Quoting: amataiDoes anyone have a list of the games from the bundle that would work on Linux (Native or proton) ?
Here are the native ones, getting list that shows which ones work with Proton is little bit more complicated. For Proton anyway, it's good to check details bit more closely from Protondb as games can sometimes have problems with certain setups.

Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs [External Link]
Amnesia Rebirth [External Link]
Amnesia: The Dark Descent [External Link]
Broken Age [External Link]
Corridor Z [External Link]
Drawful 2 [External Link]
Draw Slasher [External Link]
EarthX [External Link]
Fury Unleashed [External Link]
Hexologic [External Link]
Kerbal Space Program [External Link]
Kingdom: Two Crowns [External Link]
Long Dark [External Link] (this might not be listed native everywhere, but at least Steam store thinks its native and I have played it without Proton)
Metro Exodus [External Link]
Monaco: What's Yours Is Mine [External Link]
Moon Hunters [External Link]
Pathway [External Link]
Pawnbarian [External Link]
Pikuniku [External Link]
Radio Commander [External Link]
Shing! [External Link]
Skullgirls 2nd Encore [External Link]
Slay the Spire [External Link]
Starbound [External Link]
SUPERHOT [External Link]
This War of Mine [External Link]
ToeJam & Earl: Back in the Groove [External Link]
Tooth and Tail [External Link]
Vagante [External Link]
Wanderlust Travel Stories [External Link] (GOG only)
We are alright [External Link] (actually a video)
Wizard of Legend [External Link]
ΔV: Rings of Saturn [External Link]

Comics and books should work, they rarely have DRM (if ever)

Quoting: slaapliedjeha, I want an orphanage named after me. Kidding, if I'm going to donate, I do it anonymously. Which brings up the people who are putting their names on there and donating lots of cash. I mean won't they get on Russia's 'list'?

Such weird times we live in...
At least according to Hillary Clinton it's badge of honor. If you get into Russian sanctions list, you're doing something right. If it's just sanctions, they will only hurt you if you actually have some ties to Russia.

Now you too can underpay everyone in Office Management 101

I played the demo when it was available and it has potential, there just wasn't enough differentiating things implemented, so it was kind of Gamedev Tycoon lite.

Quoting: Termy
Quoting: subDoes Steam allows to activate multiple keys at once?
Instead of clicking through several pages every time?
just go to https://store.steampowered.com/account/registerkey [External Link] and click "activate multiple products", then you can just paste one key per line.
Remember that you can only activate 50 Keys per hour
That's not there by default. I found these instructions though: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1369737759 [External Link]

I glanced at the script code and it does seem to have integration to Humble and few similar services. Hopefully it doesn't contain anything malicious, I'm not Javascript guru so I can't really tell.

As far as I know, no. Bundle page is four clicks and keys page is the same. Some games come in bundles though, so you'll save some clicks.

Some years ago the activation happened directly from the bundle page, but now activation happens always from Steam store (you can activate the key with Steam client with the code, but that's even more cumbersome).

What I would recommend from what I have actually played are:

Slay the Spire: quite influential rogue lite card game
Drawful 2: If you have friends, try this one out (great thing is that phones are used as controllers, so non gamers can also play)
Superhot: The time moves only when you move shooter. If you have ever wanted to be in action movie, try this one out.
Broken Age: This one is quite enjoyable adventure game.
System Shock: I have only played the original. It's basically sci-fi FPS RPG from time when good conventions where still in bit of a flux. The enhanced edition in the bundle should fix lot of the issues.
Hexologic: Enjoyable puzzle game. Even more so if you're not totally allergic to math.

Quoting: TuxeeSo we have a bundle dedicated to charity and the "discussion" starts with bashing Humble Bundle and people feeling compelled to tell, why they are not donating.
Interesting.
There are other ways to donate, so being critical about Humble Bundle doesn't mean not donating at all. itch.io ended their bundle yesterday, but as always, charities accept also direct donations if you actually want to donate instead of essentially buying games (Humble Bundle being the party that is actually donating).

Quoting: F.Ultra
Quoting: soulsourceI still haven't finished the first one... Might be fun on the Deck though.
The last level on the first game is a real pain, many rage quits on that one.
I didn't even get that far. Before that there's tower you have to climb. I kept falling again and again and haven't resumed the game since.

Before that there are several memorable levels, so not all bad.

While discussion has sidetracked to discussing meaning of words, I would still like to add few things, even if I'm bit late to the party.

I wouldn't worry too much about that people getting dumber. It's just that more varied types of people are able to computers (including even Linux), which shouldn't be a bad thing. Those that are already somewhat technical will discover the command line eventually. Google has tons of guides that are easy to stumble upon accidentally.

As Liam said, it's all about the audience. I do recommend command line at least indirectly at work, but there assumption is that audience is more technical than average person. Command line is great for people are aspiring to learn more, especially if they are planning to work with IT infrastructure.

There will still be room for Linux From Scratch and things like that. After all, with Linux you can fork it if you don't like the direction things are going.

Quoting: Purple Library GuyYeah, every time I play an adventure game I conclude that I really suck at the puzzles. Only one I've tried in long ages is Grim Fandango (remastered) and I didn't finish it even though I rather liked the characters and general setup.
I played it through when the remastered version came out. I might have the original still somewhere.

I think I must have looked at playthrough at least once when I originally played the game. There was one puzzle that was based on movement that I couldn't figure out as that wasn't a thing in adventure games before Grim Fandango.

Problem with looking at playtroughs is that once you start doing that, it's hard to stop. Some more modern games at least have integrated hint systems where the first clue is bit cryptic, so you still have think little bit.
