Quoting: GoboBut for Ogre it means abandoning the roots of their name quite literally, as I think OGRE is the OpenGLRenderingEngine.It was "OpenGL Next" before it was Vulkan. ;-)

Microsoft confirm their new Chromium-powered Edge browser is coming to Linux

Quoting: geekeningyo i thought windows 7 and server 2008 were going to be EOL january 14 2020 , but they are listed here under supported versions. curiously, edge is releasing on january 15 for all those platforms. its confusing.Their intention is to compete with other browsers, and they can't do that if they don't run on the same platforms. Keeping it exclusive to Win10 hasn't worked out for them thus far.

Quoting: eldakingNow, if they ported Microsoft Office to Linux, that I would be interested in. Not that I want to use it (for my limited use, Libre Office is more than good enough), but it might be necessary for collaboration, and it would make transitioning to Linux a lot smoother.If you can tolerate a web-based version, I understand Office365 works fine. No personal experience; I use Libre Office also.

Quoting: LinasChrome is becoming the new Internet Explorer. Quite literally.I think Safari wins that one, although I agree with your points otherwise.

Quoting: NezchanOh, that's funny. If you click the penguin icon to filter for Linux games, but have Proton enabled for all games, then it doesn't filter anything. Which is behaviour I thought they were going to fix from the old version, but apparently not.Yep; that's why I immediately turned the option back off after trying it, and why I was much happier when they added the option to enable it on specific games.

Quoting: [email protected]The OS filter is gone?There is a little (chubby) penguin icon to filter.
Remote Play Together should now work properly on Linux with a new Steam Beta update

They still haven't added back the Steam Play info (where it tells you the Proton version that either you or Valve selected). They did finally fix the alignment of the penguin icon, though. ;-)

Looks like their hardware requirements list is just random recent stuff. A GTX 970 minimum, but GTX 1050 recommended? That just doesn't make any sense.
A new Steam Client Beta is up and it looks like Valve may add better support for Soundtracks
