I always said that Stadia would help Steam Deck and linux desktop to have native ports, one helps the other and vice versa, the next one will be Steam for chromebooks

This moment is important, but it has been built for a long time, important projects were:
Vulkan : a more modern API
Android : despite not guaranteeing compatibility with Linux Desktop, it made important engines like Unity and Unreal support Vulkan and the Linux kernel

and this moment will be perfect when most new games are native , with proton serving as a kind of backwards compatibility

and I think the more projects using linux and vulkan the better, initiatives like Steam for Chromebooks and Stadia are also important to make Linux an important and relevant gaming platform for the industry.

Quoting: henriquecariocaguys, test Stadia too, it runs linux on servers
This does not oblige developers to have the game on Steam for Linux but it certainly helps the Steam Deck to have native games going forward.
Microsoft still wants to keep developers locked into their platforms
And one of the FUD attacks that Stadia suffers is using Linux as a pretext and the lower quality of games that Stadia has for using Linux.

Dude, stadia is absolute garbage and honestly does a disservice to the name Linux.
A) It's a game streaming service so it should be opposed from the beginning.
B) It has barely any games anyone actually gives a shit about on it.
C) FUD related Stadia being linux based has nothing to do with Stadia not being successful. It has everything to do with Google moving onto their next new toy and well: Stadia was never good and only could have been good if Google had actually cared enough.

you unfortunately believe the sensationalist sites that attack Stadia by clickbait, sites that say that Google will shut down Stadia even before the platform launches.
Stadia works great, test it dude,
but I'm talking about using a linux based platform instead of using a windows based one ( xbox cloud gaming )

Stadia looked like a giant promise when Google first launched it, but in the end it turned out that publishers saw it as a separate thing so they never did a Linux port of their games, they did a Stadia port of their games. So when/if they ever think of releasing a native version for the Deck they will most likely not even reuse the Stadia port but start all over from scratch (at least that is the impression that I've got from how game studios work).

And with their recent "this is how you build a windows emulator" announcement, it all but look like they won't even pursue native games on Stadia any more.

Stadia is linux + Vulkan , Stadia helps Steam deck and vice versa ( and steam for linux )
that simple ,
And the windows emulation is for older games, not for new games, they were very specific
And folks, games don't need to be ported 1 by 1, just the engine, Unity and Unreal already support Linux and Vulkan
I don't understand your interpretation of things, you were supposed to be happy, two big projects run linux

Quoting: BluEgoTo me this is great news, I have a lot of fun playing games on GeForce now.
The problem though is that Xbox Cloud Gaming is subpar when it comes to playing on the cloud. The picture quality is quite compressed, and the latency is still too high when compared to Geforce Now (which is so good that sometimes I forget I'm not running the game natively).

Test Stadia , best cloud Gaming quality
And run Linux

Quoting: pbNext up, streaming Steam games using Stadia's technology.
One can hope...

Do not limit yourself to Steam , do not be a slave to just one store , Stadia is independent from other stores and in the short term it looks bad , but in the long term it will allow a better service , more profitable and with that a better investment in hardware , and more optimized and scalable, a 100% cloud platform is a better implementation than adaptations
And best of all, all running Linux.
Believe in the power of Linux on servers.

making games releases for stadia ( linux + vulkan ) is no problem for developers, many have been released, it's complicated to release old games, in which developers don't want to spend money modifying , proton for stadia and steam deck are good to have more legacy library, but not native games will be more and more normal with the growth of Stadia and Steam Deck

Proton is opensource and may have Google work with Valve to implement, as Steam will officially support CHromebooks !!! proton may have been designed for all 3 platforms: Stadia, Steam Deck and Steam for Chormebooks!!

And about Stadia games on desktop it depends on the developer !! maybe they are not interested!! which can change with steam deck, but it sure helps because Stadia runs Linux and Vulkan !!!! but the interest has to be of the developer, with Google not being able to simply force them to do this !!
