Epic Games to pay $520 million for privacy violations and unwanted charges

Epic Fines.
I'm somehow less frustrated they still don't officially support linux. I'm not naïve though, it's not just them, bad practices can be anywhere in this industry, but Tim is as brilliant as he can be a piece of shite.

VRChat adds Easy Anti-Cheat, community not happy but Linux and Steam Deck work fine

I've seen a few testimonies, it appeared most public lobbies were just unplayable because of grieffers who just crashed other clients (likely with modified clients) but this allowed people to make security mods which prevented this kind of stuff. Overall it seems VRChat just killed the mods (and the modding community), let's see if at least this is worth it I guess.
At least it still works on Linux, yay.

Unreal Engine 5 editor quietly gets a proper Linux version

It only took 8 years...
I don't know if I get this blog post confused with another one but I quite remember another one of that type stating that QoL improvements on Linux would be a priority circa 2017...
Yet, nothing happened and still no linux native epic launcher in 2022.

I thought one of the biggest pros of the engine was the asset and plugin marketplace that integrates well within the launcher, that and the project+version manager. I guess it's still too early for us penguins, I'll stick to godot, Tim already broke my heart once.

Just wait for your car to go haywire on a GPU hang/crash.

I get it your passengers want a pastime cause your a boring driver but just get a steam deck ?
Not to mention transportation sickness... Anyone ever tried playing gameboy back in the days ?

I'm all for linux, steam and godot but on a tesla there's just so many sorts of wrong. But who knows, maybe this gonna be the killer app.

Missed your Steam Deck email? Valve confirms a grace period to still get one

Do we have a rough idea of how many were sold ?

Linux user share on Steam hits second highest percentage in years
3 May 2022 at 1:08 pm UTC

I know market share is a meaningful information but has anyone been keeping tab on absolute linux user number estimates ?

Because Steam userbase is constantly growing so a market share growth within a absolute numbers growth is kinda cool actually.
But I do keep in mind "being this or that OS user" does not necessarily mean "there have been sales for this or that OS" or "people equally play that amount of time regardless of their system".
I mean there are tons of statistical biases which prevents us to ultimately declare whether Linux is doing well or not but with some hindsight it's looking good.
