Gaming on Linux

Yes, yes, next year will be the year of Linux desktop, or Linux Gaming, and Han shot first. Whatever.

Point is, “2015 Was A Stellar Year For Linux Gaming”:

this past March that there were 1,000 Steam Linux games while as of writing this article today there are more than 1,750 titles.

Out of more than 6000 games on Steam as per September 2015.

What about the quality? I know for sure that some are ok, some are not. The first issue is the incomplete support for latest OpenGL versions. But we’re getting closer.

[udpate] Check out Mesa Matrix, up-to-date with OpenGL specs coverage for MESA driver.

What is sure is that 2 years ago there was almost no choice. In summer 2014 I decided to re-build my Windows desktop to play games. Today I could play on Linux almost half the games I bought and that number is going to grow.

That is good news :)
