That looks darker then the demo I remember...

Well, when you have lots of disk space, a 4k screen and lots of games, you can pretty easily get that kind of page :

What a waste :(

I guess I'm curious what you actually want from them to fix that issue? Personally, I use a 4k screen -- but with an armchair in an HTPC setup, so I use scaling to be easier on the eyes. I have no use for tiny interface elements to begin with. I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest you probably run into similar white space issues with a lot of apps.

Will, there's lots of unused space in the middle. Something tiled might help.

Ok, I see the waste of space. But what would you do with the 47 downloaded games? Are you looking through them for update notes? I guess it's not like you touched all of them in the last weeks and care too much? I'd "effacer tout" and all data I'm actually interested in fits fine on the screen.

Quoting: kellerkindtSo next up is the Steam Linux half-time celebration, where steam is half of it's life available on Linux (since Feb 14, 2013).

@Liam, you must not miss this one!

If I (and LibreOffice) didn't miscalculate, 14th of Feb 2013 [External Link] minus 12th of Sep 2003 [External Link] is 3443 days, so the "break even" should be 20th of July in 2022. Which is incredible, as it feels like Steam is there forever, and while Steam for Linux doesn't feel brandnew anymore, I can still remember well how surprised I was when I first read about it.

I boycotted this evil thing called Steam until 2011, when the retail box of Skyrim forced me to install it, Then Steam forced me to install an update so big that I couldn't play the game the evening although I had the DVD. Man, I hated you, Steam. Call of Duty Black Ops 1 and 2 and XCOM followed next year, and then, what a surprise, Steam for Linux beta! I found two Windows games I bought in 2013, Bioshock Infinite and a Fallout New Vegas Ultimate pack for IIRC 5 bucks, and then everything was Linux.

Library: The Recent Friend Activity shelf has been removed.

But why? :sad:

Privacy?
I actually would buy a lot more games if I could just filter out some of the statistics it publishes about me. I mean, talking for a friend, because I do not play nor have the games I talk about.

I have a short friends list, but one of them is a former boss still working in my company. I do know these thoughts. If I would play such despicable games, that is, of course.

I backed the game and I'm looking forward to it.

But man, I do hate this new title screen (shown as preview of the video as well), which is so much less dark than the demo was looking and feeling. I hope this is not a new direction of the game. I hope it was a publishers (bad) decision.

So Steam ingested WINE too early?!? :D

with SSD only ~ 12 seconds
to load the client.
Edit:
And for reasons unknown the loading time stays at 12 second after remounting the HDDs even after rebooting :woot:
Thank you very much! I would never have tried that.:smile:

HDD went to sleep and motor powered down? When remounting, the drive would be woken up.

Interesting idea, but shouldn't that be way faster than a minute?
