Quoting: Mountain ManI know from personal experience that Steam for Linux throws up the survey request far less frequently than it does on Windows. I went nearly two-years without a single survey request in Linux, but I would get one every couple of months in Windows, which was ironic considering that at the time, I booted into Windows only occasionally and used Linux almost every single day. I've heard from a number of other people who have had the exact same experience.

I'm starting to wonder if the bolded is exactly the reason. For a bit over a year, I've been running Steam almost daily on my gaming PC, I got the survey once early on. Today, I started Steam on my laptop, just to check out the sale, I don't use it much to play anymore. And of course, the survey pops up. Both run Linux, Ubuntu on PC, Fedora on laptop. Maybe the hardware survey has a higher chance of coming up when Steam notices some change compared to your usual setup, rather than polling people completely at random. Valve anyway knows what OS you're using to connect, they don't need a survey for that.
Don't know, just a suspicion I have. If anyone here has a second Linux machine that they don't usually use for Steam, maybe even with a different distro, try starting Steam a few times to see if you get the survey, would be interesting if this is reproducible.

What worked for me on Ubuntu was what Olling posted above:

I wasn't expecting much, but somehow this launch has managed to disappoint so far. I had hoped for some more ports (Saints Row, Rocket League), and a few announcements (Just Cause 3, something definitive about Witcher 3 would've been nice).
The sale is somewhat underwhelming as well, but I guess I only have myself to blame, since I buy a lot of games as soon as they're out on Linux if I'm at all interested. So at least this launch and sale is very backlog-friendly.

Quoting: EikeThe Long Dark has launched as well. Seems some indie developers have taken the date more serious than Valve...

Still showing as Early Access for me?

Quoting: ziabiceI'm checking steamdb every hour: everything seems strangely calm...

Saints Row IV has been getting several updates since yesterday morning. Medieval War II also had one yesterday and today. I got excited, but then I saw that Divinity: OS also had updates, so now I'm not so sure this means anything... :P

I definitely like how this looks, but I'm not much into multiplayer (I just suck, and I don't want witnesses :p ). It says it's got bots, is it possible to play solo practice matches? Or is that just a short tutorial?
Did you play this with controller or kb&m? Steam site says 'partial controller support', I guess flight controls work with controller?

Looks really interesting. Will definitely keep an eye on it!

Would be nice to have all those features on Linux, but I'd rather they focus on driver improvements first.
