PookaMustard: So, what's a good Linux distro? No, not Ubuntu please. Name the best Linux distro that is available. I only ask because people here just mention "Linux". Sure, you recommend me to eat fruits, but do you eat apples? Oranges? Mangoes? Same here. Is it Linux Mint? Perseus?

Thanks in advance.
SolydKX is.

Debian Stable base. Does not roll constantly, but once its stabilizes it rolls into new version and freezes again. Means, its very stable, no package breakages, fully translated. You can install about any newest package from backports if you want so. This includes newest kernel if you want so.
It has graphical installer and GUI tools. The whole Solyd-related stuff is in own repository.

I'm also a recent convert (~a month ago), running Arch with KDE on top, and I gotta say, I'm definitely enjoying it a lot more than windows. So yeah, GOG, give us more Linux. Oh, and also a thread where we can see a list of linux additions - gathering this info from the update thread is not too easy.

I've been running Linux Mint full time for over a year now, it's a very good distro for newcomers and (to me at least) it gave me an easy learning curve into the world of Linux.

Some people may still be under the influence of the old Linux ways which included heavy use of the terminal where doing things required you to be a guru, That's no longer the case though as it has matured a lot since then. Nowadays you can find many GUI programs that replace terminal commands.

GOG has made great progress on Linux in this year too, I hope they will someday provide the missing versions for some games. Otherwise I can only say, superb job :-)

vanchann: Talking about GOG and Linux, I just reinstalled Hammerwatch and it's still the old version, without the desert campaign.

Is there any chance that GOG will get the latest Linux build?
I was always under the impression it was v1.31 but I went just extracted the game to check and it's still v1.23. In any case I sent an email to the dev, hopefully they won't take too long to send an updated build.

JudasIscariot: Heck, even the Windows key opens up the Start menu like it would in Windows :)
It's not the Windows key any more... it's the Linux key, I tell you, the Linux key :D.

Or https://www.thinkpenguin.com/gnu-linux/tux-super-key-keyboard-sticker since that nice key cap won't fit on laptops.

You call it the "Super" key. :D
That, in of itself, is proof that Linux is better than Windows. (just kidding of course)
