About watching enemy's plan. I had similar idea - you can move your turn and go to prediction mode, where you move your's enemy units and your's units. After all, you can commit your moves before prediction mode or revert it.

Check Knights and Zombies.

Civilization 6, Stellaris. Recent version of Civilization 6 gives horrible experience. Many people describing one's problems with Civ6, but the game works for me great very long. Lately, game could freeze my system during savegame lodaing or loading screen.

I think Civ6 is the best Civilization game and hope Aspyr will repair it.

What we expect to come from Valve to help Linux gaming in 2021

Quoting: eldaking2) A way to play your own games in public computers, like cybercafes (yes, they are still popular in some places). They do have tools already for those, so this could be a very convenient tool.
Many years ago, I think about opening one's company, which will translate OpenSource games to emscripten version and put it to one's web page with advertisement or paying services. I thought students will playing at lessons. Maybe that's the way?
Quoting: eldaking3) Use it in thin clients, that play games through some kind of streaming (either in their servers, Stadia-like, or from your own gaming PC). Like an evolution of the current Steam Link, but with an entire OS attached?. Not sure why it would be a live OS though.

I think Steam Link for Android could been better.

Someone's told, this USB stick should contains Steam Link OS. I think, Valve should create Steam Link for Android instead.

I have worked on similar solutions some time ago, but it's quite different. I designed special OS to play games and decided to install additional OS to work on the same machine. In next step, I decided to allow fast switching between two oses by hibernation. Imagine: Play, press one button, work, press one button, continue playing, press one button, work, ... . Problem was in hibernation ... Linux could mess in FS, which aren't mounted, if you mount it during system session. So, when user mount system with games on working OS and fast switch, there's could be data loss. I could prevent this cases, but I have a lot other projects.

I waiting Civilization V could be played nicely. I must use Wine-Steam (lutris) now. The problem occur, because native version don't support my native (Polish) language.

Hi.
I have trouble with installing Proton 5. Proton 5 isn't visible in my flatpaked Steam installation. I go to library, select tools and only older Proton is present.
