it is on linux. steamOS is also linux. and yes it looks horrible after this tweak, and the blur that comes when youy start running.. thats not so intense anymore, its sort of fixed, but performance issues arent fixed yet

Windows version runs literally more than twice as good as the Linux version for me on the same hardware. Outside on the Linux version I got 15 FPS average, on Windows I get near 60 (55) FPS average. AMD FX-6300 with GTX 970. On Linux frame rates are crazy sporadic too, sometimes its okay for a few seconds and then it spikes way down, on Windows the game's frame rate is a lot more consistent. If you have a Windows partition there's almost no point in playing it on Linux unless you enjoy an uglier version that runs at half the speed. Just buy it for Linux, wait a week and then play it on Windows to make sure your sale is still for Linux. Honest advice.

Dying Light was just one of the major games coming to Linux, and although even on Windows it's not greatly optimised, to me it marked the changing of how developers viewed Linux OS. I have a Windows Partition on my computer, where I sometimes play GTA V (rarely now), MW Remastered (not that much at the moment), Red Faction, and Elite Dangerous (when I'm in the mood. On Linux, I have DOOM, Alien Isolation, The Witcher 2 (not played yet), Dying Light, Cities Skylines, Wolfenstein The Old Blood(not played yet), And another game I bought recently, Amnesia. Deus Ex Mankind Divided is also playable on Steam, but I've already completed it on Windows and it's an ok game, just not that great to me. Now I'll admit, Dying Light could do with better optimising especially on Linux, but the issue with Linux is that Chrome engine is made to work on DirectX, not OpenGL. In my opinion OpenGL and/or Vulkan should ALWAYS be taken instead of DirectX, since it's multi-platform. Just look at DOOM for example, I can run that on Linux no problem, it honestly makes Microsoft look like a complete joke, which they are!
