I'd love to see another player, but I don't think this is it.

The maintainer of the application chooses the categorie(s) but manually organizing things as an end user... is kinda dumb. Maybe I don't understand your workflow (or why the Start Menu is the way it is now with all programs barfed into one list, I figured it was for touch devices). It doesn't really matter, though, because search is used primarily now, anyways. Forgetting the name of the application is the only reason I can see digging through the Start Menu now.

Maybe I need to give Cyberpunk 2077 another shot.

I preferred their nested menus to what is there now, though I started using search as soon as it became a thing (Windows 7?). They should have really implemented categories (like in Linux) early on rather than having every suite have it's own sub-menu in the Start Menu.

Like, from just reading the headline, it doesn't seem very onion-y. It's not just perfectly believable, but I sort of assumed that that is what happened.

I'm sorry, 175 GB? WTF with these game sizes.

Before private lobbies in GTA, I remember blocking ports for GTA in my firewall except to my friends' IP addresses, which worked for a while.

GTA Online has terrible monetization and Rockstar are openly hostile towards PC as a platform, but I wouldn't call GTA mediocre at all. There's nothing quite like the attention to detail or breadth of GTA games. If you've played a few GTA clones, you'll know what the competition looks like and it's not even close.

I don't want to discount what you saw, but I don't think Linux gamers are even asking for official support. If they don't want bug reports from Linux gamers because the reports would be "tainted" by an unsupported operating system, then they could have a banner on the submission page. I would argue, however, that they would be missing out on a lot of free bug testing where all of these companies are far too cheap to pay for proper bug testing these days.

At this point, Linux gamers would just appreciate the bare minimum being put forth with developers not breaking the games for them.

That's true, but those days are long behind us. Now, games are released in an unfinished state and require, at the very least, a day-one patch for any hope of a non-buggy experience. It's sad affairs everywhere in all aspects of the industry.

Can report that ALVR with a Quest 2 works great.

Unpopular opinion, but hype for GTA 6 died to me when they showed their disdain towards Linux users. They've always been shitty towards PC, but enough is enough.
