Quoting: GuestAnd the 'casual' mode is a joke, i don't understand why you can't choose the maps like in mm

Doesn't CSGO let you pick a map at the end of every match? Also you can start a vote to change map, which can be used to play the same map after game ends.
I played it for a short while then got bored, I play Apex when I have time.

After doing this update Apex Legends just disappeared into void and I have to redownload, also "manage library folders" button (or sth similar) found in Settings -> Downloass does nothing. Reverted to stable.

Quoting: slaapliedjeAlso why would you share anything with a Linux hater, sounds like you need to ditch people.

Sharing is not my choice.
The good thing is I set up things nicely: Windows and Linux dual boot, all of the games and data are on the Windows partition but I can mount NTFS with 2 clicks on Linux so everything is accessible on both operating systems. No, having Steam library on NTFS doesn't cause odd issues, for me at least.
The bad side is no one cares about the FOSS philosophy but instead whether Linux works or not. More often than not Linux doesn't work OOB, I can fix the problems but the moment the failure occurs, the choice is made.

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. A regular HOI4 mod doesn't include platform specific files like .exe or .so so it should therotically work everywhere but it doesn't. I tried asking for help in mod community's Discord but I didn't get useful advice. (files may be conflicting, switch to DX9 which ofc doesn't exist)

YESSS! Do I need to opt in to beta for the fix?

Quoting: Purple Library Guywhy would you be using Proton with the Paradox launcher at all?

A specific HOI4 mod (Europe in Flames: Agora) doesn't work with native HOI4 while it works on Windows, macOS and Proton. Also my PC is shared with a hardcore Linux hater (I may be exaggerating, but still) so even if I don't want to use the mod, Windows version of HOI4 will stay installed no matter what and I will have to either flip from Proton to native or have 2 copies of the game.
IIRC you asked this before.

Quoting: shorberglaunch date driver bugs

Isn't this still a thing with AMD for GPU launches and both AMD and Nvidia for new games?

Quoting: tfkWriting how to posts on AppHQ.

As I read the comments, a few things make me feel weird:
1. Most of you are Linux users for a long time, while I use Linux since 2020 and play on it since 2022.
2. Despite only recently starting gaming, it was nowhere near an OOB Just Works experience. I dealt with forcing games to use Nvidia GPU, any Vulkan application freezing due to a driver bug, Apex Legends stuttering even with GPL and mod problems with HOI4. I even patched Proton (only a week ago!) so Paradox Launcher would well behave.
3. In 2 Steam accounts around only 5 games were purchased in total (and only 1 pirate game which I can't acquire in a different way) while everyone else here has hundreds if not thousands.

If you have good Internet and a good PC (Linux + Nvidia excluded, because, reasons) then the new UI is silky smooth. But the new UI is unusably slow on my Linux PC witth Radeon HD 8330 which I find weird.

Quoting: SSUPIIAt least their lancher is native, and actually works.

My PRIME laptop would like to join the chat.

Quoting: FreejackThis also breaks it across every platform not just Linux.

I searched the error on the internet and filtered results to last day. I got only 6 hits, all of which are from Steam Deck.
