Quoting: SpykerI still wonder why there isn't a gaming market on Raspberry Pi yet, considering the million devices already sold.

It could make for a nice little gaming box... Much cheaper than the Atari VCS.

And now... Gamescope on Raspbian. :grin:

Unfortunately, it would require an ARM Steam client, but it would be a fun thing to witness.

Don't know what it means in absolute numbers but...

I was on the fence of taking advantage of this promotion too.. Too bad! Better luck next time!

Quoting: GuestThat said, even if this new green card seems well priced, I'm finally about to quit using nvidia by christmas for AMD.
YAY!

Good luck getting a 6800(XT)/30X0 by XMas without paying double the MSRP xD

Quite the same for all next gen GPU. Team Green's GPUs, in the RTX 30x0 series, are not easier to find or cheaper, atm.

Not sure it's going to be better with this one either. Better wait for January... Maybe.

Ubuntu Unity was among the best DE's in existence

This is blasphemy. I should call the Spanish inquisition.

Please add me to the list of the blasphemers... Unity was awesome, imo. :wink:

Quoting: Alm888...If (when) the game is released with official Linux support, IMO it should not matter what technique was used as long as the quality is reasonably high...

This. Exactly my stance.

Quoting: GuestTo add to the previous comments, the stadia version shows in the credits it uses DXVK. And stadia is debian.

Lets hope this is a new tendency that will pick up momentum...

I'll just quietly hope all morons will vanish sometime thanks

If anything this proves that windows by 2020 is a cartload of legacy garbage which nobody really needs but everybody's stuck using.

Wow! That was rude!

Thing is, at 0.9% market share, DXVK/Proton are probably the only way forward for Linux gaming, if the goal is to attract developers to the platform.

Who knows, maybe some day, in a decade or two, when Linux gaming hits the 3% or 4% mark, we may see true linux native games, written from the ground up, but in the meantime, you better brace yourself, because you'll have to deal with lots of morons by the square feet!

:wink:

DXVK might no be perfect for all cases, but, if the Windows build is programmed following Valve's guidelines for Proton:

"The proof is in the pudding."

It's not far fetched to think that they don't need more than DXVK which is a component of Proton... Add an optimisation tweak/bug correction here and there and the build is good to go.

In many cases, Proton/DXVK gives nearly Windows performances (if not better)... Why bother with an expensive 3rd party, closed source wrapper?
