Valve Looks Like It's Removed The SteamOS Icon For Games That Work On Linux, But Not Perfectly On SteamOS

I agree with the idea of restoring the Tux icon to mean "desktop Linux only" while the SteamOS icon means "desktop Linux or SteamOS".

Steam Controller On Ubuntu, A Tweak You Need To Do
16 Oct 2015 at 6:15 pm UTC

I thought this was an "early bird" release. It wasn't made entirely clear at the time that this is essentially "early access" for hardware. I'm not complaining because it's always fun to have a new toy to play with, and I'm confident Valve will get things sorted out, but I they could have curtailed a lot of the grumbling if they had been more clear about exactly what we were in for.

Mine should arrive by the time I get home from work. Seeing lots of bad-mouthing on the Steam forums (what else is new?), but I get the impression most people have only played with it a few minutes which isn't really enough time to formulate a valid opinion.

Yes, it's AMD's fault that mr-egg is late for work. It couldn't have anything to do with his time-management skills. What a terrible company.

AMD CPUs are pretty solid. It's just their graphic card drivers that are crap.

Wasteland 2: Director's Cut Released, Looking Good For Linux

"Save files won't transfer over either, as there were too many changes."

Oh! That sucks. I was waiting for the Director's Cut to finish my current play-through, but it looks like I'll be starting a new game instead. Bummer.

Firewatch, The Stunning First-person Adventure Game To Release On 9th February 2016 For Linux
12 Oct 2015 at 8:15 pm UTC

Quoting: GuestI’ve been following their blog for a while, and the game sure looks good, but I still have no idea what the gameplay will be like. Walking simulator? First person puzzler? Action? Adventure?
I wasn't sure about that either. At first I thought this was another survival game (of which there seem to many right now).

Linux is more stable, more secure, and more flexible than other platforms, and it has excellent backwards compatibility. It's the superior choice for developers who want to future-proof their software.

I see you've realized that you can "like" your own comments. That's cute.

Since you apparently have nothing more to say, I'll assume you concede the point and will wish a good day.
