I hope it’s one of those phenomenas where it takes a long time to bridge one gap but an exponentially shorter time to double or triple that previous gain. Like it takes 32 years to crack 3%, 1 year to break 4% >> 15% in the next few years? A man can hope.
Yep and it seems to line up with the rise of the Steam Deck and all the discussion around how viable gaming on Linux is these days. I think there were/are a LOT of people that only stick with Windows due to gaming. Hopefully as gaming support continues to improve on Linux more of those people will make the switch.
I don’t even think much when running games anymore. Even DRM-free games I get from Gog I can just click on and run with Wine most of the time. It’s so awesome.
I only have a handful of games I cant play, and thats due entirely to their shitty choice of DRM… and thats not a big detriment cause that obscene DRM would have kept me away on Windows, anyway.
Same here. The games with rootkit and invasive spyware anti-cheat don’t work, but I avoided those games like the plague on windows already so this just makes it easier for me to avoid. That shit doesn’t work anyway, it just makes people not automatically jump to accusing people of cheating when they get owned…
Yeah, but I prefer running it without a launcher. It’s just cool to me I can easily run the games via clickng on the exe or searching it in a runner with very little hastle.
One game that’s really inconsistent about running on Wine is Roblox, which iirc won’t run at all anymore due to the new anti-cheat which deliberately prevents running with Wine.
I got used to using the dualsense touchpad as mouse and bazzite froze the mouse after a few moves 😅 I‘m really looking forward to the new launcher - can‘t remember the name, its in the concept phase and sounds like Wiggle xD
Are you going to tweak turning on the thing via controller and CEC stuff?
Y’all have to understand how crazy these headlines look to us non-Linux folks. I always get excited when I see something reference wine, then it’s Linux. Then got me extra excited here while I tried to figure out what the tie is between wine and Vulcan’s, and wine and vulcans and performance, and what a penalty might be.
I had a solid 3 seconds of internal absolute wonderful thought chaos as I read this headline and pondered the possibilities.
I wonder if this will be backported to Proton? I know on the Deck they have a history of backporting fixes and improvements, and this seems like a change worth doing if there is a significant gain here.
