I had a really nice #LinuxGaming moment last night

I finally formatted one of my 1 TB SSDs as EXT4 to make room for #Steam games on my #ArchLinux install.

Then, I installed Transport Fever 2 and played it through my #SteamLink

And you know what? It just worked. It was a miracle! I just happily played for an hour without even noticing I'm not running #Windows. Zero tinkering. Thanks #Valve. ☺

I had one the other day too, playing Heavenly Bodies. Ran the game on my Kubuntu laptop (Nvidia GPU) , using steam in-house game streaming to my (old underpowered) Ubuntu desktop connected to the Big screen TV, and with 2 wireless Xbox360 controllers connected to the Ubuntu desktop

It Just Worked.

Gaming on Linux has gone from being a pipedream, to a niche, to being viable, and now to even being good

@klangcola tfw your laptop is more powerful than your desktop. But I'm glad it worked out for you!
