A new and quite interesting Steam Client Beta is out, nice Linux fixes and Vulkan shader downloading

Quoting: HoriI use monitor built-in-speakers so unless I destroy my finger pressing the volume down button 100 times to turn mute the audio, and then 100 times again to turn it back to max, which I never expected to have to do, I can't do anything about it. Turning the volume down normally through GNOME will turn the volume on the receiver also.
Turn the monitor off?

... but not a single Linux game [External Link]. :-(
FWIW, I played all 3 Runaway games with WINE, years ago. Presumably they would work well with Proton.

Quoting: AciDIn the mean time, you can use Alt+F3 under kde to access the window properties/actions, even without any 'proper window decorations'.
Many windowing systems (including GNOME) use Alt+Space for that.

Quoting: wvstolzingFor classic Doom, it's always better to use a native source port
Sure - I was just giving an example of how useful it is to have the options.

Quoting: jarhead_hI had Batman Arkham Asylum working until I updated to 4.2 and 418.56 and suddenly it doesn't work.
I'm glad they have the options for forcing different versions to be used. Doom II is whitelisted for 3.7-8 by Valve, but produces no sound (for me). If I use 4.2, it crashes immediately. But with 3.16-8 Beta, it runs and has sound.

Quoting: BielFPsIs there some option for filter versions in the site? Like I want to see feedback from the latest version with just mesa drivers, but didn't found any option for that.
The GreaseMonkey script has filtering options:
You may also personalize the rating to your system by filtering the tests by OS, GPU driver, Proton version and max. test result age. Click on the gear icon somewhere near the rating to open up the config dialog.
