Quoting: ElectricPrismHow and where do I open a steam:// URL -- I can't seem to navigate to the area where I can manually enter the location.
Just in your browser, and if your desktop is setup correctly it will open it inside Steam and you get a Console tab along the big main navigation bar.

Quoting: PublicNuisanceI see so many developers say this. Do developers seriously not know how to dual boot an OS ? Failing that do they not have a spare HDD they can toss Linux onto and boot onto that ?
A big part of it is a lot of developers only have their one machine. Even if they have more than one drive, screwing up your only machine is a pretty big risk. Installing Linux might be easy nowadays but that doesn't mean if fits in with the hardware developers currently have. It's why I honestly think WSL2 with the proper GUI support coming up could really help developers with the testing part.

Quoting: RedjeWith ARK coming to Stadia, does this mean they will also update the broken Linux build?
Don't count on it. This is the company that took multiple months to fix broken water, even when we showed them a 2 minute fix. They probably only care about Stadia, as clearly Google are giving them a monetary guarantee with it being in Stadia Pro.

UPDATE: the website Ars Technica has reportedly spoken to "sources familiar with the matter" who have confirmed it's real and will be Linux-powered.

Reached out to Valve Press but it's still unlikely they will say anything at all until they officially announce it. Either way, stayed tuned to GOL for all the news as usual ;)
