Internet Speed is a good idea, have made a note to add it later.

Quoting: GuestHow about adding to the Controller Section the Stadia one? Also probably not worth it but would be interesting : An Internet Section where you can select a range of speed. Like 5Mbps or 50 or 100 and so on.Stadia Controller added.

There's now over 6,000 Linux games on Steam plus thousands more playable with Steam Play Proton

As looking at total releases on Steam for Windows, between 2018 and 2019 the later year only just had more releases the difference was very small overall. When looking at SteamSpy that is, my own scraping calculation actually showed less releases overall in 2019 than 2018. Either way, each year until 2018-2019 the difference was multiple thousands, now it is far far less.
Averaging total 2020 releases so far, it's not going to be much more than 2019 if the trend keeps up. So it's not a black and white issue of Linux decreasing by itself - total releases on Steam seem to be around a point where the dramatic yearly increases are no longer happening. You could say, Steam itself has gotten to a point where it's close to stagnating in terms of yearly releases growth.

Quoting: GeoGalvanicLooks like monthly releases have more or less levelled off. I'm curious as to what the linux monthly releases look like in comparison to to all monthly releases, but I'd assume that the latter is continuing to grow, which would mean that the percentage of games releasing that support linux is actually decreasing. :'(The issue is interesting.

I suppose even though they don't support Linux, a fair amount of people dual-boot and such so it's useful to know.

Quoting: AlexCHi.Added Rift / Rift S.
Suggestion, can you add Oculus devices in the VR dropdowns also?

Quoting: CSharpI've had a rather bad experience trying to get Fedora running on my Lenovo Thinkpad Tablet, at least from the Lenovo side of things. All the response we've been getting on the Lenovo forum for issues related to this machine with Fedora is "This device is not supported".Well, yeah. We're talking actual supported and tested devices here. Totally different.
Hopefully they'll start to actually support their devices with Fedora on them.

Quoting: PhiladelphusValve have already clearly said there's no current issue in their tweets from both the CS:GO and TF2 accounts, as linked in the article. Don't trust random twitter accounts on old leaked code.Quoting: PatolaWhat about the remote code execution [External Link] found in Team Fortress 2?I've seen this debunked on a few sites now, though I'm sure Liam can get us an authoritative quote better than my "I read it on the Internet". :)

Quoting: PatolaWhat about the remote code execution [External Link] found in Team Fortress 2?Valve said it's not an issue. The code is older. Some of the twitter posts that originally claimed that one exists have been deleted.
