Not really true. You don’t necessarily need open source drivers for Linux to play well. There was actually a period where NVidia was the better option on Linux because their proprietary drivers were better than the alternatives. If the company cares to manage those drivers they will work well. That said, it looks like AMD has embraced FOSS and NVidia finally opened their other drivers, so things are looking up at least. Having binary blobs for certain shit is not ideal either, but I’ll take it if it means more people will move to Linux and everything else will still be open.

Shitty, but it’s not like NVidia didn’t do more and worse.

I’d prefer it if AMD wasn’t doing this shit, but I’ll probably be sticking with them as long as their providing a quality Linux experience.

In a lot of ways it’s more similar to Squad, to be honest.

Played through most of the System Shock remake, currently playing through Deus Ex (the original).

Pretty much this. Got one for my girlfriend, and I’ve ended up playing games a lot on the couch next to her instead.

Also, strangely I’ve found it easier to play certain games this way - it feels like less of a commitment when you just power on the deck with the TV on in the background. As opposed to like, sitting down and being like ‘I’m going to play this game.’
