Quoting: TevurJust another, vaguely related thing:Each new Steam Runtime is based on a newer version of Debian. More info here [External Link].
Yeserday, I got an update for Steam Runtime 4.0.
When was that released? What is the difference to Sniper? Who uses it?
Why is it not codenamed, yet? (vote for cannoneer)
Maybe for VR, Fex and the Frame...?

I think it continues to show just how smart Valve were on the price to performance. They hit a sweet spot with it all. But, they do have the Steam store to back it up, other vendors don't have that. Bring on the Steam Deck 2 eh! Once the AI bubble pops that is.

The native versions of those games worked very nice for me!

Quoting: EhvisDid Proton 10 ever release out of beta? Don't remember ever using it except for one recent game where I had to use Proton Experimental.Yes, it was initially in November 2025.

Quoting: spacemonkeyOr this article is incorrect, or I don't understand the technology behind it.The article is correct, the GitHub page explanation just isn't particularly great right now. It works with non-Steam games, that's part of the point of it.
How I understand it: It is for getting Steam achievement offline and without using the Steam API. This is why it requires a "Steam Emulator".
Thus, this will not work with games you buy on Epic or GOG. It still requires a game from Steam.
In my understanding

Steam Beta adds Remote Downloads Management

Quoting: Drawing PixelsThe lack of a download all is simply that they want to spread the load on their servers over the whole 24 hours, most people download in the evening after work.I really doubt that is the actual real reason, because it's a bit silly if so considering you can just drag them all into the Up Next like I do.
They do provide an option to set specific games to high priority with immediate download, but for the rest of your collection they'd rather schedule those downloads during low traffic periods.

But for reading anything, stretching across such a wide area is overall pretty poor. I'm sure there must have been studies on it I read somewhere. It's about not overloading people.

Quoting: XpanderWhy on earth is there so much empty space. Everything is squished into the middle. I have my monitor in landscape not portrait ffs.The main reason being: readability. For games, having the area across the whole massive monitor makes a lot of sense. It pulls you in, draws you into the world, helps engross you.
well thats not steam only issue ofc. Every freaking site does that these days :(
