Quoting: PyronickProton/Wine is an incredible tool, but a properly packaged native game running within this modern architecture is now just as stable as a Windows binary, with zero translation overhead.

i saw this movie before, we dont have an great track record of backward compatibility and we cant know if its fixed now, we have to wait 10 years from now and if the things made now still work, that means we have backward compatibility... for things made years ago, but current stuff might still have issues, as new libraries are used that may not have the same track record.

in any case if wine can be stable then there is some stable basis somewhere, until it doesnt because any distro can break stuff on purpose, but the ones who do would be punished by the lack of users... i mean everyone loves snaps right?

in any case, even if an game work, the mods for it may not work, if an mod rely on changing something on a binary to work, and the linux version has an different binary because its native, we cant expet this mod to work unless we run the windows version of the game on wine insted of native, so yeah, wine/proton will still be used even in a future where all the games support linux natively.

anyway, do we still need an audio interface for professional usage? or pipewire does the job?

Quoting: GustyGhostI've been playing Linux native games (Unity, no less) that I had bought ten years ago without any issue. What is there left to improve?

i think the devs had to do somethings manually because the engine didnt fully support linux, or if it did the add'ons didnt, so there is that, maybe they can do something about that?

Quoting: CatKiller=
Of course, back then, OpenGL support was about the same on Windows, Mac and Linux, so you could avoid duplication of work. Vulkan support on Windows isn't that great, and it's non-existent on Mac, so there'll be more platform-specific duplication of work this time around.

true, except that the apis are similiar because you cant change much once you get so close to the hardware

a lot of people all over the internet were complaining that valve promissed 4k 60fps, but end up delivering 1080p/ 30fps...

i really hate how people are dumb.
first, valve promissed that all current games on steam would run at 4k 60, with FSR, they are just specifying how well an game have to run without FSR now, not to mention, they promissed the games that were already relased would run at this settings , but they cant do much if the games launched on the future dont run at 4k 60, they cant predict how bloated they gonna be, so instead of pretending an game dont run at all on their machine, they set an minimum spec to get an q/a badge, most console playerd dont care about playing at 30fps, and resolution dont define how good an game look, minecraft wont magically look good just because its runing at 4k, it will not have "graphics better than gta5 running an 1080p" for example, so judging an game by its resolution is stupid as hell.

yet the entire internet is full of people calling it doa or pretending valve is not fullfiling their promisses.

i really hate loot boxes, in fact i hated it since when i got some pokémon tcg cards, and realized that the system could be turned into pay to win without much effort, and i was an kid back then.

"We think the transferability of a digital game item is good for consumers—it gives a user the ability to sell or trade an old or unwanted item for something else, in the same way an owner can sell or trade a tangible item like a Pokemon or baseball card. NYAG proposes to take away users’ ability to transfer their digital items from Valve games. Transferability is a right we believe should not be taken away, and we refuse to do that."

what about transferability of digital games then?

anyway, its hypocrisys to focus on Valve while the entire industry does that, there are something behind those lawsuits.

I bet epic or microsoft are behind so many companies suing valve, especially ms, they mhave more to lose.

most of the people who use linux speak english, so USA might be one of the places where linux is used the most, banning all USA states would reduce the linux marketshare a lot...
