yooo, the cube is back?

KDE5 did not have it, they said it was not even possible as how kwin works there. Glad that they returned it :grin:

What the actual fuq?
Is this for real? You do know that this is designed to kill people, not in a cs-fashion but for real. And all with the currently f'ed up narrative and politics, you are cracking jokes with it.

I can not believe this, what a shame.

I hate cheaters so much.

I also play GTA 5 a lot, so you get the idea.

@Tchey

Just start the game in windowed mode and maximize the window - this way the 640x480 resolution will be stretched to your entire screen. Should that be too big you could also adjust it to e.g. 800x600 and more, just as you did, and maximize that one as well.

it works perfectly fine for me with a 4k monitor, I can see the screen in a classic 640x480 view, at my monitor's full resolution.

I hope they don't intend to switch away from linux at all, when referring to away from `Debian-based Brewmaster`

That would not make sense at all, considering the efforts. I moved away from steamOS myself, but the only reason for this was because it is stuck with old software and the lack of e.g. Kodi

I totally do not agree with all that valve bashing.

First of all, many stores, including google and apple do charge 30%
Second, the most expensive part for Valve is surely the CDN network in lots of cities in many countries. That's not just "let's put a rootserver somewhere and mirror all the data", it costs tons of bandwidth (which is not free!), power and servers.

Given the amount of traffic steam generates as seen here https://store.steampowered.com/stats/content/ [External Link] .. I do not even want to criticize them in any way, you double these values with their internal traffic by the way, since surely no server holds all the game's data on its disks.

Also consider what e.g. microsoft charge here, given the fact that you have to pay to play as a customer - I am talking XBox live - which is outrageous to me. It's like: I bought a game and paid the share to microsoft, to the devs, and have to pay again to microsoft just to play it online. Just imagine Valve charging people for going online with counter strike?!

The transaction fees are about 10-30 US cent for each transaction + a few %, depending on the used method, which leaves for every party pretty much nothing for indie games sold for < $1

Also Valve offers lots of support there for the customers, without even contacting the Devs first, they are doing a pretty good job as far as I am concerned whenever I contacted them.

30% is a lot, yes, but it is imho fair, given the total one gets from valve here, also the devs are spared the transaction fees, chargeback fees, the network providing downloads and patches, partially support, partially even marketing - since steam is a huge platform to make your game noticeable to players.

It's like a "pay 30% and forget about everything else"-fee, honestly I would go with that if I was a dev.
Other companies like Epic may charge less, but they sell more expensive titles and I do not see indie games there for a few bucks, which create little revenue for everyone.

pb, drmoth,

I am not sure why this happens. I also opted out once Feral told me that this is due to the beta branch, hoping that I would be kinda soon in the non-beta versions again. that was when proton came out, I really started using it very soon.
Perhaps opting in again would help, since you say that that it worked for you while in the beta. Will try :)

well, that's how I am doing this since day 1 :)

But there is an issue with step one (STEP ONE: Enable SteamOS Beta Updates) which has a side effect: I can not run Rise of the Tomb Raider any more after doing this, the game does not recognize a Vulcan-capable setup after doing this.

My hardware and software there is GTX 950 and 396.54 as given from the beta repos. The guys at Feral did not know about any solution either :/
