Is there any interest in switching the Arch/Ubuntu-based groups to a pkg/deb/rpm/portage-based groups? If not, any chance of adding Red Hat-based and Gentoo-based groupsto the existing graphs?

I find the whole 'review bombing is not allowed' thing rediculous. If you've bought the game and are displeased with it, then leaving a negative review is entirely acceptable. If hundreds/thousands of people all do the same, then so be it. Game devs/publishers shouldn't be able to bury their heads in the sand and cry foul just because gamers aren't happy with them.

BattlEye confirms Linux support for Steam Deck, will be opt-in like Easy Anti-Cheat

Clearly Valve have been making waves with the Steam Deck announcement -- big industry players, previously indifferent (at best) towards Linux gaming, are now starting to see the light. Hopefully there will be a large percentage of developers that "opt-in" to the proton support, and those that don't get consigned to the history books as short-sighted naysayers.

Personally I don't give a flying fuck about anticheat, but this is still good news for those who play online multiplayer games.

Minecraft has a proper snapshot up now for Caves & Cliffs: Part II

Gave up on Minecraft a while ago when the official launcher started depending on gtk3 (). However, I've just given ATLauncher a try, and it works even better than the official launcher did. May have to give this new snapshot a try.

Quoting: richipI can't find the menu item on steam to start a dedicated server on Linux.Can someone help?

Make sure you include "tools" in your library listing:

Then search for valheim:


Not installed it myself, but I imagine it "Just Works". If not, you may need to navigate to the download location in a terminal and run a script or binary from there.

EDIT: Enabling tools listing might not be required, it seems the search will include any category of result.

Quoting: g000hI just had a little squint at the spoilers and noticed "Tamed creatures" are in the game. I dislike the idea of taming and using creatures within games (although obviously other people do like that feature).

Wondering how "important" tamed creatures are in the game - Do you have to use them (e.g. Like you cannot get anywhere without dinosaur-taming in ARK) or is it just a nice to have, but not needed, "animal familiar" or similar?
With boars at least, taming them means they don't attack you and can breed with other tamed boars to produce piglets (so long as you feed them carrots). The only purpose for this is, as Ehvis says, is to use them as a food source.

I've never encountered wolves, or lox, but I imagine tamed wolves attack enemies.

QuoteLooking at my own purchase history, looks like Day of Defeat: Source was actually my first purchase on my own account back in 2008. What was yours?

For me, it was Half-Life 1 Anthology (bundle of HL, HL: Blue Shift, HL: Opposing Force, and Team Fortress Classic), in June 2008.
