Valve dev clarifies what some of their upcoming and recent Linux work is actually for

Quoting: fagnerln
Quoting: rustybroomhandleI still want to know what the mission is with all of this. Not technically, but from a business perspective.

I get it, Linux customers are paying customers, but Valve have contracted several companies, individuals, fulltime employees, contact with GPU vendors etc. This seems like way more financial and time investment than what our meagre 1-2% is worth.
I don't think that it's something big incoming, this is just a signal to Microsoft that's a bad idea to close Windows to their store. Valve have a lot of money,even if it don't recover the investiment, I don't think that's a problem
and thats the good thing in valve not being a stock corporation but privately owned - they can do things that are "right" in the long run instead of only looking at ROI.

And while i'm not really fond of the kernel work being towards DRM, i guess we live in a reality where many people won't boycott things they don't want. So it kinda is another step towards bringing Linux to the needed marketshare...

bought it way back when, tried it out for a few hours, but it didn't really catch me. Maybe it's time to give it another go :D

Perception puzzler Superliminal comes to Steam in November, along with Linux support

Quoting: rkfg
Quoting: PhiladelphusWish the demo up on Steam wasn't just for Windows. :sad: And that Valve would get around to letting you download Windows demos and running them on Proton! :angry:
The demo works flawlessly on Proton, just click and play really.
hm, i don't see a demo, am i missing something? O_o

KDE releases the Plasma 5.20 desktop - just as beautiful as ever

Quoting: Bladeforce
Quoting: Dorrit
Quoting: TermyI just hope this icon-only task manager crap will not be the only option in the future ^^
I much prefer the classic task manager too.
Change it back to the classic task manager its not difficult. Options is always the way to go
i know, thats why i hope that doesn't change in the future ;)

Quoting: tmtvlI may give kwin another try but I just know it'll still be EWMH compliant and therefore terrible on multiscreen.
what issues do you have on multiscreen?
i use two screens (of different size) and the only issue i have is that freesync doesn't work with that - and thats no kwin issue ^^

Quoting: rustybroomhandleNot sure if it's the compositor or sddm or what, but for some reason games just feel like they run better on KDE. Have not benchmarked and purely going on feels here.
I agree - but only until you try kwin-lowlatency xD

KDE is still my favorite by a long shot. I just hope this icon-only task manager crap will not be the only option in the future ^^

It's a shame you'd have to build your own kernel to get asus/asrock to work...but the project itself is awesome. Even for the folks that just want to turn off the leds ^^

Nice that you get it for free, loved both SUPERHOT and the VR-Spin. Although i must say it is WAY more intense and impressive in VR ^^
