I'm now a true convert after using a Vertical Mouse
4 Aug 2021 at 12:19 pm UTC Likes: 1

I am using a different CSL vertical mouse for a couple of years now and wouldn't go back to a traditional one. Only criticism I have is that the back and forth buttons are not programmable. However programmable buttons more often than not have no Linux driver to actually program them so maybe that is a good thing I guess.
The driver Situation is still the reason I have not settled for a ergonomical Keyboard yet. ergonomical keyboards need to be easily programmable and the only one i found with (open source) Linux drivers are ones to build yourself and the Dygma Raise.

Quoting: LinuxwarperIs there a single game on Stadia, that can be played locally, that supports Linux? No (?).
Grid and Metro: Exodus are likely to get Linux support on the Steam version. Other Games had Linux support before, like the Serious Sam Games or the Tomb Raider Games.

Legendary is an in-development community-made open source version of the Epic Games Store

Quoting: PatolaSteamCMD [External Link] which is a Valve project itself, and also the Linux game managers like Lutris and Gamehub can recognize and manage steam entries. What exactly are you looking for?
Quoting: legluondunetI'm curious, Steam client is highly configurable and it can even manage more than Steam games.
So what a new Steam client will be more useful for?
Steam is rather annoying with its pop-up ads at startup. Also all the tracking of playtime and sharing it with people from my friendslist by default is bad. I am aware you can launch Steam in offline mode and disable notifications and overlays and sharing information, my point is really that the defaults are bad. And any software that needs to be relaunched into an offline mode when the connection to the internet is lost is designed badly in my opinion. Also if I could use an open source program instead of steam I would prefer that. And this would probably integrate better designwise wit modern desktop environments by using gtk or QT. And instead of updating at startup a properly packaged open source client could update when I update my system.
Lutris is great as a launcher but for updates and whatnot you still need Steam.

Just out of curiosity is there any such project for launching and managing steam games, as this would be much more useful for me personally?
