Valve released a new update to the Steam Client Beta for Steam Deck and Desktop, with some Steam Input changes and some improvements for Linux too. It's the same across Desktop / Deck since it's a Steam Client update.

FYI - the owner of this site, gamingonlinux, was a mod on the [email protected] community until they were caught abusing their moderator powers. Then they deleted their account and complained on mastodon that it's stupid design that mod logs are public. [Screenshot]

Instead, here's a link to the official post https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1675200/view/4522268823004994079

Transparency? Disgusting. I should be free to abuse my powers without peasants knowing, it's my god given right!

Wow this is honestly disappointing to see. Been reading his stuff for a while, guess I'll have to look elsewhere for Linux gaming news.

Unsurprising from Liam, he's and insufferable arse.

~~How did he get ousted~~? He setup the Lemmy community as far as I was aware?

Looks like he just quit

He may be insufferable, but imo he does do good journalism

Unfortunately there's not a lot of choice when it comes to Linux games journalism.

He does, and gaming on linux is an excellent resource we are fortunate to have. OTOH, GFY has now borne a grudge over this for months and makes a point of posting about it at every opportunity.

This link does not even generate any ad revenue (unless I cannot figure out how to turn off my ad blocking). It's so petty.

Lol? How is having the mod log publica bad thing? Everyone can see what shit and good a mod does in any given Community. That's a win in my book.

Where can we read the actual details of the abuse?
