Valve have updated the Beta of Steam Play which fixes VR games, fullscreen improvements and more
8 September 2018 at 5:59 pm UTC

Quoting: spacemonkeyIs it possible to install the Windows version of a game that has a native Linux version? Since the VR should work better I would like to try Everspace. But only the Windows version of Everspace supports VR (the Linux version does not). So, is there a way to install the Windows version and use Steam Play?

Quoting: ageresStalker: Shadow of Chernobyl. Must be I'm the last man on Earth who haven't played it.
If you haven't finished/played it then you'd better play with OGSE mod.
I tried it, and it crashes when I start a new game.
Yes it's hard to install properly. Sadly i don't remember how i fixed this crash...

Quoting: tonRYes, I'd seen severals on extensions.gnome.org. But, I research severals forums especially Ubuntu-related one, sometimes the extension may break the whole OS. I really don't want to take the risk.

Nowadays, I'm value stability. I'd no longer have enough free time to fix my computers like when I was 12-19/20, that's why I use Ubuntu. But, even Ubuntu also sometimes unstable nowadays, I don't know which distros I'll adopt next...
For me Arch is more stable than Ubuntu was when i used it.
edit: also if you need stable DE you can use XFCE.

Quoting: YaumeisterIs there anyway to force Steam to download the Windows version of a game (911 Operator), rather than a broken and now unsupported Linux version?

I tried to do this via SteamCMD, which I managed to force download it, but as soon as I launch the Steam Client, it does an update and download the Linux version.
