My Steam window keeps popping up in fullscreen and stealing focus while I'm playing games. It seems to happen whether or not I disable the overlay.

Can anyone tell me why, and how to make it never happen again? Because it makes playing games basically impossible. It's happening across multiple games. No errors are being thrown, my windo just keeps popping up. I could try Big Picture Mode, but on my desktop computer that's less than ideal.

@proprietedusage Thank you!

I was not prompted during this #Steam install, but I remember enabling "allow Windows games to install on Windows" in the past. Maybe that is a once-per-account setting.

This time, Steam defaulted to showing everything, and then, when I pressed a (new to me) Penguin icon, it hid 3 of my ~600 games.

Based on the progress I've seen on my SteamDeck, I think that the vast majority of my game catalog is either Linux native or Windows but around "gold" level in ProtonDB.

I imagine some of what is see is because I shop differently since getting a SteamDeck. I also think some of it is just because a crazy number of game developers have achieved "SteamDeck Verified" in the last few years.

Now for the moment of truth. How many #Steam games can I play on #LinuxMint?

My game collection has 695 games. (I frequently shop indie game sales.)

When I click "Show only Games that run on Linux", the total count of displayed games drops by 3.

It seems that I have 3 games that will not run on my Linux Mint PC.

It feels a bit cruel. I separated a little billy goat from his mother and took him home. His mum and her sister appear to have some sort of agreement, because the dad is apparently courting both in their little enclosure. Here's hoping for a little girl soon, a playmate for my kid-napped (!) goat.

The penned sow is taking forever to drop her litter, but everything is ready for when it happens.

I've been playing Vintage Story on and off for a little less than a year, starting new worlds often.
In my current PT, which I intend to stick with, I've survived my first whole winter without fuss, got two pens with chickens and bunnies respectively, and a small one a short walk off, with a breeding pair of pigs.
Things look good (except my house), but I can't for the life of me find tin.

I never got into Minecraft much but this game is so much fun.

Ohaa - grad gesehen: Bei #gog gibts derzeit #BaldursGate & #BaldursGate2 für wenig Geld (nur noch bis 16.05.25!)
Frage an die #gaming_on_linux Bubble:
Ich hab Linux Mint 22.1 Cinnamon & nutze den #heroicgameslauncher
Krieg ich die beiden Spiele da ohne größeres Gehuddel zum Laufen? (Hab ein Drakensang-Trauma 😉)
Beide Spiele sollten ja auch so unter Linux laufen, aber da steh ich grad komplett aufm Schlauch: Wie wähl ich bei gog denn aus, welche Version ich kaufen will?!
🧡lichen Dank! Gerne 🔄
