Valve continue their usual polishing of the Steam Client, with the latest stable update including some fixes for Steam Play. That's not all of course, there's quite a bit to this update.
They've adjusted the new Steam Chat system, so now you can test your microphone in the Friends Voice settings dialog, a mute on/off toggle hot-key support for when using open microphone mode, it shouldn't try to open the friends and chat system if you're in offline mode and some bug fixes.
Steam Link gained the ability to do co-op by streaming to multiple devices and the ability to use an Android phone as a touch controller. There's also various Big Picture fixes and plenty of fixes for Steam Input too, Steam Input also had a Linux-specific fix when using Steam Input for generic gamepads.
Specifically for Linux, they fixed these troublesome issues:
- Fixed a Steam Cloud save issue with DOOM (2016) preventing specific files from getting properly saved
- Fixed install scripts for Steam Play games sometimes not properly running after using Big Picture mode
- Fixed missing DLC for some Steam Play games
Additionally, Valve have added support for Vietnamese and Latin American Spanish language support for Steam

Also, using an android phone as a touch controller - does that mean that the phone then appears basically as a touchpad to the Link/game?
Did anyone try that? When trying betas it might a good idea to backup the savegames with a tool like this.
Haven't tried it myself yet though.

QuoteLatin American Spanish language support for SteamI find that pointless... Few steam games have true Latin American language support (Dishonored 2 and Rise of the Tomb Raider, for example)...

He did play some Doom on Twitch. I wouldn't mind reading written reviews on Proton whitelisted games though.

Quoting: baccilusIs there a steamplay curator on steam itself? I know about SPCR.

But AFAIR they found that a curator cannot recommend more than one thousand games.
