Proton 10.0-2 gets a Release Candidate for gaming on Linux, SteamOS and Steam Deck

Gaming is just so stable on Linux now. Absolutley mind-blowing progress from just, say, 10 years ago when it felt like you constantly had to add tinker lines to Steam's launch parameters, or use Glorious Eggrolls version to get things working.
I would say from even 3-5 years ago. Absolutely insane how much development each of the last years has brought us 🚀

Well I mean they are working on it and communicating about it. Could be worse.

Linux hits exactly 2% user share on the October 2024 Steam Survey

Also very interesting that the "Language(Linux)" information seems to be wrong, with English sitting at 97.44% and Russian, German, Simplified Chinese all at >4% alone we have more than >100% of languages used on Linux.
I wonder if that is just an error on Valves side or maybe Valve is now counting all enabled languages for Linux systems (in that case values above 100% would obviously make sense).

Clearly you're forgetting Valves threephobia... :whistle:
We got SteamOS 3 so I believe Valve is cured ;D

Steam developers can now select which Steam for Linux runtime to use for native titles. Please consult the partner site for more details.
What exactly is a "Steam developer", one that works for Steam or they intend "Game developers publishing on Steam"?
Well, probably "Game developers publishing on Steam" or one that works for Valve ;P

Perfection

Quoting: grigiIt's really looking like a second order trend line would match those stats much better.
Or at least a trend line before/after the steam-deck release?
Not sure if it really is necessary, but yeah pretty much matches, although we don't know how it will develop in the future for sure.

Paradox Interactive completely cancelled Life by You (update Paradox Tectonic to close)

Unfortunately kinda expected, all material so far about the game was only mediocre at best, but I had hopes to be honest. The concept is known to work, ppl want such a game, even more so with tons of (actually good ) DLC and even more important (Good)Mod support. Paradox could have offered it. Kinda sad to see they canceled it, it cant be so difficult to make a okey-ish game like that, mod support and future development over 1-2 years could have made it a Sims killer(potentially). I would have bought it.

Really irritating that they killed it, but a delay at best was inevitable at this point.

Now I have even more fear that Europa Universalis V might fail miserably, EU4s legacy is just too great to easily beat within the next 5years.:unsure:

GOG will purge your Cloud Saves that hit over 200MB
7 Jun 2024 at 8:03 am UTC Likes: 2

A few other interesting numbers from Steam, apparently Aragami allows up to 1GB (my basically full play through only takes up around 10KB of that).
But beware Valheim with up to 9.31GB of available Cloud Storage...
however both pale in comparison to...
Spoiler, click me
Rimworld allowing up to 93GB of cloud storage to be used O.o
Well I get it I get it, some ppl have a lot of Rimworld saves, a lot of Backups and one save can easily take up well over 100MB. Still kind of funny.

Btw Wizard of Legend only allows up to 1.91MB.
I assume you can find other interesting numbers over on SteamDB.
