That led us down this path of Proton

Yeah, "down" seems fit for me...

Still excited for what will happen this time.

Quoting: dpanterI'm hoping (without any actual hope at all really) that Steam will show the Deck/SteamOS as a separate data set rather than lumping it in with the Linux data we are familiar with today. It would indicate if the Deck had a positive effect on desktop Linux adoption. :neutral:

I hope for the opposite. We will see the positive effect if Linux numbers are climbing up significantly, and I don't want to be a third class citizen after Windows and Deck.

Quoting: EikeSpeaking of the Library manager, when I go into the directory I always find myself surprised how many games leave some stuff there that I actually uninstalled (I'm not keeping games around which I don't play)...

Are you sure that’s not the saves and users settings? Keeping saves and others user-related stuff, so I can continue if I reinstall the game is expected for me (and, for any user that can’t keep all their games always installed because of disk space, and have to rotate between them).

I guess it is, never bothered much to look into all those directories. I would expect a game with cloud saves to delete its local saves though, and personally, I'd even want it to forget about my preferences (but I can see how you would think differently on this).

I use to install a game, play through (or give up), delete and... well, hopefully not forget, but probably never install again.

Quoting: GuestI so hate these trailers full of text that can’t be read because it goes too fast :(. This one is even worse because of the weird UI layout and effects.

I know what you mean, when there's text, one wants to read it, but I guess it's more about getting a general expression what you're doing in the game (chat, walk from bird's perspective, examine, gathering clues, solving puzzles, phone calls, elimnating airpl... *what?!?*, ...) than actual content of the chats. But yes, I did try (and did fail) to read it, too. :)

Quoting: DebianUserThanks, i will look at that.
For me the problem is obviously here:
CApplicationManagerPopulateThread took 27010 milliseconds to initialize (will have waited on CAppInfoCacheReadFromDiskThread)

How do you get that info?

Quoting: DebianUser"library pinning process is significantly faster at startup after runtime updates"
Nice, i'm always wondering why Steam is so long to start.

There's a Steam thread about this:
https://steamcommunity.com/app/221410/discussions/0/3046104336669739701/ [External Link]
It takes more than 1.5 minutes for some, and less than 10 seconds for others (including me).

Quoting: WorMzylol, I've never seen rpm/deb described as 'next-generation'. I can kind of see it with rpm, but deb is something that deserves to be consigned to history as a terrible mistake that future generations should learn from.

IMHO, it's far better than what the 90% of desktops OS does. And even Microsoft found out, so they're working on a package manager lately...

Quoting: constAnyway, they were among the first to jump the Humble Linux train that got everything started and I'll never forget that. Linux gaming today only exists because of some critical events and the HIBs were a key part of this.

Trine 2 was the first game I bought for Linux. :heart:

Yep... Sitting on my couch, my Inspiron N5110 on my lap. Still remember that moment. Good'ol times, when everything felt new! :happy:

It didn't start up at first, all just black, and I wasn't even disappointed, I felt like it had to be like this, 'cause, you know... it's Linux, it cannot be for gaming!
