Small update to the PC info system today, you can now get a 'forum signature image'
13 Oct 2016 at 2:34 pm UTC

Quoting: opera
do people want forum signatures here?
No please dont do this. Comments are are very good to read now. Signatures will just mess it up.
It can easily be a feature I would let people turn off, if I did it.
Quoting: ripperI don't like this. It's more visible than an actual comment, and it just clutters up the interface, making the discussion less readable. There's power in simplicity.
No one is forced to use it.

Nice! Is there a way to change the font? this one [External Link] might be useful.
Yeah font will change as it's the default for now.

Changes:
- 64/32bit replace with desktop, now it doesn't overlap the middle.
- Added some padding to the left side so it doesn't rub against the border

You can already do that now. Check your Steam Store settings.
That setting does not actually work for only showing Linux/SteamOS games, I still get Windows-only titles everywhere.
Strange, this has been fixed on all my computers last month, Steam says built sept 20th. It is back to showing just Linux games for me, like it use to.
That's the Steam client, not the actual store.

Valve looking to contract experienced Mesa developers to work on the open source AMD driver for OpenVR

Quoting: GoLBuzzkillLast 7-8 years Valve only knows how to take 30% from someone elses work.
Bitter much? You think building and maintaining the Steam infrastructure or supplying the 2 terabit/s bandwidth is free?
Not only that, but progress takes time. One of the only reasons Vulkan has been pushed so quickly is Valve. Valve also hired the SDL creator, created SteamOS which is one of the major reasons we have all the games we do and the list goes on.

Valve aren't perfect, and can be slow to react to things, but let's not bite the hand that essentially opened up a lot for us eh.

Mesa has now hit full OpenGL 4.4 support for AMD radeonsi and Intel
13 Oct 2016 at 7:24 am UTC

Quoting: GuppyIs that a new thing with the fee, it seems oddly greedy for something that could ( should even ) be a fully automated conformance test
Newish, it is only needed for OpenGL 4.4 and above.

Valve expects to sell 1 million Steam Controllers by early 2017, will allow configs for other controllers
12 Oct 2016 at 10:10 pm UTC

Note: Adjusted the headline as it wasn't right, the text however was. Valve expect to sell 1M by early 2017, not in early 2017. Sorry for any confusion.
