Valve have a new Beta installer for the Linux Steam Client for the brave tester

I'll try this, but I'd prefer if they tried to work from within Debian/Ubuntu nonfree repos, sticking closer to distribution policies.

For example,
- Debian and Ubuntu have sensibly split the udev rules into a DFSG-compliant (free software) package. Follow their lead, and go further by getting the rules integrated into systemd/udev
- The steamdeps script is an unused and unloved way to work around normal package dependencies. No wonder it's buggy. Admit it and get rid of it.

I dropped Dirt Rally 2.0 and Street Fighter V for being expensive DLC fests, at 145€ and 524€ respectively.

NVIDIA have released the stable 440.31 driver update for Linux, plus a new Vulkan beta driver

Still nothing on the PPA front.
I see it was built for the Focal archive, but that's it.

Keep an eye on 'Veloren', an open source multiplayer voxel RPG written in Rust
5 Oct 2019 at 1:02 pm UTC

Quoting: GustyGhostI got it to build but not to run. Some error with default-run in the .toml file. Their documentation could use some love.

Sounds like an outdated Rust version. Run: `rustup update`

Valve are expanding Steam Remote Play with defaults for popular games and a new API

Quoting: mao_dze_dunYet, they can't be bothered to ad HEVC/h.265 support for desktop to desktop streaming... How can they be THIS lazy?

I can imagine why they don't go there: it's a patent racket, it adds latency, acceleration is not portable or predictable enough.

The latest Humble Monthly seems like a good deal for Linux + Steam Play (two early unlocks)

I don't like the loot box commercial model.

It's good value theoretically, but buying blind means most of the games aren't interesting to me. So I'll only buy if the early unlocks seem like stuff I'd really be into.

That's a very bittersweet Google+ post.

Go read it people, and thank the developer who gave us 40+ natively-supported and well-tested titles!
