I wonder if they've included ultrawide (21:9) support.

Quoting: JanneThe argument seems to be something like "only technical merit should matter". But whenever you have at least two people working on one thing you have a social aspect to it, and it becomes important. "Be nice to each other" is not politics, it's project management 101.
You're right. It really is politics too though, and that's not a bad thing. People only use politics like it's a bad word when it doesn't match up with their own politics. There are politics in everything, and anyone with a job knows there are office politics. There have to be. Who has the power? How much power do they have? What powers do subordinates have? What is the mission? What is the code of conduct? These are all political questions. Even in my house, there are politics I have with my kids. In that example, I'm El Presidente, and they better do what I say. :D

I look forward to playing this game once it leaves Early Access, although I suspect I'm going to be pretty awful at it.

Well, if we're talking about Steam Play, you can't leave out Shaolin vs Wutang. :D

Lately, it's like every day just brings good news piled on top of more good news. The future seems brights.
A writer for Forbes has been talking about the positives of switching to Linux

Quoting: ArehandoroI hear loud and wide how Forbes nowadays it's not what it used to be anymore*. Yet these articles are not only welcomed but also appreciated.

* Actually not that loud and not that wide, my comment was more of a southern hyperbole than an analysis on Forbes' articles xD
Well, it's true though. Anyone can write for Forbes now, and a lot of their articles are like content-farm clickbait. But a positive article about Linux is still great no matter where it's published, and we should definitely support such efforts.
BlazeRush is another completely awesome co-op game available for Linux

I've been playing this game for years with my kids. Good fun!

Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain works very well.
Valve officially confirm a new version of 'Steam Play' which includes a modified version of Wine

Quoting: melkemindI have NieR Automata, but this game was broken on Windows [..] and not really playable without the third-party FAR mod
The fullscreen bug doesn't even happen on wine, and the game has been fully playable on wine for over a year now (and for over half a year with dxvk).
I'm sure we just have different ideas of what "playable" means. I used the FAR mod to improve performance and unlock the framerate, not just fix ultrawide screen problems. I just tried it with Proton, and it was locking to 30 fps. There's probably a way to get it to work. I just don't know what it is.

I have NieR Automata, but this game was broken on Windows (and never fixed by the devs) and not really playable without the third-party FAR mod, which doesn't seem to work on Linux (requires a dinput8.dll injection).
