Graphics Pipeline Library support in AMD and Intel drivers. Nvidia fixing their driver issues, especially ones related to Wayland.
Controversial opinion: Inclusion of an Android-like official<->rooted system in SteamOS so actual kernel level anticheats and L1 Widevine (for 4K Netflix and others) can be ported to Linux.

Quoting: Robert_ThompsonIf they can write a wrapper to implement the Windows video APIs using this, then it could help quite a lot for any game that shows video cutscenes!
Now you made me excited. If these Vulkan extensions can make use of distro-provided H.264-H.265 libraries then video playback issues will be a thing of the past. For some distros at least.

Quoting: KimyrielleThis isn't a real price increase, so people need to chill.
It isn't easy to chill when your currency is about to blow up. Wait, it is because I had already found the pricing expensive and have no purchase plans.
