Did Valve ever say why they dropped the native Linux build? I assume it's because they knew they weren't keeping SteamVR for Linux up to par, but not sure if there was any official statement...

I picked up God of War for under $17 - I'd been waiting patiently for it to drop below $20. :woot:

Quoting: GIBbeerI had so many problems, random UI errors popping out... and recently these boot loops. Now I have removed Decky and I will not look back.

If you aren't willing to put up with potential bugs, you shouldn't be using pre-release/alpha versions?

Quoting: ShmerlI've never heard of Fanatical games store before. Is it very new?

No. It used to be called Bundle Stars, but it's been a few years now since they renamed.

I hadn't heard of this game before, so looked it up on Wikipedia. Apparently it was released for PlayStation 2 and GameCube, and the reviews weren't all that great:

Nice to see Aspyr did a good job on the remaster; I wish they still did Linux ports, but at least we have Proton.

Quoting: Penglingit's important to point out that the Linux option isn't Windows, and that things aren't going to act the same, and that the software you'll use won't be the same.

I like to encourage people to use cross-platform software. Have you tried LibreOffice? It's free. Have you tried Firefox or Chrome, instead of the browser that comes with Windows? (IE was extremely bad, then slightly less bad, and nowadays Edge is available for Linux if you *really* want it). Once they are used to using quality open-source software, switching out the OS underneath is easier. And even if they don't go that far, at least the other stuff gets mind-share, instead of propping up worse alternatives.

Lately, all the store pages show as blank for me in the Steam client. Haven't tried troubleshooting since I don't care that much, but it's persisted across a few (beta) updates, including the latest.

Edit: It's the "GPU accelerated rendering in web views" setting; I guess Nvidia broke something in the 555 drivers.

"Thank goodness for an extra launcher!" said no one, ever - but I get how it can be useful in this situation, as long as they fix the bugs.

Kudos for the fixed name; I wondered "why do they have a macOS build for the 'Steam Deck' version?"

Do people actually like the look of the interlaced video emulation? Smoothing out interlacing was always the preference in the past... :huh:
