Quoting: Liam DaweSince browsers can run a lot of games nowadays, how do people feel about a primary browser question?

Seems like you would get better data from Google Analytics or crunching your httpd logs?

Whispers of a Machine from the same developer was also nicely done. Both games worked perfectly with Proton.

Quoting: sarmadThe sad thing is that Gnome was the only DE with vertical layout, so there is no alternative to jump to that I know of. Let's hope someone forks it.

No need for a fork when extensions can change such things; here's one possibility for you:

Quoting: fearnflavioYeah, everything you said is being fixed on the next version that is almost done.

Great! A question about the integrated legendary - are you making customizations to it compared to upstream? If not, perhaps you would consider having it as a dependency again, at least for packaged versions (i.e. RPM)? It's in the Fedora updates repo.

Hadn't heard of this one, and the Steam page doesn't indicate Linux support. Have they promised it somewhere?

Quoting: CorbenNice! When I asked about Linux support on twitter in November, it wasn't 100%.

Yep, glad to see they are comitting to it at last.

Quoting: Phlebiacit never prompts for anything at all and just shows a blank window.
Yeah, I'm aware of this bug and this new version fixed it:

Yep, that's fixed now! Looking forward to UI improvements... I decided to install "A Short Hike" as a test, and saw it still uses xterm for that. Once it finished the installation, I had to close the window manually, and the app window didn't refresh. But when I went back to the library, it recognized it was installed, and clicking it showed the Play/Uninstall buttons.

Search and filter (at least toggle between installed/all) options for the library are also in order, I would think.

When installing, remember the last install location (and maybe have an option to not bother asking all the time).

If you click on your username, it shows you a big LOGOUT button, but no Cancel or Back to Library (have to restart if I don't want to log out, I guess?). Oh, clicking on the username goes back - not very intuitive.
