I don't like this new design I see on the images. It looks like Windows 10 Start menu. I don't like this motley collection of rectangles. I don't want to know "what's new", I either play these updated games already or don't intend to. I don't want to see my recent games, I can remember what I am playing. I don't want to see recent friend activity; if I do, there is a dedicated page for that. I can't stand annoying animation and tons of CPU-consuming javascripts.
What I do like is the current Steam client design. I choose a game, I see the 'install/play' button for it, I can see how much time I have spent on it and when did I launch it the last time. I can see achievements, visit discussions or read guides. That's what I need.

Don't also forget, it's Valve, their new software features are always incredibly glitchy. Since they updated Friends/Chat, every day I encounter bugs like pop-up friends list at launch with random position on my display and random size, tilted content of chat windows, errors when I upload images, frequent disconnections from Steam servers, time format ignoring my system settings and always showing as stupid mm/dd/yyyy, etc, etc. And that's only the chat, I'm afraid to imagine what to expect after the whole Steam client gets updated.

Yesterday I tried to run a DOS game with Wine. It turns out that it launchs DOS games in DOSBox. So, does using DOSBox count as using Wine?

Talking about DOSBox, is it possible to get aspect ratio for pixels (not for the whole window/screen) like it should be? They weren't square.

Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoI played the DEMO and I didn't see anything controversial in the game...

SJWs can find controversy in a brick wall.

It's cheaper on GOG than on Steam.

Quoting: chancho_zombieAnyone knows if Arkham Knight works with proton GE? it should work, because with wine staging that game works for me, but I tried it and it doesn't. I must be missing something. dotnet40, fails to install must be that.

I tried, it didn't work too.

When I extracted it to ~/.steam/steam/compatibilitytools.d, nothing happened. But Steam found this Proton when I moved it to ~/.steam/compatibilitytools.d

Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoI remember they promised more languages.

They still do on the GOG page. Probably they are going to add that later as well as Steam achievements, etc.

Quoting: g000hI feel like commenting that there are lots of other Studios (mainly AAA) which haven't made the effort to release a Linux game at all (or very rarely). And yet, thanks to Proton and WINE, plenty of Linux gamers are buying from those Studios and helping to line their pockets. It would seem appropriate to detest those companies *more*.

Those studios just don't care about Linux. Garry Newman hates Linux and Linux gamers. The former is better, obviously.
