So… what's there left for Valve to surprise us :P? (I like it so far)
SteamVR has another beta up, with plenty of Linux fixes and other improvements

I wish there could be an option to use a Google Cardboard as a testing device for SteamVR on Linux (the quality is generally awful, but it's good for testing). It is possible to emulate HTC Vive on Windows for SteamVR via RiftCat's VRidge, but it's Windows only and not open source. Last time I checked there were some other similar projects, but I couldn't get any of them working under Linux. Not sure about Wine/Proton.

Steam Controller Controller :)

I kinda wish I'd have one though – I prefer KB+M over all the controllers I tested so far (Xboxes, Playstations, Gamecube, Switch, reto consoles or the generic ones…), thouhg I'd love to give Steam Controller a try. I kinda hope they will get a huge sale like steam links someday, maybe with the release of v2 if it ever comes to it, as the price and shipping from Valve is really expensive and no local retailers have it anyway.
Epic's Tim Sweeney thinks Wine "is the one hope for breaking the cycle", Easy Anti-Cheat continuing Linux support

However, if it'd be about the 30% cut itself, itch with up to 0% would be overflowing with AAA games already.
Whose Wine is it anyway? Wine 4.11 is out

QuoteMore DLLs are built as PE files by default.
What does it mean? What kind of files are DLL in Wine? I thought all DLL files are PE by default, or do it means the file that previously were .so are .dll now?

If so and I understand it correctly, then it's interesting, as it means more MinGW-GCC usage instead of regular GCC, so kinda opposite of DXVK winelib was supposed to achieve?

@massatt212 I'd also recommend https://github.com/Tk-Glitch/PKGBUILDS/tree/master/proton-tkg especially for those at Arch and deriviatives :)
Dota Underlords from Valve is already quite addictive and they're improving it quickly

It's actually called Reverse Valve Time :)
Valve release a new stable Steam Client from all the recent Beta builds, nice fixes for Linux

Quoting: gradyvuckovicFor Linux (& Mac) gamers, that would mean all those games currently not playable on Linux, the 40% or so of Steam that isn't quite there yet with Proton, would suddenly immediately become playable via an alternative solution, ie: streaming from a Valve server. Effectively bringing all Steam games to Linux.
Except if their internal backend would run Linux, just like Stadia – which may as well be the case they are spending so much time on Linux, either SteamBox2 or both, hm…
More shots of Steam's new Library design thanks to a leak (updated)

So far it's not so bad. Not many things changed, which is good. I kinda wish they'd upgrade the whole client from the legacy cruft, but as long as they manage to expand it (like they did with big picture mode, proton and now this) it's fine. I just wish the client could be fully 64-bit though.
Valve have put out a new Steam Client Beta, it's small but good for Steam Play users

Quoting: BeamboomWhat do people use that overlay for, when gaming? For Steam chat? I just simply never enter that mode other than if someone happen to message me during a session...?
Achievements, guides... or sometimes just checking time if you are on one monitor only :D
Another Steam Client Beta is out, adds the ability to force Steam Play

Port quality aside, keep in mind that there were some game license that had the Linux button, even if they contained no files, so it's great they fixed it: for example BEAT.TRIP RUNNER activated from Humble Indie Bundle 4 (it had a native version on Humble, but it was never uploaded to Steam for some reason) or TRAUMA from "Krystian Majewski Comp" from some CD-keys. Or some extreme cases when game technically lauches, but due to Linux-exclusive bugs is not even playable, for example for the owners of a removed game Jerry McPartlin - Rebel with a Cause (there's a few more obscure games in my library that didn't even want to launch too).

Quoting: gustavoyaraujoThat's pretty cool. But hey, are anyone here missing Proton updates?
:P
Maybe they are waiting for 4.0 to release? Or planning something bigger, such as more performance tweaks especially for DX9 titles (PBA? Gallium 9? VK9 eventually?) :)?
