There have indeed been some Linux/SteamOS specific questions. And it looks like none of them got any answers from Valve, if I'm right?
Do they only get attention when they had been upvoted by enough people?
Though it was really interesting to follow, I hoped to get some informations about their plans or progress with Linux/SteamOS.
I remember when Gabe Newell first announced Steam coming to Linux/SteamOS:

It feels a little bit funny coming here and telling you guys that Linux and open source are the future of gaming. It’s sort of like going to Rome and teaching Catholicism to the pope.I wish they would bring this feeling back.

Not only the Beta is planned for all platforms, also already the Alpha:
They replied to me:
They replied to me:
Yep! We're planning to have the Alpha and Beta ready for Windows, Mac, and Linux.Looks like an interesting game, with the corruption of your humanity to amplify your skills. I guess I'll back this one at the tier with Alpha access.

HYPE!!!
Woah, they recently had a offer at a local electronic store to buy the HTC Vive for only 777€.
Didn't grab it, as I wanted to wait for Linux support... you know, until it's not actually released, don't buy it and so on ;)
But now... woah, this is finally something big for Linux again! \o/

For reverting the resolution, after a game didn't set it back, I used so far:
Have to check if this affects tearing, if the corresponding settings are saved in the xorg.conf file.
xrandr --output DP0 --mode 1920x1080Have to check if this affects tearing, if the corresponding settings are saved in the xorg.conf file.

It has also a demo available, which is another bonus most games don't offer these days.
I've recently seen a german interview with one of the devs, and this game definitively has my attention. Going to pick it up sooner or later.
Very nice of Mimimi Productions to have a Linux version up on day 1. Daedalic is quite Linux friendly anyway. They've done everything "right" ;)
Would be interesting to hear about their Linux sales.

+1.2% for Linux ;)
Wow, is Linux really gaining market share? Except for gamers (according to the steam hardware survey) as it seems :->

I'm afraid, now that Microsoft has picked up DirectX again, improved Windows 10 as a gaming platform (with new features probably coming with the next big update), Linux is losing in the long run.
We are mostly late with releases, latest big thing were the Steam Dev Days showing VR on Linux. And everything else was shown on Linux/SteamOS Machines too, that was quite cool and impressive. But Valve isn't showing anything new or upcoming to us. So I'm wondering what do they have in their pipeline, if anything at all... and when.
2016 was a great year for Linux gaming in general, with a lot of big releases. Some of them finally released after being announced a long time ago. But what's coming next? I'm missing big announcements to get hyped for and to look forward to.
There are some kickstarter projects like System Shock or Everspace, but that can't be all. My concern is, publishers and devs might turn their back on us and go for Windows and maybe Mac only again. Even the Feral Radar is pretty empty (except for two upcoming mac only titles) at the moment.
Atm I'm using wine again for a lot of games, like No Man's Sky or Doom. Luckily OpenGL and Vulkan make this possible. But I want more native ports! I'm really afraid of 2017 after 2016 had such a great pace.

They just need to keep spending the resources to keep their in-house Linux expertise in a healthy state.This little word "just" has such a big meaning...

The game I'm really thankful to have on Linux is: Alien: Isolation.
Since I was able to test the first version on gamescom 2014, or even since it was announced, I've been looking forward to a release. And it was so cool that Feral ported it to my favorite OS!
But of course there are other games I'm also thankful to have on Linux ;)
