With the last stable release, 535.113.01, eglinfo core-dumped on me on Fedora 37. It broke ksysstats (used by plasma-systemmonitor) so I backed down to 535.104.05.

I can endorse Jim Whitehurst. He was an amazing CEO at Red Hat.

I could never get past the authentication running it in wine. I don't know if was SAML, OpenID or something else, but it was redirecting browser-based auth the simply blew up inside of wine.

Quoting: dpanterLike this comment if you didn't know Humble had a launcher application.

Companies asking "do we really want to do this?" when it comes to being bought? Absolutely yes. Those in charge walk away with a ton of money and the rest, well, that's up to them. I think even well-meaning owners fall into this trap. When they are no longer in charge, they are no longer in charge and can't protect their former staff.

Apparently I opened my account almost exactly 4 months after introduction. I have the 19 year badge.
I remember the frequent struggle keeping Steam working in Cedega. Finding and installing the Tahoma font for wine. The early days were really quite rough. I still have my Orange Box around here somewhere. My first games were imported from that.
I remember the excitement when I was included in the Linux beta (sorry work, I *cough* *cough* am not feeling well today).
I remember when I had more games on CD/DVD/direct download than on Steam. I still have shelves full of them but they are dwarfed by Steam keys now. It's really too much. I've never even launched some of them (blames Humble Bundle).

The system monitoring was broken with a NVIDIA driver update that added and re-ordered columns in nvidia-smi output. The number and order was hardcoded in ksysguard so since things didn't line up it was skipped altogether. The fix in 5.27.8 was to make it identify the columns dynamically so it shouldn't break again.
I have my own hacky patch against 5.27.6 that corrects the ordering. Backporting the upstream fix was too hairy.

That is quite a good deal for a fun game. I particularly enjoyed the Far Harbor DLC. The Creation Club interface available in Steam is a rather nice way to find and install mods but if you've used Nexus before I doubt anyone would have too many problems with mods.

I donated $2 for the "free" version to reward the trippy way the sand flows. It's a pretty fun game and I'm terrible enough at it that it's a quick thing to do in between other stuff. I guess I'll wishlist the Steam version too though I doubt I'd ever get what is called a "high" score :-)

Same here. DOSbox games wouldn't launch but do now. I had to start them from the shell, which was honestly straightforward, but that is the point of the UI.

What a milestone. This site is just amazing, with multiple articles written nearly every day.I remember the dark days (pre-GOL) where one was lucky to find anything Linux gaming-related. This in addition to the YT channel. Simply marvelous.
