PSA - If your Steam Deck or Steam on Linux has started failing to download or launch Proton games, you may have caught a bad config from Valve's servers.

We believe the problem is fixed now, but you need to delete a cache file locally (`~/.steam/steam/userdata/<steamid>/config/compat.vdf` where <steamid> is your id).

See https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/10846 for details.

CS2 Linux is .. OUT!

Like Dota 2 a few months back, this release is using the 'sniper' linux runtime.

TIL there's an idtech.space #mastodon server.

#flatpak end user experience is pretty solid overall, but the experience as a dev wanting to bring an app to it is rather bare.

Very minimalistic documentation, poor support for dev and debug workflows.

If the goal is to get more folks contributing packages, it would need a solution that compares favorably with toolbox/distrobox.
