... like using the terminal is some kinda proof of credibility or some shit. That said I'thousand comfortable enough with it after that many years it own't a biggie.

WRT to Linux games on Steam they actaully ain't badly supported, most of the CRPGs and Tactics games which I waste most of my time on have Linux poirts on steam if you just change your search parameters to Linux and Steam/Os (or if y'all log on from Linux) you get a pretty adept choice, in fact I got a couple of older favourites on my Ubuntu drive anyhow for chilling in between jobs so I don't accept re-kick into Windows.. XCOM, Atom RPG, Borderlands II. WINE is ane solution merely it can be a bit fiddly at times and results ain't always bang-up - unless they streamlined information technology a piffling since I final played with it.

Mainly it was the newer titles and AAAs I ended putting Windows dorsum on for a few years back but the last coupla years my creaking onetime 2500K can't actually go along upward anyway even overclocked and with a ****ton of retentivity and an OKish graphics menu, so information technology'due south become a bit redundant. Obviously the ideal would be a single Bone although to be honest I've found the do good repeatedly over the years in the back-up of having 2 OSs on unlike SSDs in example 1 of em fucks up critically. Means I can always go dorsum onto doing what I gotta practise with minimal downtime, so I'm likely to do that with my adjacent organisation though whether I use two different OSs I'm undecided.. Kinda like being able to chop and alter

I can not say I am not a correspondent myself, it's a when in rome kinda situation. My ass does not make tools on linux either.

That's really interesting. I don't think I've even tried not-native games or even programs since about 2010. I'chiliad sure it has come a long way, I'll probably check it out merely for the involvement of it.

I can't say I have a skillful reason for checking out OSes, they're just so far beyond my capabilities and understanding it became sort of a hobby to check them out. Linux, BSD, android, hacked windows, the only thing I really don't **** with is mac is any form or TempleOS though I do plan to one day. If yous don't know Temple, information technology's its own Os, build in C I think..past a crazy person. Information technology'due south both tragic and beautiful. Dude is insane, but, clearly brilliant.

Linux has always been specially interesting considering it dose avowal that sugariness spot betwixt capable and control. Windows is a flake of a whore, especially to limit down. Slimming down Linux is pretty easy and a lot of that can be done on the user cease. Linux doesn't have the top line newest hottest games simply it has had the ability to run impressive games for a while now it'due south just hardly anyone actually makes games with a linux sdk or fifty-fifty gives a **** well-nigh linux users. So in that location is room for creative and capable people to do stuff no i else has done however and even though information technology'south not the hottest AAA information technology's still a very solid game. Mainly, my interest is producing a panel actually. It's like a grass is greener type bargain. Everything I am practiced at in life is a tangible matter. Building in a digital space does my head in but thinking out a physical procedure is easier for me. On a existent basic level rotations are easier to picture than directory branches once something is circuitous. Information technology's hard for me to grow what I've natural talent for, I'k old at present, I've fostered that already. I'grand far hungrier to grow talents I struggle with these days. I'll probably never actually limit down linux into a very fast booting organisation that can simply launch into my games engine, but I am getting closer every twelvemonth and that is my ultimate goal in playing with linux. Being every bit I'g more often than not in my shop, even when I talk to y'all information technology's commonly from in my shop actually while **** dries....currently the case, I don't really accept time to get into like I'd like so what would take me just a week ends up taking months to figure out.

In the finish, all I need is an Bone that direct boots into an engine. I've not fifty-fifty adamant the engine nevertheless, I've go adept in 3 and are just kinda waiting on me to effigy out which would work with a boot sequence best. Once I am there, I've got all that physical already sorted. I'm talking factor form, cartridge, controller, this will exist my panel. It'll operate similar the golden era of 2nd but isn't limited to 2d, though, I am as a dev. What i mean is if yous turn it on without a cart it'll just look at y'all. Just similar a SNES used to. I may throw in a splash screen simply basically the same. Pop in a cart, information technology goes straight into the game. There is no emulator, there is no compatibility layer, it is a very elementary machine that can only exercise i thing, access cart and play.

Non for coin, but I volition sell it, I just don't expect to do well. It's for fun. And since it is for fun I'll be going right afterward Nintendo. I'm talking straight rip-spoof games. Their Mario will be my Giuseppe. He'll be blueish with blonde hair and his G volition look exactly like the gamecube Thousand (because I know the maker of mario hates GC and hates Mario's M looking like whatsoever other M) and at the terminate of his level he'll exercise two peace signs in the air like nixon (because mario creator hates the peace sign Marion does) and I'll throw in some lite racism too with a bit of the appreciate, and all four finger connecting to the thumbs while motioning up to downwards, perhaps the under the chin finger flick. maybe not I dunno yet, but, point is I'll dig into them every single mode I tin can. Only considering it sounds fun to me.

So yeah, I tin't hardly say I'd ever be a single OS guy myself.
