Quoting: EikeSecondary gaming device? :-D
Or, deserved by it's importance, "owning Steam Deck [ ] yes [ ] no"?

I've always had a secondary device

But you can't put it in the statistics, or am I missing something here?

With a bit of surprise I found that my statistics don't contain that I own a Steam Deck (as it's not my primary device).

Quoting: sarmadThis is not necessarily true. Snaps are independent from Ubuntu. If you go to the snap store you'll see no Ubuntu branding there. Canonical is marketing snap as a Linux store, not as an Ubuntu store, much like Steam is a Linux gaming store regardless of which distro you're using. So, if people have no problem installing Steam, which is proprietary and tightly controlled by Valve, why would they have problem installing snap, which at least has an open source client?

Because there's no real alternative to Steam, but there is for Snap. And if you want to know what's wrong with Snap from the view of all other distributions, just ask Ubuntu:

Canonical does have total and complete control over the Ubuntu archive that apt uses. And Canonical has total and complete control over the Snap repository. If something goes wrong and Canonical must step it, they can.

Quoting: STiATHe really played as if he'd see and aim through walls, though it was his playstyle to start attacking through corners by sound, and sometimes by chance since he knew players would cam there and sniper through walls.

I've never been good at any FPS, but I once was called a cheater because I knew where and when I needed to jump and throw a grenade at the very beginning of a round to catch the one guy who sure was running into a certain direction from the start of the level. Fun. :)

Quoting: ssj17vegetaDo you guys know of any good KDE-based distro, as close to Ubuntu as possible (since most native games are tested on it and I love Deb packaging / user-friendliness) but without Snap ?

Well, I'm using Debian. The Bookworm version would probably your best bet currently, it's the "testing" version to be released in the next months. I'm using KDE.

Quoting: slaapliedjeWeird, is the mod installing some case sensitive files that are causing it to not work on Linux?

IIRC all files are lowercase but I will take another look.

There might be open calls with different casing. You could try this option [External Link].

Quoting: s01itudeI'd much rather have autopopulated "playlists" as well as a better recommendations tab: things like "games you've installed, but haven't played", "old favorites you haven't played in a while", "trending games", and the likes.

I vaguely remember having seen such things on Steam...?
Was it in some sale action?

Quoting: s01itudeBeing able to mark games with tags like "finished"/"unfinished"/"100% completion" would also be a great tool.

I do this with the current tag (category?) system, what's missing is something like
select * 
from [games] 
where genre = 'RPG'
  and State <> 'finished'
  and State <> 'givenup'
  order by release_date

Quoting: PlintslîchoLooks fun but my enthusiasm to back projects up on crowdfunding platforms has long gone. I'll rather wait for the release of the full game.

I'm still at 100% success rate with funding only games that have a Linux demo or a Linux predecessor.
