Seeing as FTL and Slay The Spire are two favourite games of mine, I'll be watching this one.

Broken Sword game free on GOG now too.

The problem with the typical bundle for me is that I already have half the games in it, and the bundle's inherent value is significantly diminished - The games that I'm lacking do not compensate me sufficiently for the price being requested.

Burning Knight [External Link] (native Linux) is at 90% discount in the sale. Quite tempted by that one.

Also Warbanners [External Link] (native Linux) at 70% discount.

Yeah, I gave the (free) Prologue a try and it is a nice game.

Steam Deck pushed Linux to the highest share on Steam in years

Something that I'm finding a little unclear about this "Percentage of Steam Users" graphed data:

I personally own multiple Linux computers - my new desktop, my old desktop, my new laptop, my old laptop, my mini-pc connected to the TV, and just recently a Steam Deck. All those devices are running Linux, and whenever I have a hardware survey (on any device) then it is my regular user account "g000h" (using my GOL nickname as an example) signed into the device.

So how does one person owning multiple devices affect the Linux marketshare data?

As a single person, with a single sign-in, does that count as a single entry in the data above? (With Steam installed on 6 different hardware devices.)

Or, is each Device being counted, so I'd count as 6 Linux Steam users according to my machines listed above.

Yes, I've given it a little try today. Worked for me on my new desktop, once I'd installed SDL mixer library.

Quoting: jrtIt's only cheaper if you don't have to buy a legitimate Windows licence to upgrade the firmware :D
Frankly, you don't *need* to buy a 'legimate' Windows license to install that operating system. It runs okay without a license and it seems Microsoft is okay letting you use it 'trial-like' until you get around to purchasing your license. They're probably happy enough collecting and selling your telemetry data than not having you using their OS at all.

Get a whole lot of Serious Sam in this game bundle

Good news for GamingOnLinux - I just bought the full Serious Sam bundle but converted almost all the custom donation to GamingOnLinux. A good way to contribute to GOL, while not giving money to the Devs who are no longer supporting Linux natively in their latest titles.

Backpack Hero is an inventory management roguelike and my new favourite game

Really like this game myself. Played about 15 hours *of the demo* so far.
