Woohoo, Feral stays awesome! Even though proton is probably causing them headaches. But as we know, Feral doesn't mind buying the game now, even if the native Linux version hasn't arrived yet but is announced. Cool stuff 8)

A pity... the Steam Link is so much better than any app... our Samsung TV cannot run the app, so I would have to use an android device, as the iOS app is still not released and blocked by apple. Also attaching wired controllers (I still have my Xbox 360 and some clones) is going to be tricky then.

But well, I guess Valve tried to sell out their stock, when they gave the Steam Link almost for free in the former sales, as it didn't sell well before.

Quoting: Nanobang2018: Still no broadcasting?

Yeah, the Linux Steam client itself still cannot broadcast to the internet. But there is a workaround: You can use the Store Broadcast Beta [External Link]. Join this group, generate a RTMP token, and use this as well as the nearest steam rmtp server as details for your streaming software, e.g. obs. More details on https://steamcommunity.com/broadcast/upload [External Link]

If you then go live with obs, and play a steam game from within the steam client, it will show up on your profile.
I read about this the first time on the restream.io blog: https://support.restream.io/streaming-services/platform-setup/how-to-stream-games-to-steam [External Link]

And it's working pretty well. Sure, it's not the easy "right-click-on-a-buddy-and-watch"-thing, but still better than nothing.

For Transform Feedback support from DXVK you need the 396.54.09 Vulkan Beta Driver on NVIDIA

Is there a benefit going with the 410 series drivers?

Meh, I just recently started playing it with my girlfriend... cross platform play was working pretty well :><:
So... let's speak up against that and be loud as usual. Then the devs might reconsider.

edit: I hate do think about it... but... does it work good enough in proton?

Very human. And I appreciate this move of the dev.

A while ago I read about a tool to backup your Steam savegames: https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2018/02/steam-linux-backup-tool-slsk [External Link]
Did anyone try that? When trying betas it might a good idea to backup the savegames with a tool like this.
Haven't tried it myself yet though.

Quoting: ArdjeWell, some people never ever get a survey in their life. I think I am going to be that one.
But then again, I have lots of history with different sites having problems with my account.
I am that special snowflake, the exception, to stress the validity of the general rule.

So, I am the other special snowflake, which got the survey... 6 times or so two months ago, on each device, and each "OS" (Linux, dualbooted Windows and wine).
Well, it's still a hardware survey (ofc no hardware works without any kind of software), so I'm okay to get it on each device. Will be interesting, if I'll get it now in a year again, or sooner.

There is definitely an impact on the Linux market share since Proton. I just hope this is not a statistical anomaly, as new Steam client installations have a pretty high probability to see the survey. So this could mean, lots of people are trying Steam on Linux now, and test if their games work with Proton... and maybe don't stick with Linux the month after. But from how I understand how the survey works, those people won't be counted the month after it again, as the survey should occur only once a year. Time will tell.

Nevertheless, it's nice to see tweets [External Link] like this:

@puppygames
Linux is now twice as big a platform for us as MacOS is (on Steam, anyway)

It feels so good to know that Valve is really behind their commitment, to make Linux the gaming platform of the future and seeing that it is slowly but steadily becoming true.
