Happy Birthday GOL!
Been a reader of this site for many years before I made my account. Glad to see how much it has grown, especially with the deck! It's my go to site for checking out what's happening with gaming in general,and procrastinating work

7900 XTX here, quite looking forward to trying this out. Is there a list of games with this working anywhere? I own DOOM Eternal, but not sure I can be bothered to reinstall and replay it just for RT hah.
I know it's definitely a gimmick, but one I'd like to try anyway

Very disappointed with this to be honest. Payday 2 was one of the first games I was amazed to have linux support, I played it so much at that point.
I understand their reasoning, though in my opinion it doesn't bode well for Payday 3.

I much prefer the current system, having the numeric ID is so much nicer than just sticking numbers into your name. I'm not looking forward to this change at all, and it's not something they're likely to back out of now. Discord had been good for so long... how much longer before it is worth looking for an alternative instead?

Just purchased the bundle, though already owned Control and Hellblade. Particularly excited to try Sable.
Side note, not sure if anyone is aware but if using the link Liam gives you, when adjusting where your money goes, an extra option is given to choose how much of your purchase goes to GamingOnLinux.

Good to hear - anyone know if haptic feedback/adaptive triggers works on any games?
Don't own a PS5, but thinking of getting one of these controllers if Steam Controller 2: Electric Boogaloo doesn't rear it's head any time soon.

At the moment I've actually not come too close to filling up the 256GB as it is, but I have been a bit more cautious and so far still only been playing some smaller indie games. I think eventually I'll upgrade to 1TB or 2TB, but think I'd be a tad worried about damaging the deck while doing the upgrade. Interested to see if others will be upgrading it

Amazing to see how much gaming on linux has grown since then.
I've used linux all my life that I remember; playing BZFlag as a kid blew my mind. Then got hugely into Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory which worked amazing on linux, and then got really into linux gaming with the Live Linux Gamers distro. It was a live distro that came with maybe 10-20 games preinstalled (still playing Urban Terror today!). Made a few other stops along the way before I finally joined steam in 2014.
So many hours spent troubleshooting games, getting them to work under linux or solving weird issues. It's mindblowing to me these days that you just click install on regular ol steam and then click play, and boom - it's working. It's the case with so, so many games that I'm used to it now. Never thought plug & play would become the norm but I'm so happy it has.
Thanks for 10 years steam!

Quoting: neffoI the only person who has Steam Big Picture running very slowly (like 10 fps) on Desktop Linux ... though it's fine in games though?Yep, I'm getting the same. I switched from Ubuntu to Nobara recently so it might've been that, but the non-beta BPM didn't have performance issues on Nobara, and the beta was fine under Ubuntu. Honestly just assumed it was my issue, as my GPU died and I messily reinstalled my system at the same time.
