Quoting: ShmerlBecause expertise in Vulkan development is going to increase going forward (thanks in part to Stadia).

Why would "expertise in Vulkan development" increase? The whole point of Proton, from a developer's pov, is that you do not need to move away from DirectX to support another platform...

The announcement of Proton had the plea to developers to use Proton Vulkan...

Quoting: chelobakaSotTR was announced for Stadia. It's highly likely Feral is polishing it for Stadia first so we don't hear any updates from them.

I was unsure about their mobile activities. Might help us by having them on the lucrative side - or pull developers away from Linux. Stadia should be a different thing, as it could support them financially while still porting to Linux.

Quoting: EikeWhat I dislike about their post though is they used Shadow of the Tomb Raider as an example for Proton.
One of the very, very few big games coming native to Linux...

Which is almost a year old and Feral don't seem to have mentioned it again since initially announcing it. How long is everyone supposed to wait?

So we can declare Game Over on native Linux gaming besides "retro-inspired"?

So, they're working on what they're calling fsync and suggesting changes to accommodate it in the Linux Kernel.

Valve also showed off some proof-of-concept glibc patches, to expose the Kernel patches as part of the pthread library to get it all working.

That's really great. For Linux gaming, Valve is improving Linux in general.

Quoting: liamdaweAlso, sorry for the delay everyone. Yesterday was my 31st birthday so I took a rare 100% day off, I'm in catch-up mode now.

Well...

... we hope this was the last time!

Seriously: Happy birthday, young man!

Quoting: PatolaNo middle term? So how is Linux gaming in all of this?

by wich measure 1% of marketshare on the desktop is an middle term?

Well, to whom and by which measure, I would ask.
Linux gaming might not yield Valve as much money as they put into it, dunno.
It might still be a lever for Valve to avoid closing of Microsoft's ecosystem...

Quoting: kaimanRequiring 370MB RAM, it sadly will not run on my old Laptop ;-). Given that it requires less disk space than RAM, one wonders what the technology behind it is. Must be something bloated like Unity.

Compression?
