Linux user share on Steam continues rising — highest for years again
2 Aug 2022 at 5:02 pm UTC Likes: 1

Quoting: BlackBloodRumWhile it's nice to see the linux user count go up, I can't help but wonder if many of those decks are people like me who have both the deck and a desktop linux computer.

In my case, I still use both for gaming on steam. So, in a situation like this, statistically depending on how it was counted it would appear that either:

a) There's now two distros counted for the user (Both percentages could go up)
b) That steam lost a distro user and gained a steam deck user (or vice versa, only one percentage goes up, while causing the other to drop)

In any case, it would need to be clarified as it may artificially make it appear that either you have more Linux users on steam than in actuality or that some distros are losing ground, when in fact they're just not being counted because the user has two distros being used on steam and only one of those is counted.
I got the survey on my deck, laptop, and desktop for the latest survey.

This game does not disappoint. The 6 player online + co-op in each mode is so fun.

Got the notification on my Deck yesterday and then the 0% battery bug hit at the same time. After a hard reset, the notification was gone :(

Quoting: tuxisagamerDoes this support programming writing macros to the onboard memory of the keyboard or just RGB lighting?
Saving to hardware is supported on certain devices (not my K55 though). So not sure if it is Just the RGB or both.

Quoting: brokkrWhile I enjoyed the landscape painting, I never really connected with it as a strategy game. Couldn't spot how my choices impacted things - or if they did. Ended up just trying to do pretty towns for a while before giving up.
Same. The game looks great I just didn't have fun playing it.

SimCity 2000 was really fun and I think it was because it wasn't so complicated and you could actually tell what was going on.

Didn't get a survey in desktop mode which is weird because I always get one on new hardware.

GE-Proton 7.15 is out, enables Fall Guys on Linux and Steam Deck easily

Quoting: pbRe Fall Guys: Is it just the fix from ProtonDB comments or something more? Because that fix didn't work for me on two accounts/computers. One is stuck on "loading" and the other has some weird pop-up about missing files and then shuts off.
Same, I tried the fix and got stuck on the "loading" after passing the "start" button and hearing the fireworks.
Same now with GE-proton715.

If verify the game files and it always finds 1 file failed to validate and will be reqauired (a file when downloaded is 144b) can't seem to get past this :/
You have to link your Steam account in Epic Games. If this doesn't work, you have to open the game in Windows to enter your age. Probably the game isn't able to open the age window in proton.
I've linked my account to Steam, removed the prefix and as a last resort I installed Windows and ran it under there. I'm still getting the missing file error and I'm not sure what else to try.

It won't be the same unless I have to swap floppy disks

Intel Arc Graphics launches for laptops, desktop GPUs later this year

When it comes to their new Arc Control software though, I doubt that will be supported on Linux, just like the other vendors don't give us their fancy control panels.
Only thing these provide of any value are the game profiles. The way native Linux gaming is going, I doubt it would be worth the effort anyways.

Though, if there are more Native Linux games in the future and larger user base I would like to see that feature brought over to Linux.
