CrossOver 22 released for running Windows apps and games on Linux
25 Aug 2022 at 8:37 pm UTC Likes: 2

I bought a lifetime subscription several years ago, although I haven't installed/used Crossover [checks pacman.log] since 2019. Looks like it uses gtk3 these days, and that's a big nope in my book. Oh well, I can't think of anything from Windows-land that I'd need to run now, apart from the few Windows-only games I have (which are handled by proton these days), so I don't think I'm likely to download the latest release any way.

I wonder if this'll be the scrape where AMD overtakes nVidia in the GPU vendor results. :shock:

Great series, up until 4. Still hoping Code Veronica will come to PC at some point -- don't fancy fishing my copy out of the attic any time soon.

Linux user share on Steam continues rising — highest for years again

Surprising to see such a big increase for Arch (and Manjaro) percentages while SteamOS remains almost static. I wonder if Valve have changed how SteamOS identifies itself, or if more people are making the jump to Arch-based distros for some reason.

I've updated my profile to reflect that I'm using Wayland now. Aside from a couple of niggles (notifications cause flickering when in a full screen app such as mpv, steam notifications appearing as all black when Steam is closed to systray {fix [External Link]}, selection buffer/clipboard behaviour being inconsistent between Wayland-native windows and XWayland windows), the experience has been smooth enough that I've not felt the need to revert. I've even switched to sddm-git so I can do away with X running at all [External Link].

Steam Deck hits over 4,000 titles marked either Verified or Playable

Quoting: GuestIt's currently sitting at 1850 verified and 2093 playable, for a total of 3943 games according to Valve's official numbers.

Where are you seeing "over 4000"?
I'd guess https://www.protondb.com/ [External Link]. I don't think Steam provide an official count, and as we've already established, the number is meaningless anyway. A game that is verified today could be unplayable by tomorrow (but still listed as verified). Likewise, a game that is listed as unsupported could work fine with a little tweaking.

Armello removes advertising Linux and macOS support due to their party system

I've requested a refund for the base game and DLC. Shame, I could see this being one of the games that I actively played online from my Steam Deck.

If they ever rework the backend to drop whichever 3rd party caused this train wreck and reimplement private crossplay matches for Linux users, I'll happily re-buy the game. From the announcement though, this is the last update they're making for this game. :(
