I switched to Ubuntu for my gaming PC over a year ago and from my Steam library of hundreds of games so far I only found maybe 1 or 2 that did not work on Linux, but worked on Windows. All the others work flawlessly* * there is one caveat t

I think the most important thing to keep in mind when playing TTS is the need to learn three things simultaneously: - how to use TTS, - what are the rules of the game you want to play, - how those rules are applied in the specific TTS game&
