Canonical seek Software Engineers for the 'Ubuntu Gaming Experience' team
29 May 2022 at 6:20 pm UTC

Quoting: NanobangLol, their collective nose must be out of joint from when Valve switched from Ubuntu to Arch, which might have turned out differently had Ubuntu gone '"all in" with gaming on Ubuntu' back in 2012 or 2013 when Valve committed to Linux gaming using Ubuntu as their default distro. Still, I wish them well and hope they don't Mir-Scopes-phones-Unity this thing. :wink:

And did I understand correctly that they're only now putting Steam in a Snap?
If you're thinking of SteamOS, it was originally based on Debian, not Ubuntu.

Unless, keylogger on the system?

Indonesia, lovely! They really should add some Proton cars with the update to complete the Southeast Asia experience!

Some sort of mod support is planned for the future too, but I don't think anything has been announced as to what exactly. User created stages or cars?

Proton Experimental bumps minimum driver version, more playable on Linux and Steam Deck
13 May 2022 at 11:55 am UTC

Quoting: damarrinThat version bump is brutal, these are really recent drivers.
Yup. And not really recommended:

"Mesa 22.0.0 is a new development release. People who are concerned with stability and reliability should stick with a previous release or wait for Mesa 22.0.1."

Proton Experimental bumps minimum driver version, more playable on Linux and Steam Deck

Quoting: jordicomaWhy anyone would play on proton "Beneath a Steel Sky"?. "Beneath a Steel Sky" its freeware and it runs perfectly with scummvm (is where I played this game).
And the sequel "Beyond a steel sky" it has native support.
Well I supose if someone wants it could be run.
The version on Steam is not native, and Proton/Steam Deck does not use Roberta or anything similar to run these games through a native ScummVM.

The Windows version of ScummVM Beneath a Steel Sky ships with was apparently using some text-to-speech API that wasn't supported in Proton previously.
