Quoting: Lolo01I would like to try this beta version, but Steam is downloading again all the Windows games already installed...
Are you sure those are not 0b downloads? Because that's what happens to me with every (re)start of the steam client - suddenly I have a couple dozens of 0b "downloads" of the games installed with proton - I attribute it to behind-the-scenes configuration changes and maybe shader caches, but it sure is annoying.

Quoting: Alm888The biggest shot in the foot Microsoft® made was "DirectX™ 12 Windows™ 10 lock-in". :D
Maybe you are too young to remember how many times Microsoft shot itself in the foot. Here's a small list...
  • Windows Vista DRM

  • Windows 8 metro UI

  • Windows RT app incompatibility

  • Windows 10 NSAtc reporting

Eventually they will run out of feet and might shoot themselves in some more vital organs...

The absolutely best thing about it is that I can finally play Windows games on SteamOS with *zero* tinkering! My kids will love this!

I can wait and buy when all episodes are out, but I wonder what keeps Feral delayed with BtS, hopefully some other, yet unannounced Linux ports. ;-)

I might back this if they port Four Last Things, no point in playing just the sequel. As it stands, I'll wishlist it at best.

Quoting: pbI'm still waiting to be able to play RotTR on SteamOS non-beta. Maybe in 3.0...
Why?

You can play with that update?

Drivers are very up-to-date , kernel is also ok. Even LLVM is in a good shape.
I'm on stable, last time I tried the game said my gfx was not supported. I think stable steamos still doesn't ship vulkan for nvidia.
