Quoting: etamYou can link your steam account with lutris and list of your games gets synchronized automatically.

But it only syncs the library partially, not all the games are there... and additionally you cannot get it to sync multiple accounts.

I haven't tried any recent builds, but last I saw it only looks for games in your default Steam library folder.

Quoting: MagicMythI can see Steam Proton soon being able to run a tone of older games easily that Windows 10 either requires a lot of hacks for or just can't be done. It will be a funny time when a large amount of one's Windows games collection only works on Linux as the years go by.

Back when Steam Play was still a rumor, I theorized that: 1) it was at least partially based on WINE (correct), and 2) it would be used not only on Linux, but also on macOS and Windows (for games that broke on newer Windows versions). It looks like the macOS support was there early on but got axed (due to Apple being so anti-gaming with their API support), and so far they haven't done it for Windows. But they could in the future?

The "0 byte downloads" aren't completely gone! Here's one easy way to trigger it:

1) Open the properties of a native game
2) Check the "Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool" checkbox
3) Immediately, there is an update queued
4) Uncheck the box and close the dialog

You will now get a 0 byte download. At least in this scenario, it makes sense how you get that result.

Quoting: PhlebiacI still wish they would change it so that you can have the officially supported games in the "STEAMOS + LINUX" view, but be able to launch unsupported games via Steam Play from the "GAMES" view. Right now, you have to globally enable Steam Play, and then the Linux view has both supported and unsupported games in it. Plus switching between modes requires a client restart - annoying.

It's slightly less annoying with the current beta; you can leave the globally enabled Steam Play option off, and force Proton to be used for specific Windows games. But that still makes them show up under the STEAMOS + LINUX view.

Quoting: Salvatos

Reworked global Steam Play enable settings to only override the Proton version used by unsupported games

What do they mean by that? You can't override the Proton version for a whitelisted game?

I think that means the global option no longer makes officially supported games use a newer version which may not work due to regressions, but you can still override on a per-game basis if you really want to. I think this is much better.

Valve has been clearing out the backlog for Steam this month, I'm loving it!

With all the various Unity bugs, a wiki page listing them, with workarounds and games affected, could be quite useful info.

Quoting: EikeWhen I was in university, they told us that IPv4 is running short of addresses and the new IPv6 will fix that.
This was over 20 years ago.

NAT on the client side, SNI on the server side - and suddenly the "shortage" isn't so important.

Quoting: einherjarThey do well, if you remind yourself, that we are about 1% of there customers ;-)

For gamers, perhaps. But I'm sure the overall percentage is much higher; many professional workstations use Linux, not Windows. The average users just have the built-in IGP, and don't factor into their market at all.

Quoting: elmapuli think we should remake it on godot instead of keep working on the old code base, replace the assets with new ones, and have 2 separate sets of levels, the classic ones and new levels more polished and curated.

Sounds like you have yourself a project! If not, why complain about how others spend their time?
