Is there some option for filter versions in the site? Like I want to see feedback from the latest version with just mesa drivers, but didn't found any option for that.

Still more Media Foundation APIs implemented.
Does someone knows if this could improve something with wine games?

Valve just released a big Steam Play update with Proton now based on Wine 4.2 & more

Quoting: GuestI downloaded nearly all versions.
Me too, but in the future this might be a problem with a lot of versions. Unless Valve start to remove old releases.

Does someone know, if it's better to have all proton versions installed or just the current? I know that some of the games stuck with a specific version to avoid regression problems, but let's say that I don't have any of then installed, then is there any difference of installing just the newest one or keep a lot of versions?

And let's say that I've installed a game that runs better with an old release of proton, does steam will automatically download and install this old version or do I have to install it manually?

if i had the fortnite money, i would totally do it

here you have metro.... but linux exclusive for 1 year
i brought you pc master race heavy rain.... but linux exclusive for 1 year
you like factorio... here you have it in 3D, called satisfactory.... but linux exclusive for 1 year
i heard you like RDR2, here we go.... but linux exclusive for 1 year

that would be so funny... 95% pc gamers pissed off, hackers start to build windows wrappers, to make it playable on windows
Windows users excited with a new version of "LINE" so they could test what Linux games are working on windows :)

Valve show off their new Steam Library design and a new Events page

Beside me, there's anyone else who think they should also improve the activity tab? I think they could make more "gamer social network like", but that's just my opinion.

Something that I miss in the current interface is a direct option to see the store page of a game in my library. Sometime I want to check the current price for a game I've already bought or if a new content was released, and I have to go to the store page and search manually.

Quoting: dubigrasuSo will there be an "export to Stadia" apart from the already existing Linux
Could be if Stadia follow some standard Linux configuration (probably a heavy modified Debian)

Quoting: EhvisIf this thing takes off, it may very well be the death of DX12.
Or Microsoft porting DirectX to Linux maybe.

While it's uncertain if this will improve something directly to linux games, It certainly will improve the quantity of games developed with Vulkan.

Like I've said in another post, It's better for now to developers to be comfortable to develop games with Vulkan, even if the game doesn't have officially a native linux port. Because more games with Vulkan means better performance with things like wine/proton, until the time where developers will be so used to Vulkan that making a cross platform game is gonna be easier for then.
