THE FINALS should be fixed again with the latest Proton Experimental updates

I think the bigger question is, why does this keep happening? :wub: Someone at Valve needs to get in touch with the devs and figure out how they manage to keep breaking this game every time on Linux, so it can be avoided in the future. I don't think it's sustainable that Valve has to fix it every time again when it breaks.

Are you using Linux Mint? What are your current thoughts on it?
In 2019 when I started with Linux, Mint was my first choice because of its alleged beginner-friendliness. However, I had so many issues with its usability (especially the Cinnamon DE) and eventually I stopped using it and went back to Windows. Now I tried it again a few days ago, a friend of mine is making a home server and I suggested Mint (this time the xfce edition). Unfortunately there's still a lot of issues, like Timeshift automatically making snapshots without even being configured, and no way to view which apps are installed in the application manager. Eventually we both gave up and installed Kubuntu instead which works much better. It's sad to see that it has not really improved. I consider Kubuntu a far more useable distro.

Valve makes Steam Library customisation a little easier in the latest Steam Beta

This is HUGE! Previously you had to right-click on the artworks to change them, a function that was really hard to find (I stumbled upon it by accident) and it was even harder to change the 'Wide Cover' (also known as horizontal grid by Steamgriddb)- you basically had to go to a specific Steam folder and paste your image file in there, with a specific name such as [APPID].png. A total nightmare as you can imagine. I'm glad to see this get much easier.

I'm curious though - would the customized game artwork be the same across every device, or do you still have to do it individually on each of them?

Now we just need 3DMark and the hardware benchmarking/stress testing suite would be virtually complete on Linux!

I installed Bazzite on my ROG Ally X after obliterating preinstalled Windows and it works really well! I'm genuinely impressed with this distro. Nice to see it continue to get better! :heart::wub:
