Quoting: PyrateStill can't believe there's no proper privacy friendly alternative to Discord. Matrix/Element is the closest I found but even that one is not there yet.

Every time I tried Matrix, I found it to be pretty horribly designed. Their mod tools were rubbish, and their multi-room system was ridiculously bad that just strung multiple standalone rooms under a special heading and that was seemingly all it really did. Discord at least generally works well at its job.

Quoting: Liam DaweUpdate: upgraded the chart to show a coloured data point for events, added Steam Deck OLED release label, added vertical lines to specific events.

The Steam Tracker page for the top Linux chart also now shows data point labels on hovering anywhere on the chart. It even works on mobile finger taps.

Additional update:

- Added a link to toggle the event labels!

Quoting: GuestThe title led me to expect a rise in SteamOS Holo usage.
However, the data shows a -0.28% decrease.
Is this a mistake or am I interpreting it incorrectly?

It is correct. The point of the title is that the Steam Deck is what's still pushing the Linux number up.

While "SteamOS Holo 64bit" is the first OS on the Steam chart, we should not forget that the other 63%+ of the Linux Steam usage polled by comes from other distros.

Writing this because I think they deserve a mention too ;)

They are mentioned clearly in the article in the list. Don’t really get what you’re trying to say here. A title only tells so much, and focused on what is actually pushing the number.

I think he means, Steam Deck added a huge chunk. But pure desktop is growing as well. There was a point that Steam Deck was almost 50% of the Linux percentage. Steam Deck hasn't stopped selling well. I figure, with the continued growth and success of the Steam Deck, it's percentage declining means that more and more people are installing Linux to their gaming machines. I definitely haven't seen any trends of people switching from SteamOS on their Steam Deck.

Sure. I can understand that. My reply would be the same though, it's still the Steam Deck that has massively pushed the number up. So the title focused on that, and everything else is in the article list. TBH it feels like pedantic nit-picking at the title from kokoko3k. So I won't be entertaining comments on it further, I have much better things to do like upgrading the chart... :)

Quoting: fabertaweThis is a fantastic game, I've now put in 220+ hours and having a ball (Linux native).

Please note the demo is quite a way behind the game proper, which gets constant updates as it's still in development. Also note the story line is unfinished (half way?) but personally I play the game for the survival aspect and base building and not the story :grin:

I cannot find a demo?

It's listed right on the store page, big green banner above the purchase box.

Quoting: CloversheenThat's a pretty cute backdrop! But isn't it a bit late to call it "autumn" in late November? :grin:

Winter doesn’t start for the US until late December.

Quoting: qraziI can only select 4:3 ratio resolutions it seems. Could not find in the documentation or the GitHub issues how to change that. Anyone here knows by chance?

I noticed that too, so I assume they haven't implemented other ratios yet. Maybe time to open a ticket ;)

Quoting: hummer010I had somehow missed that EU-IV was on GOG! 90% off for the base game, and several selected expansions is a pretty good deal...

Only noticed it myself today, so figured it was a highlight.
