I hope they fix the Steam Labs experiments to respect your platform settings soon. Last I tried, only Lars Doucet's did, making the rest pretty much useless.

Steam reportedly coming to Chrome OS - Linux gaming across even more devices

Quoting: HoriDoes that mean Steam is gonna come to ARM-based devices? Because that would be awesome

No, probably only the x64 Chromebooks, since none (or at least very few) of the games on Steam have an ARM version anyway.

Obviously, I'd love to buy the LEGO games for Linux, but if I can only pick three:

1) Beyond Good and Evil
2) A Hat in Time
3) Age of Empires II

Looks like a fun game. The only thing I'm a bit skeptical about is that the world is randomized somehow, according to the video.

The Last Cube will bring some awesome-looking brain-teasers to Linux

Looks great! Reminds me a little of Steamroll, which I enjoyed a lot, but which unfortunately doesn't have any secrets to explore, making slightly too linear.

Microsoft Teams is now available on Linux

Quoting: GuestDot.Net needs to be done with Mono on Linux or via Wine (yeah there is Dot.Net core but I never saw it in action in any meaningful way and I assume it only has a subset of all that stuff which is included into Dot.Net since it is called "core"). Which also makes me think of the quoted statement by M$. That Teams for Linux has all the "core" features. Sounds like another Skype for Linux thing to me.

I'm not a .NET developer, so I'm not an authority on the subject, but I know our Microsoft teams are developing most of their applications with .NET Core deployed on Linux these days, so I assume it has most/all of the features that .NET has.

Quoting: GuestAnd what's about Windows Defender ATP coming to Linux? Who the f*ck cares about it on Linux at all? For me it looks like they just doing this to make some uneducated people installing it on their Linux box to see what applications they running and what they are doing on their system.

This is actually a big deal in enterprise; it's just not primarily for Linux desktop users. Any service that supports file upload/download usually has to implement some sort of service for scanning files for viruses, to make sure the recipient on the other end doesn't get infected. There's already ClamAV, which also supports Linux, but more options is a good thing.

Atari VCS enters the final stages of pre-production as it heads towards mass production

Quoting: lucinos
Quoting: fleskYeah, why on earth did they choose Unity over something more lightweight, and with a more liberal license?

If they expect some kind of partnership it would actually make good sense. If they just choosing it because they think this is easier then it is a stupid choice and it is only because they do not know any better. I do not know which case it is, I would bet it is just a stupid choice just because this is what they know.

The article says that Unity has been working closely with them, so I hope that's the case, and that it works out well for them.

Quoting: emphyUnity for the user interface and store :D

Yeah, why on earth did they choose Unity over something more lightweight, and with a more liberal license?

Compulsion Games confirm a Linux version of We Happy Few is coming next year

Not much time left of the year to do it either. :S:

Bake 'n Switch looks like a ridiculously fun couch co-op and PvP game coming to Linux

Looks fun. :) Doesn't look like it will offer online co-op though, but hopefully Remote Play Together is fixed before the release.
