My last survey was in November.

But yes: Selection is random. And since Linux users still make a small perecentage of Steam users it can make a huge difference when the randomizer selects fewwer Linux gamers.

That’s a great initiative.
I haven’t bought games from big publishers as EA or Ubi for years because of this issue.

I want to add OpenTTD and Battle for Polytopia to the list.
OpenTTD is a free as free can be transport simulation. You have to get used to the controls, but I had some fun with it on my android tablet. Although I prefer to play it on PC.
Battle for Polytopia is a Civilization style game with awesome Voxel graphic for mobile devices. One game in standard mode lasts about an hour. It is free2play in a way that you get the game and the first 3 civilizations for free and can buy additional ones for a small fee. Offline playing is possible and I’ve never seen any ads in it.

Oh, and of course try Gwent.
This is a CCG in the world of The Witcher - known from the books, the games and of course the Netflix series too.
It’s free to play, and very generous to free players. No ads, no pay2win, and you gain ressources to craft your cards very fast.
If you want to see some gameplay: I am streaming it every wednesday on Twitch.

Depends.
…from what games you want to play, which hardware are you using, and so on.
I built up a new pc last november, mostly for gaming. So nobara was a great choice and all my games are running fine on it. Including Baldurs Gate3, Cyberpunk 2077, Satisfactory and Everspace2.
If you are not into buying the top-notch games on day one, you may look into other distros too. Nobara is grear, but I had some issues with my display setup (2 monitors with different rosolution) that may not have happened with mint or another more stable distro

So it will be a purchase on their website.

I was a day one buyer of World of Goo back in… 2009?
And of course I want to play the sequel too. Glad I don’t have to use Some horrible web store, although I had preferred to have a choice where to buy.

Time for Star Wars season.

Yay!
I will check out Paradox’ Millenia as well as Homeworld 3

Yeah, I don’t have a solution for this neither.

My suggestion with creating a start script for each user would require to install a more traditional distro.

you have two problems here:

• save and config files of linux native games. They will usually create a directory somewhere in your home directory - usually under .var or .config
• and then the save and config files for wine enabled games. They are saved in the steamapps/compatdata directory tree together with all the (windows) files wine needs to run the program. One folder for each game.
  you would need a separate compatdata structure for every steam account to keep the saves separated.
  A possible solution would be to create a start script for every steam user that links the respective folder to compatdata, and then starts steam with the correct credentials.
  You may need to separate other folders too, although I am not sure which those may be. Steam itself can do several users, since it’s based on the same code as on Windows. So you may just test with swapping the compatdata folder and check what it’s doing.

A funny thing: Proton/wine seems to have a mechanic to provide a username. Because on my games installed by Heroic Launcher i find the windows Profile folder (in the Heroic prefixes folder which is equal to steams compatdata) under “c:\Users[Linuxusername]” while in the steam compatdata the folder is just named “c:\Users\user”
I found that out because I recently copied my saves files from some games that are not cloud- saved to their folders.
but I haven’t seen a setting in Steam to use different profile folders in Proton. Which means you will most probably break cloud features when trying to enforce this by start parameters.

Yep.
Same for me.
I simply show what´s doing well on Linux, and have fun with that games on my favourite platform. Since most of my favorite games run out of the box I can`t even show how to get them running.

Last games I was streaming were Gwent (the Steam version), Satisfactory and Pioneers of Pagonia.
Tomorrow I want to do a retro special and show OpenTTD.

If you want to avoid the hassle that it takes to set up a Microsoft account you may try Minetest instead of Minecraft.
It’s an free and Open Source reimplementation that needs no Java, and the game mode “Mineclone” is very close to the original.

Regardings RTS I can recommend Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance

I you want to try out a business simulation you may look at OpenTTD which is free (and free of ads) over Steam.

And don’t forget Among Us.

Well.
No one is even using Netflix’ games.
Thay just make sure it will stay so.

Great words: “Enjoy these games”

I did the mistake to back this project on Kickstarter. So I can tell you it’s not a great loss.

Wasn’t this the case with any other Rockstar game before?

I played the Hobbit and Ninjago the Movie together with my kids Both are very cool.
My kids play Lego City on the switch, and have much fun with too.

Well,
especially if he has additional health issues he should go for his vaccine. Of course it’s not a guarantee, but it lowers the risk for a serious illness significantly.

And it’s still not an excuse to stay away from a courtroom.

Thanks mate. I love you too :)

That’s funny how they spell “moral rot”.

Maybe because they inteded to launch later?

Just vaccine and all be good.
