Editorial: An open letter to Valve on why they should keep on embracing Linux

Quoting: Power-Metal-GamesValve knows what they are doing without any suggestions. I felt like an idiot just by reading this.
Valve might have some good ideas, but they're not infallible. If anything, some decisions they've made in the past few years should make that quite apparent. There's absolutely nothing wrong with BTRE (or anyone) voicing their opinion and suggestions. To say you feel like an idiot, for reading a bit of humour with some interesting ideas is pretty disrespectful.

Quoting: Power-Metal-GamesIt's not probably that some Epic store will win and take the place that Valve has.
Some games have already completely cancelled their Steam release, some have delayed them and so on. It has already begun. It might not be drastic right away, but a lot of developers are talking about moving over to the Epic store.

Quoting: jarhead_hQuite frankly I think that if I were Valve reading that I'd be pretty pissed.
Eh? Not sure why you came to that conclusion. I fully agree with BTRE here, especially the point on taking even a 1-2% cut if a developer does a multiplatform game. Not just to help foster Linux games, but to support a healthy developer community to give them just a little more support for branching out.

Have absolutely no clue why you would think Valve would be "pissed".

NVIDIA driver 415.22 is out for Linux, finally adding Transform Feedback support

Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoI wonder why this driver in not yet available at Ubuntu ppa?
The PPA team is aware, they also have jobs as well (this isn't their job), so updates to the PPA are essentially whenever they have free time to do so.

Honestly, I would like to see Ubuntu have something more official for this in future.

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive introduces a Battle Royale mode, goes free to play

Quoting: ageresIt works if I unplug my Logitech F710 receiver (Steam Controller can still be plugged in).
Anyway, this mode sucks. Runs at 27-50 fps, 16 people only, the drone system is boring, and the outdated gameplay of Counter-Strike doesn't fit to battle royale.
Speak for youself. I find this to be the best mode available in CS:GO easily. Mine runs over over 100FPS the majority of the time :)

The drone system is boring? What makes you say that? It makes the gameplay incredibly dynamic.

Quoting: DaidMain developer here. Not super actively working on it anymore.

However:
Currently, they're only providing packages for Windows and only "guarantee" support for Windows
Linux support is guaranteed to work, we run our setup on network booting linux systems. But there is not a pre-build linux version, because I didn't want to figure out how to best provide that.
Sure. Was simply going by your official info provided. The GitHub literally says:
but only Windows support is guaranteed.

Unplug and turn off any gamepads, then try again? Seems to be a theme with that breaking it for some.

Looks like both A Hat in Time and Gravel are coming to Linux, ports from Virtual Programming

Quoting: no_information_here
Now it's back again…confusing but good for us to get more games.
I can't seem to find A Hat in Time on their website now. I hope it really is coming this time!
It does seem to have disappeared.....
I've emailed VP for a statement.

Removed once? Possible accident or announced too early? A second time...what's going on eh?

Quoting: PatolaTried to run the game after the update, it went to a black screen then crashed. Any ideas?
It gave me a momentary black screen, but after waiting for 30s it comes to life. No crashes here so far.
