Upcoming Steam update should fix lag spikes on Linux when the Steam Overlay is disabled

Other than troubleshooting an issue directly related to the overlay, I can't think of a reason to disable the overlay? Why are so many folk doing so??

For me, it's the belief that fewer external features mean fewer problems and better performance.

Fun games for Steam Deck that won't break the bank

Star Renegades - Pick a team and fight through ~5 hour runs. I very much like the "turn-based" combat system in this one and finding team synergies.
Previous title from the developer - Halcyon 6: Lightspeed Edition is also great.

Come tell us about what you've been gaming on Linux lately

I had Mindustry for very long time on my wishlist but didn't buy it because of its simplistic graphics with too bright color palette. Still, because of overwhelmingly positive rating, I finally decided to give it a chance. I become addicted very fast and put 60 hours into it in 12 days. Time just flies when you concentrate on building a large autonomous base.

Trese Brothers Games reveal Cyber Knights: Flashpoint - a tactical RPG that looks like a flashy XCOM

I backed it because I like Star Traders very much (I have more hours only in WoW, CS and Mount & Blade) and also their communication with community on Discord is great.

D9VK, the Direct3D9 to Vulkan layer has a huge new 0.40 'Croakacola' release out

I hope that Gothic 3 will now work without massive stutters. Does anyone know when will this update be available on Steam? (I don't want to do any manual work, expect right click and select Proton version"

"let them know" link doesn't work for me.

Looks like a nice game. I'll wait for the input issue to be fixed. Thanks for the warning!
