Valve have finally fixed the upcoming SteamOS & Linux game filter, nearly a year later

Quoting: Eike
Quoting: 14Can we also filter our library to Linux games even if we're running in Windows? Last I checked, I had to be in Linux to filter my library by OS.

Either way, it's great the store has the OS filter working finally.
You can always explicitely choose SteamOS/Linux and deselect Windows. (Except for the upcoming section, where it didn't work.)
Think he means his current library, which no you can't.

Steam's library really isn't well designed client wise.

And yes, real journalism also involves pointing out flaws in others work, not just pumping out articles.
Hopefully costs aren't too high then! And yes, journalism does, can, and should be critical of other journalists, pointing out the ones who are wrong, as well as the ones who get it right. Journalists are supposed to be the watchdogs for truth. Ignore anyone who says otherwise! ^n.n^
I'm going to print this out, and stick it above my monitor.

We don't take money of any kind, from anyone. Patreon was stopped, and we don't take anything on Paypal either. We are all 100% volunteers in it for fun because we can.
Oh cool, what about server and Internet fees though? I'm annoyed that we still don't have a good and widely-used standard for p2p distributed Internet, because that would make the whole thing much easier and cheaper. Freenet is the only p2p web solution I've tried and it just hasn't become all that popular sadly.

Quoting: TheBosslolwut, it's completely ethical to point out totally wrong news and spread the truth, how is that unethical? Weird.
Damn right, countering false information with truth, and spreading truth in general, is pretty much the definition of real journalism.

Quoting: tomtommeLucky you that you are not in it for the money. Lucky you that you do not have to rush out content. Others have to, to make a living. AS long as they also deliver quality content most of The time some mistakes in between are fine with me. On phoronix the oversight was instantly cought by a reader in the comments. Its easy to say that you knew the number is wrong, after you commented there too. I do not geht why you make a story out of this.
No one has to rush out unresearched junk for money, that's clickbaiting, no one appreciates it. I pointed it out to Phoronix and Softpedia as soon as I saw it on twitter, my commenting on Phoronix was an additional step hours later as he has still not corrected it.

I made a "story" out of it because I don't like false news spreading, it's quite simple.

or was it how blunt I was about it?
Possibly that's the reason... at least your comment in the phoronix forum sounds pretty abrasive to me. Don't know what you've written on softpedia though.
It's how I normally speak, I'm not going to mince words any more and tread softly around websites which constantly put out junk. We are here to give the correct news, and not shuvvel out articles for advert clicks.
Sometimes its good to remember own hard times and to stay polite. Help each other instead of fighting. You point a Finger here and your tone sounds almost arrogant.
I did try to help, by pointing out they were wrong. I was greeted with hostility by Softpedia's reply to me of "wtf is this then" (whch they have since deleted), and then they blocked me.

Quoting: reaVerSo social justice is hitting the Linux gaming scene. We may have to campaign our asses out of this one guys.
Don't know how this has anything to do with social justice, but it's still a bad (and maybe even an unethical) thing to do.

Well, Softpedia have now apologised and unblocked us. Mission accomplished in that regards.

The article still stands though, this could have easily been researched in less than 5 minutes worth of effort.

Quoting: seb24It's because some games are announced on Linux but not published yet, like XCOM2 for example.

So if you filter by release date is not showing theses games.
Exactly what I said in the article.

Sadly I tried to chat to the author on twitter, he stands by the headline because he really doesn't see a point in SteamOS. We have our work cut out for us folks.

Sorry, no livestream tonight, CoH2 is not behaving at all in windowed mode for me to do it.

It's possible it's Unity's hotkeys getting in the way due to the game being in windowed mode, so I will disabled them and try again tomorrow.

Could someone try out windowed mode, and see if the camera rotation works normally in windowed mode for you? Add "-window" to the steam launch options.
