32-bit Linux distributions are no longer supported by Steam, Steam Web Browser disabled
15 December 2016 at 7:39 pm UTC
Yes! Finally!
Quoting: LukeNukemNow if only those lazy devs who only ever released 32bit versions of their games would actually realise how stupid that is...
I don't really care whether they do that _also_. But having no 64bit-version is a no-no, as is not testing whether the 64bit version runs.

I think the whole story mode is mainly geared towards make you explore everything, and try out everything.

No idea, I've got Logitech-mice, and Turtle Beach keyboards. No specific preference for the former, but they tend to be rather ubiquitous here in Switzerland, as Logitech is a Swiss company.

But I really like the Turtle Beach Impact 100 keyboard, as it only has the basic functions a keyboard can/should have, and it's got a huge key-lift and a heavy weight. And with the Swiss German layout, I also have a big backspace key, not the tiny the US one has.
Linux Gaming in 2016, an end of year review

It looks like more classic Topware Interactive games are coming to Linux

Quoting: LeopardFor example:Witcher 1 needs that kind of Wine port.Simple,install with one click.

Oh, no. Dead wrong in that case. Because The Witcher 1 only needs an engine Upgrade. It runs on Unity 3.5.2f2; Unity works on Linux from Unity 4 on.
What one game would blow your mind if it came to Linux & SteamOS?

Difficult to decide on just one. Fallout 3/New Vegas, Skyrim or Dishonoured would probably be my favourites. Not sure whether Dishonoured 2 and Fallout 4 are any good, so I don't name them now..

Quoting: slaapliedjeSure it does... if it is connected your login screen appears on it and you can use it like a monitor... if you can make yourself go cross-eyed. :)

At the moment that is all the vive does in Linux.
Hmm, no.

Vrui works, see http://www.vronlinux.com/

And I've got Vivecraft working somewhat https://github.com/jrbudda/minecrift/issues/241
VK9, the open source project to implement d3d9 over Vulkan continues to improve

And it will be a nice starting point to port your games from Windows/DX9 to Linux/Vulkan.
Silence from Daedalic Entertainment is an absolutely beautiful story-rich adventure game, my thoughts on it

QuoteNote: The game may look like it's suitable for kids, but it does feature some bad language. Just a note for parents.

I really don't understand your obsession with "bad language". I think it's kind of unhealthy and it runs counter to (most) European culture to even care.
You might want to avoid the Nvidia 375.20 driver, Nvidia recommend downgrading

370.28 is the newest here on Debian (unstable) anyway, as long as I don't decide to compile and build the packages myself. Usually I don't do that, unless there's a compelling reason to do so. Which there wasn't in that case anyway.
