Ooh, the problem you refer to in your question appears to match the problem I am having, as noted in the question I just posted a moment ago. I guess no is the answer. It is quite annoying.

Quoting: LanzI wonder if they have fixed the many windows appearing bug that seems to happen on KDE when Steam is minimized to the system tray and the computer is left unattended long enough for the monitor to shut off.

I have been having an issue that seems to persist with the new version. Running Ubuntu 20.04 LTS here on x86_64.
Typically what happens is that after a working day, in which my Linux box's monitor is switched via an HDMI switch to be used with my work laptop, I come back to my Linux desktop and find that something weird has happened to Steam. The weirdness is that the main Steam window vanishes, and I end up with around 15 child windows in a pile on my desktop.
Curiously, this problem doesn't seem to occur under other scenarios, i.e. just leaving the Linux box connected to the monitor over night, etc.
This has been happening now probably for a few months. I did report the issue to Valve, but they simply said it was a known issue (not sure if it only became known because I told them), and all they did was suggest that I tried the beta version, which I did not.
I had hoped that a new version would fix this? Is anyone else affected by this?

Russia might not have any trucks left by the time their calamitous war on Ukraine is over.

Could do with an English translation. I was surprised to learn that the in game character is actually wearing pants when he gets out of bed and actually needs to find his trousers.

"Ground Breaking" terrain deformation is probably the best pun I have heard in while!

Space sandbox game Avorion has a huge 2.0 Beta available now

I haven't played it for a few years. Does it still have stick ships that spin at an incredible angular rate? I guess that mad spinning ships might be realistic for space combat, but they did look a bit silly.
Valve corrects the RAM specs for the Steam Deck, games should run nicely from SD Card

My old EEE 901 netbook used to boot from an SD card. I dabbled with running Tails on it when going abroad.

Quoting: slaapliedjeI have never known a laptop that could boot off an SDCard, but I think it would be a cool feature.
