Quoting: ShmerlAnyway, do we need to care about Teams? Just another proprietary, non federated, walled garden IM service, that's not solving but proliferating the problem of IM fragmentation. Matrix is much better approach.

For personal use no, we don't. For a B2B/Corporate collaboration scenario where all the employees are using Microsoft products as a standard de facto, yes we do.

Quoting: GuestDon't underestimate how big a deal this is for enterprise, a very important market as far as the desktop is concerned. Between this and Citrix I am almost at a point where I could use my linux PC for work given how many of our tools are online.

Completely agree. The real point that a few people have missed is that there will always be a better option for chats, calls, collaboration and office suite with native Linux apps if we are considering just the personal use. The Linux support for Microsoft Teams is pretty much designed for those B2B or Corporate scenarios where Linux users can chat, share the screen and collaborate on documents with Windows users.

My case is similar: when I'm travelling with my personal Linux laptop I usually connect to my Company's Windows Terminal Desktop. I could probably find Teams for Linux a good solution for not logging at all on the WTD in the first place.

Quoting: da_habakukfor gaming sometimes i wonder if it wouldnt be better to be more bleeding edge with archlinux etc..
my mesa is still on 1.8.

They weren't for me. Debian Buster has been the best solution ever for my computer. I wouldn't recommend to go for the Testing repository now, as the current Stable branch is quite recent. Probably in the next year.

The only change that I have performed is to manually download and install the proprietary NVidia GPU driver, but it is an activity with negligible effort.
In case I need an updated version of Wine or DXVK, I'll let Lutris download and deploy it in the $HOME/.local directory, and use it specifically for that game.

And (a little OT) I would say that defeating Gyoubu Oniwa yesterday night was actually an awesome satisfaction:

I read about the development story in Jason Schreier's book Blood, Sweat, and Pixels, and it left me very impressed for all the effort made by Eric Barone in all the years before the game release.

Quoting: ThormackThe new Steam officially supported distro just launched.
Awesome.

(Just a speculation, for now...)

I've had a chance for testing it and can confirm: it's the cleanest and best performing distro for gaming I've ever tried.

Quoting: BrisseStarted Steam, then restarted once for 3.16-7 to show up. Selected 3.16-7.
Looks like the setting only applies on non-whitelisted games though.
Whitelisted games seem to use whatever version Valve used when whitelisting it, which makes sense actually because it eliminates the potential for regressions.

Dark Souls II:SotFS - Proton 3.16-7 selected by you for all titles
Dark Souls III - Proton 3.16-4 selected by Valve testing
NieR: Automata - Proton 3.7-8 selected by Valve testing

You can manually force those games remember, which is what I did for Into the Breach and the Steam client clearly said I was on the new version.

What happens if you try to override the predefined version with a custom choice?

$ echo 3.16-7 > .steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/${GAME_ID}/version

Remembering the time when I was young, playing in the NWN Shards and lurking websites such as the NWN Vault... :'(
