Looks addictive. Could this be the one marble game I've been searching for?

(I'm looking for a Marble Blast reincarnation or other Marble games)

- Must have Full Controller Support
- Must have Steam Cloud

Looks like it could be a winner.

What have you been playing recently, and what do you think?

This news makes me want to drop 800$ on a HTC Vive for Linux & Serious Sam VR.

So trippy.

Stardew Valley... I'm grinding through fall year 2 and going for the major burnout on it.

Once I'm done though I'm sure I'll be done till multiplayer comes.

Yeah, Stardew Valley is a drug.

Shadow Warrior 2 should still be coming to Linux after all, was a miscommunication

Well I'm sure they don't mind the PR remembering them - sales of their game no doubt go up when they hit 100's of news sites and people take two seconds and are like "oh, remember X" - "oh yeah what's going on with X?"

Much like how lots of video game information or trailers are "leaked" these days - lol.

Kubuntu is one of the few distros that delivers a pure KDE, without any customization, as showed in the images. And as Valve uses Debian as platform for SteamOS and Ubuntu as a target distro, I think is safe to say it is Kubuntu.
Or it could be Neon, Debian, Arch, or a whole host of other distros that have a truly 'pure' KDE desktop. At this point Kubuntu is one of the worst choices for a KDE distro - it is still an entire version behind in Plasma/KDE/QT.
Agreed - KDE on Arch is a dream, KDE on Kubuntu is a nightmare. Pacman vs PPA, the thought makes me shiver.

As someone who owns this game I'm glad I have it and there will be no effect, I can play eduke32 etc just fine.

Post 2000 duke series is trash anyways.

Valve looking to contract experienced Mesa developers to work on the open source AMD driver for OpenVR

I purchased two GTX 970's for Linux builds maybe a year or two ago costing me $800 - it was worth it for me and my girl to game on Linux at pretty decent frames and high GPU settings on most games at that time as nothing else was available.

Now I finally decided it might be a good time to go AMD so I bought a RX 480 for $300 and began a 1 week test to see if it could replace my GTX 970.

I kept it and have since seen it outperform my 970 in some games (CS:GO on Linux).

I solely purchased a AMD GPU for the first time in 10 years for AMDGPU & MESA and I have to say it's pretty stable, performs pretty good, and resolves other weird Linux oddities I never knew NVIDIA Blob was causing.

I am very thankful to Valve for all they have done for Linux. I expect their future actions to mirror their past actions in bringing more games and new technologies to Linux day by day, month by month, year by year.

Once games are on Linux it's gameover, it will be the easiest system to morph into whatever form factor to play the games.

Thank you Valve, Thank you AMD, Thank you MESA developers, you guys have my appreciation and thanks.
