Also the same developer is giving away their older game Despotism 3k as free to keep for a few days. https://store.steampowered.com/app/699920/Despotism_3k/ [External Link]

Yoku's Island Express is fun, I recommend that.

For people using Bottles are there any particular features over what Lutris offers?

Typically for Windows games I use Steam client if I have it on Steam, Heroic for free Epic games, and Lutris for anything else including non-games. Wondering if it's worth giving Bottles a go, but not sure I want to add another program into the mix.

Quoting: Purple Library Guy

Quoting: questioner9

Quoting: Purple Library GuyOK, so the article saying they hit a thousand games came out 5 days ago. So, 5 days to do 200 games, pace of 40 games/day.

That's not bad. But at that pace, in a year they would do 14,600 games. How many games are in the Steam catalogue again? And how many come out in a year these days? They need to ramp it up a bit if they want to be able to say anything about the Deck running all your games.

Remember that's figures for Verified/Playable only, Unsupported is still a rating that means a game has been processed (albeit not a rating we want to see). So they are getting through the catalogue at a faster pace than 40/day generating a verified/playable additional 40/day.

True, but on the other hand it seems like a lot of the "Unsupported" are sort of barely/temporarily Unsupported, where there's some little bug that could be fixed next Proton version and then they'll have to revisit it. And some of the Playable may see work by the developers to upgrade them, so they'll have to revisit those ones too. So they are also in a way going through the catalogue at a slower pace than 40/day, or will be as the false negatives start to accumulate.

Yes good point, re-rating things up as developers fix issues or indeed checking game updates don't break existing verified; if I understand correctly that a verified rating isn't guaranteeing a commitment by the developer to keep it working with Proton in future game updates.

A nice introduction video that was interesting.

Pretty exciting project; maybe we'll be playing the full steam library on the Raspberry Pi 2030 edition.

Nice. I'm getting hyped now for "after Q2" :)

Think the Cinnamon Calendar widget changes look interesting. Not sure how much of the theme changes I'll see as I've kept with the older Mint-X theme and icons.

I've also been using kernel 5.13 installed via the update manager, running great with no issues.

Heroic is great :) . I wouldn't buy a game via Epic store since they don't support Linux, so use other stores which do, but I'm happy to claim the free games they give out each week and try them with Proton.

Much credit and thanks to Flávio F Lima and other contributors to Heroic on making it so easy. Also thanks to the developers of the Legendary backend.
