Quoting: liamdaweNote: Updated the text to be clearer, it's Steam wanting to use system SDL, not Forsaken. Sorry if that wasn't clear enough.
Which should be fixed, id I read the bug report correctly? (Not yet in bionic, though)
Should be, will test properly and announce when it lands for everyone :)

I will shout it from the rooftops.

Quoting: melkemindI look forward to playing this game once it leaves Early Access, although I suspect I'm going to be pretty awful at it.
Believe me, being terrible at it is part of the experience :P

Build the aquarium you always wanted in Megaquarium, out now for Linux

The developer has removed the Linux version from the store, although it only seems to be temporary due to a few issues (likely the cursor issue I mentioned). The only other reported issue I can see is on an Intel GPU with outdated Mesa, so I don't think there's that many Linux-specific issues.

Quoting: GuestI just want voices and music in Skyrim Special Edition....
I believe FAudio will fix that, which Ethan Lee is working on. Let's hope Valve hire him, full speed ahead number 1!
That will be the solution to make it work out of the box. However there is a workaround for Skyrim Special Edition. Works for me..

Workarounds are nice, but the point with Steam Play is to use no workarounds, click and play.
