Would it be an idea to include an option if users are having a VR headset, and if so which one?

edit: I don't know if Oculus or Windows Mixed Reality HMDs are working with Steam VR on Linux at all.

Rise of the Tomb Raider announced for Linux, port from Feral Interactive

Yeah! Awesomesauce @Feral!

Quoting: nattydreadI wonder if it will have the VR level?
I would be interested in that too, as I've seen the VR support of Rise of the Tomb Rider on the steam store. Vulkan should be a good base for VR support. How cool would that be, if that gets also ported?

Looks like the Linux market share on Steam went up in January

Yeah, and I was able to contribute to the Linux counter this month \o/
The survey on Linux is not a myth :->
I even attached my HTC Vive before completing the survey, so that was also taken into account ^^

Sci-fi narrative exploration game 'Event[0]' now has a rough Linux beta

If you are lucky, you can complete the game without issues. Of course after the first start, where you have to adjust resolution and language.
I ran into a rare not platform specific bug, where the ingame lighting was overblooming. But after a restart it was gone.
The game itself is great, graphics style reminded me a bit of the lo-fi sci-fi of Alien (the movie) or Alien: Isolation.
Interacting with a computer in a pretty sophisticated way via terminal is pretty cool. Depending on what you come up with, you can get pretty cool answers ;)

And yeah, it's can be completed in just a few hours, but there is more to discover. E.g. there are several endings.

Looks like the sci-fi narrative exploration game Event[0] may still be coming to Linux

As it wasn't mentioned so far, a public beta is available and already working pretty well.
There are some issues to be ironed out, but it's looking pretty good already.

Yeah, QuipLash was the game I've been waiting for! Cool!

Microsoft is rumoured to be looking to buy Valve, EA and others
30 Jan 2018 at 8:43 pm UTC

Gabe Newell left Microsoft... why should he go back there, or sell the company he built from ground up back to them?

Microsoft might want to buy Valve, that rumor could actually be true, but I hope they will never be able to do so. Otherwise... rip Linux gaming. Microsoft is struggling on the gaming sector, as the PS4 outran the XBox one... so yeah, as they did before when they couldn't do something on their own: buy others who can. From a business perspective totally fine.

And everything needs competition. So it's not even good that the PS4 is doing so much better than the XBox line. But as a Linux PC gamer, it doesn't really bother me what happens on the console sector. Though it probably has some side effects to PC gaming in general.

So let's hope Valve stays autarkic, as we need Linux gaming as a competitor to Windows gaming... and Linux gaming still has quite a way to go.

I'm confused by your post. Where are you getting "95.5% Windows" from...?

I still don't see it. They don't quote operating systems at all in that picture. Maybe they changed it.
It's still the same, but you need to scroll down a bit, as it's a long picture.
Here is the part where they share the platform percentages:



These are the same numbers mentioned in the article for OS X and Linux.
