I'm surprised VK9 isn't in the list for apps for favorite FOSS project. to me this has been one of / if not the most important development for Wine, it will help in getting a dx10/11 to Vulkan implementation working later. which will help with less degradation of performance in wine, not to mention the ability to port things over from DX9 to Android as well as Windows ports.
CSTM does a wonderful job, but I think Vulkan will help a lot more.

side scrolling rpg, haven't seen one of those since Dungeons & Dragons: Chronicles of Mystara first came out. but of course this seems a whole lot better in some ways, the combat dynamics look quite interesting.

i've been impressed with the quality of work going into this title. it has had steady updates about every week or two. a lot of nice features this will be a gem of a game once released.

Quoting: sarmadThat's still not good, considering that China is the future biggest market. This chart means Linux is completely ignoring the Chinese market. Also, the non-Chinese market share is still going down.

from what I've read in the past, it's more to do with how Chinese have not taken to Linux that well. many even down play Linux more-so with misinformation. In the last 5 to 6 years that view has been changing thanks to Android and a few developers that have been working on Chinese language for Ubuntu Kylin and the mostly Chinese developed distro Deepin.

in order for Linux to be available for Simplified Chinese someone has to be willing to do the translations. plus China has been so ingrained to use windows that pirated copies of windows 7 runs rampant from what I've read in the past. I honestly don't know how much of that has been true. but considering that many don't have windows 10 yet, since it is a free upgrade, then they most likely don't have the MS genuine approval for the free upgrade.

one thing that could flip windows on it's ear though, is if we could get more Linux adoption to China along with key games that are real popular in China ported properly for best performance. it's an interesting idea.

64.35% of all steam users are Chinese speaking. English is only 17.02% that is an interesting statistic in of itself. with Chinese at a growth of 8.23% and english at a decline of -4.25%. with the increase of windows 7 almost in the same proportions and the drop of windows 10 similar to english speakers. if you make a game on steam it should have Chinese translations be designed for dx11 as a prereq if you want the largest market. interesting times indeed...

seems like a well thought out strategic stealth/fighting.

i'm such a glutton for sandbox games, especially if they use voxels and allow me to build stuff. if it has survival, then that is a bonus.
