This week we have so much to cover. First, a new Valve game was just released. Then announcement of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2 for PC has many gamers excited. We also need to discuss what the SteamVR 2.0 beta has in store and what we may learn from it going forward. A new release candidate for Proton 8 drops with fixes for tons of popular games. We explore what Valve’s doing to improve the Linux desktop and why it’s unique. And finally, we touch on the new and exciting “Gyro to Mouse” option in Steam Input.
