Ubuntu keeps sliding down despite being a pretty solid OS lately. I bet you it's the Snap saga that's causing it.

Picked it up for Dredge and Diplomacy Is Not An Option, maybe even the Alien game (it's platinum in ProtonDB even though it's unsupported on Deck).

Seems like a good month to me! Now to gripe about my backlog...

I can see the "March" text in your picture, so i assume it's close to menus. But NONE of the menus "Your Store" "New & Noteworthy" "Categories" "Points Shop" "News" and "Labs" does include "Linux only".

So where is it?

Ok, i see you managed to got to those numbers. HOW exactly?

You click on the dropdown menu to pick "Linux only" exactly as I said, and exactly as I showed you a picture of.

Ok, i see you managed to got to those numbers. HOW exactly? - When going to https://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey/?platform=combined HOW can i make for example that Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS 64 bit 4.18% +4.18% APPEAR?

What should one click there? When i click OS version and look Linux: there is only that "Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS 64 bit 0.10% +0.10%" and so on.

@dziadulewicz You're looking at the totals rather than the Linux-specific stats from the dropdown menu.

Seems confusing. From where for example does this come from: Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS 64 bit 4.18% +4.18%

The Steam link provided only shows: Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS 64 bit 0.10% +0.10%

This +4.18 for Ubuntu (or any other in that list) also does not appear on the dedicated Steam Tracker page, or am i blind nor can't use it?

In any case, why not provide additional links to this info?

When I was in South Africa, you'd start a download, and go to bed. Then be disappointed as one forgot to block the system from going to sleep.
When moving to the UK the cheapest broadband solution was only a literal 60× faster (and a quarter the price) than what I had, I started wasting time waiting for games to download.

Such is life :shrug:

Edit: I once went to a friends job which was at a datacentre, plugged my notebook in, and was astounded that I got a full 100mbit download speed!
Life was simpler back then, I expected less from everything.

Or rather that they don't see the need to be too accurate. You see there is no public shareholders demanding they somehow make every cent possible, so it's OK to potentially miss an opportunity to get every cent of value in spite of your customers.

They've done this once before with Xbox announcement a few years ago. Don't get your hopes up.


Team Cherry says they don't believe in saying much about the game/doing promo (other than a full-length trailer right when they started dev). Expect the next news to be a stealth drop.


Love to see the memes have carried over to the Linux community. We cope together.

I picked this one up immediately. Love me some point & clicks. They've got a demo up, but anyone that likes point & clicks will probably like both this and Lamplight City.

So, 2025 in bug years. But what is that in human years?

as a person with very slow internet (yay merica) I like all the updates to the downloads/install/update ui because I spend so much time staring at that.

So will this be a timed exclusive switch2 game? 2025 date is confusing because steam still has no date at all and just says "Planned Release Date: To be announced"

also, heavily skeptical of anything team cherry says. what's the vegas odds on a delay to 2026 then 2027?

Valve being abysmal in conducting proper survey statistics makes me hopeful they aren't (or at least aren't capable of) data mining our systems.

FWIW, this month is probably an undercount of China, just like we've historically had the big spikes from overcounting China. The trend, and Valve's own aggregate data, has English and Simplified Chinese about equal, so either one coming up significantly higher than the other shows noise in the data collection.

Because Ubuntu waits a year before updating things sometimes. You will need to bypass their repo system and go straight to the PPA Launchpad release.

Howto port a game to Linux: Basically stub out the Graphics Code. Then work on Keyboard/Mouse/Gamepads/Joysticks etc where used. Then replace Audio Code/Network Code. Once this is all completed/tested. Attack the Graphics stack.

I just finished Avowed on my desktop (wouldn't play a ue5 game on the deck lol) but I wonder what rendering issues they are talking about.

As with almost anything Obsidian does, I absolutely LOVED the game. The ending was sooooooo wonderful ... I cannot say how much I enjoyed the entire game from start to finish.

Right ... gonna stop now before I make myself sick. (lol)

poe2 was my fav crpg of the past decade or so, and now ... god damnit ... avowed is my fav fps rpg of the past decade or so. After the catastrophe that bg3's story/writing/ending was, it felt SO GOOD to play something with good writing. And this had it in droves. The world of Eora is just SO FASCINATING. And this game expands on that world so well.
