    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?

          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.

                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?
