Huge Steam Beta upgrade with new overlay, screenshot manager & more
28 Apr 2023 at 4:20 pm UTC

Looks good, but no file picker here either. Tried with both -runtime and -native. Nothing is printed to the terminal when I click the "Browse..." button, so I'm not even sure what it's trying to launch.

KDE Connect is getting some upgrades for easy file-transfers

Great tool, I've been using it for various phone-to-PC interactions for years. However I recently bought a new phone, and I was happy to find that I could use KDE Connect to copy files (mostly termux scripts) directly from my old phone to my new one. I didn't expect that, I assumed either host or client would need to be running KDE, but apparently not!

Here's the top Steam Deck games for March 2023

Trying to pull off a lazy bastard (manually craft less than 111 items) run of Factorio. To make it harder, I'm also attempting to play as a pacifist, so I'm keeping the pollution as low as possible so I don't attract biters, and avoiding any resources that are too close to enemy bases.

Do you plan to release SteamOS as a standalone, general-purpose operating system?

We definitely plan on releasing SteamOS as a separate operating system. We don't have exact timing on that. We're really focused on making sure that Steam Deck is a great experience, and we'll release it for other hardware soon.

Starfield from Bethesda launching September 6

I'd laugh if the latest buggy mess to fall out of Bethesda was more stable on Linux than Windows, but I doubt they'll ever release it on Linux natively.

Quoting: Linuxerso can you actually get that achievement? if on board for 10 years?
That's just a graphic Liam's put together, I don't think Valve are doing anything to mark the occasion (but then we all know Valve don't mark the passage of time like most other people do... :wink: ).

Happy birthday, Steam on Linux!

Over the next 10 years I'm hoping for a 64-bit build with the Gtk2 dependency swapped out for Qt6. Also, they could drop the legacy 'ubuntu12' name from the runtime path.

Quoting: WorMzyI got fed up with the slowness of the new UI. I get that some people want to point and click stuff, but the 'classic' keyboard bindings are sooooo much faster (especially if you've used them for years and it's pretty much muscle memory at this point). I pretty much see Steam DF as a gateway drug to classic. :wink:
Doesn't the new "classic" build use the same UI?
Dunno, the latest build is only on Windows right now and I haven't checked it in wine/proton. I'll be very disappointed if it's just the steam version with the updated tileset stripped out. :unsure:
I quickly tried it on my Windows PC at work. It's indeed the Steam version without the tileset and without the soundtrack.
Boo. How will I play over SSH now? :sad:
