There's a LInux version of Postal 2, what else do you need?

Beside Postal 2 i guess goal is to have Half Life 3, Uncharted 4, Halo 5, Super Mario 3D World... on one GNU box and of course drivers without frimwares

Immediately when I saw the title, I went to the comments and scrolled down to see whether there was a comment by johnc saying something pessimistic and/or stupid about Steam machines. I wasn't disappointed.

Actually there is a trollbar under each user, actually it's a post bar, but if somebody makes a trolling comment, and the bar is big, I've noticed that the bar is big only due to trolling. You can usually call it a trollbar, because it generally is true. There are only a *few* exceptions to this. There are actually people with a full trollbar, that actually post noteworthy comments instead of trolling.

Too bad almost none of them are AAA class games

Actually I only miss one AAA class game, the remainder usually is a B class, promoted to AAA by marketing.
I miss GTA. The only game (GTA-SA) that kept me seriously biking for 2 weeks without doing *any* of the "quests". Technically speaking GTA-SA runs on linux but within an android shell ;-). And the pc-masterrace version is so much better (using wine). But I still have some troubles mapping the steam controller with steam big picture, starting PlayOnLinux steam starting GTA-SA. Problem is within wine though, the axis mapping is off. Triggers get treated like the camera paddle in -1.0 position.

And Total War: Attila should finally be available this week. It is one of the rare few I have to reboot to Windows to play. Steam machines also look very tempting if a bit pricey to my taste. I sure hope they will sell well enough so Valve keeps investing into Linux.

Valve made the DirextX/OpenGL wrapper/translator for devs to use, if they wanted a cheap and somewhat efficient port.
I'd love to see that DirectX wrapper/translator target Vulkan instead of OpenGL.
I also think that Wine could reach even better performance if it too targeted Vulkan.

I suppose it'd be possible to recreate the Direct3D API on top of Vulkan, making it quite alot easier to support Linux, with better porformance, compared to existing options.

Lately i don't have much time (if at all) to play games, but when I have - I usually go TF2 (linux) or BF4 (win)... So...
The day (any) battlefield (preferably 4) goes Linux, I'm formatting my windows disk...
