      Seriously, does that even matter?
      It does metter and it is good to say that, thus avoiding linux distributions fragmentation issue... better way to say "your Linux from Scratch instalation is basically not supported! It might work, but you should know your thing, not us"

          It is not a question what those *are*, but what is (best) supported

          SteamOS.

            A single little Tux icon beside the Steam Os one would be welcomed.
            (If I remember well it was...)

              And one gnu icon besides tux icon, that should be more proper While, Android should have tux only icon

              Does Playstation have Daemon icon?

                Does the ICON really matter? For me only the quality of the ports does. And many could be done better.

                Witcher 2 is a 32 bit app via a wrapper, can use at max 4 gb ram, crashed very often if you have got 100+ savegames. I really liked that game and it ran with simple settings fast enough with my 650 Ti, but i can not rate it flawlessly at all. It has lots of potential to improve.

                  Those 32bit binaries only, are laughable at this age really .

                  About DX>OGL ports... those most of the time run like shit, it is same situation with ports for Mac . It seems likely that most of the time it is next to *impossibile* for many porters to achieve similar performance out of graphically demanding DX only game .

                    The "too many savegames" issue is a CDProjekt issue since on launch, not eON's fault, they can't fix it and the wanted too even.

                      The icon gives the signal "this game is available on Linux"
