Searching a game I can play with my kids on Linux
I remember using Athenaeum. It has a ton of FOSS games and manages them for you. It's particularly good at OpenArena and FreeDOOM.
- Add KeeperRL to Athenaeum?
-
Open Source Steam Client?
Maybe this? https://gitlab.com/librebob/athenaeum
-
Any sane Playnite alternative on Linux?
Athenaeum
- Athenaeum v2.3 is out, with big new features including a server browser!
-
Widelands is a free, open source real-time strategy game with singleplayer campaigns and a multiplayer mode. The game was inspired by Settlers II but has significantly more variety and depth to it. Works on Linux, macOS and other operating systems.
If you like libre games we're developing a steam-like platform just for them. Come check it out https://gitlab.com/librebob/athenaeum
- Athenaeum, the libre steam alternative is back with a version 2.0!

- Steam Download Speed Slow on Linux Compared to Windows 10/11
-
Very slow download speeds in Linux but normal in Windows..
Anyone else noticing this? I don't believe I'm going insane. For a while now my download speeds, regardless of chosen server, are always slower in the Linux client compared to in Windows. Is the only appropriate place to post about this here -> https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Steam-for-Linux ? Would be great to know that I'm not the only one being affected.
- Steam ignores the "Later" button on client updates

steam can't load
https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues Its seems to be a problem happening only to Nvidia GPUs. Not only Mint but many other distros A temporary solution is to open Steam from the Terminal using "steam -vgui"
- Problems Downloading Steam
-
Stable update today - Please read the forum post
I just spent a few hours working on that problem that Steam takes very long to appear. I did not have xdg-desktop-portal-gnome installed, and Steam is the only application that has that problem, so it's not the one from the update forum post. What my (and probably your) problem is, is this one: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/9780. Some bug where CEF gets stuck in a loop. When I executed steam --reset an error about steamwebhelper and glibc appeared like 50 times, each taking a few seconds.
