Maybe if Gog Galaxy was a complete thing on Linux I would have spent my cash there instead of Steam?

I refuse to use any distribution service until a central client does all the dirty hard work for me.

The latest 'Steam Client Beta Update' fixes wired Steam Controller support on Linux

There are two ways I see Steam Controller working

1. Ignore the two trackpads and exclusively use the joystick and ABXY buttons or

2. Ignore the Joystick and ABXY buttons and exclusively use the Trackpads and tigers with multi-click.

Too bad I couldn't unscrew the right trackpad & install a joystick I would buy 3 more Steam Controllers for FPS games.

Quoting: TheGZeusRadeon graphics support is so much more limited on Linux atm.
If Mesa and the drivers catch up I'd switch in a minute, regardless of the crazy stuff I'd have to do get Wine stuff to work with the "steam controller" built into it.

Mesa and RX 480 is working great for me. Replaced GTX 970 and am happier.

If they put the new RX APU inside this I think it'd be a winner but I don't think it's out yet.

Quoting: sarmadThis sounds like a bad port. The spec is much higher than the game seems to need.

Did you NOT read the comments?

Liam noted a page or two up that Ferel always recommends higher specs than is necessary including minimum specs.

The specs they recommend are mainly what hardware it's been tested on.

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.
