Quoting: IperpidoYes, they rolled out 4k for the web... but on Windows only.
On Mac Os, there's no native VP9 support, but i can't understand why on Linux it's still locked to 1080p

Well there's the Stadia+ extension [External Link], which can allow you to force a resolution like 4K. The reason they don't by default, is likely as no current browser (even Firefox) has proper GPU video acceleration on Linux right now.

so, no HDR and no 4k? shit
i dont care about 4k to be honnest, but many people do, and not having HDR is an big issue for me, at least in the games that support it...

No, i think HDR works on full hd too. And Stadia supports it.

you dont get the issue, HDR dont works on linux, that is why krita didnt have support for HDR on linux.

well, i probably will play on my chromecast anyway, there is no reason to ocupy the computer and tv when i can ocupy just one, and an big screen is a must have...

but, other people do care about HDR and 4k...

Well, i can confirm Stadia+ is actually working well on Linux too.
My other problem is that i have a 2k monitor, not fuill 4k. on windows i can use AMD's VSR, but on linux is harder.

I managed to do that using xrandr:
xrandr --listmonitors
hdmiOutput=$?
xrandr --output DisplayPort-$hdmiOutput --mode 2560x1440 --panning 3840x2160 --scale 1.5x1.5

(change DisplayPort to HDMI if you are using HDMI, of course)

Stadia+ is open source too, so as Stadia evolves people can hack away at that too which is quite cool. Shame it's needed for 4K right now, but eventually when browsers catch up on Linux for GPU accel it won't be needed.

stadia is open source? what? where is the source code??

Quoting: elmapuli hate to say that but...
geforce now pretty much killed stadia.
you simply can acess all your windows games on it.

dont get me wrong, i'm not saying i would use it, but the only reason to not use would be, because you are an linux fanboy...

i mean, you can buy your game on any store (steam, uplay, origin, epic store, gog, itch.io, etc) and stream it, you can get the free games that those stores distribute and stream it, or play it offline on your local machine.
why would any one purchase then on stadia instead?

i know its too soon to say that, but yeah, nvidia pretty much killed it, and looks like microsoft monopoly will continue for an foreseable future, even worse, they will gain marketshare at the cloud this time...

Geforce Now has no 4k, and no Linux support.

the issue is, stadia cant live by selling games just for us, linux users.
and if the service is not sustainable, then google will give up on it.
currently, its like the first xbox, where microsoft lost money for years before they could make any profit, but if this dont change, soon or later they will give up.

geforce now not supporting linux, and stadia not being able to compete will kill our only chance of growing our marketshare on the desktop and end this cycle of "chicken and egg" problem.
but now that nvidia did this move, i dont have an clue on how google will compete, that is, if he can compete.

hell, i cant wait for stadia to be avaliable at my country, but the way things are right now, i think this day will never come...

"Pricing starts at $699 for the base model with 8GB RAM and a 250GB SSD. Could be a great little indie gaming and streaming machine."

er... nope, at this price i can buy an ps4, switch or xbox one...

honestly...
i think we are doomed, like, hardware? really?
dont get me wrong, i have asked for new keys for years, so i can create custom shortcuts and try to adapt my workflow for it.
the issue is:
we need more inovations in softwares, we will gain more productivity with better software...

its hard to make money with open source, so many distro makers chose to sell it togheter with an hardware, because its easier to convince people to buy an physical object that they cant get for free than donate to an project.

i can see the trend here, in the past, i thought that an free game with opitinal payments for cosmetics were the best business model for consumers, but now, many companies focus more on cosmetics than the game itself.

i think they should invest more money in projects like blender and godot, but they arent paid to be impartial, so making an system designed to be fast travelled with their own keyboard can make people get so used to this workflow that they will not want to use anything else, or better saying, maybe they will be able too...

i guess an proposal like the endless OS one is much better, sure, they make custom hardware, but they make an system that comes with a lot of softwares and documentation so you can use the computer offline in areas where people have no acess to the internet, without much prejudice, you dont have internet acess and cant find an video tutorial? this OS comes preloaded with it. (or something like that)
that is an real solution that i see solving real problems.

the system76 aproach here is... well, i dont like the trend...

this division trailer is a bit generic, i hate this "tun dun dun dun dun" music that i hear quite often in movie trailers or, in this case, game triailer, but the game may be good, and the graphics are great.

as for the crew, i get bored with the crew 1, so i will pass it, if i purchase it, it will be to support linux gaming.

as for their exclusive titles, gylt seems good, the other ones are skipable.

cant wait for stadia to launch on Brasil, but having a lot of games is far more important for google right now than being in many regions.

i tried it some time ago, and it didnt helped much, compared to starting from 0 in something like html5..
sure you had some features like an tile map editor, but even i can do that, most of the part you still had to do anyway...
so, i'm not willing to test it again so soon... i'm sticking with godot.

honestly, this thing is worse than clickteam fusion was 20 years ago, back when it was called multimedia fusion.
not to mention construct 3...

i know, i know, its open source, and support linux, but its not usable yet.
well, its getting there, but trying to make any serious game on it, right now, would be an waste of time.

begginers cant contribute then selves to it and the ones who understand more about code are... i dont know, contributing to godot instead?

at this rate, i dont see much of a future for this project and dont see many sucess cases being made on it on the future.

i really wish it luck, i loved the workflow of mmf/construct, but everytime i download it to see the new version, it still has some glaring issues.
at least it looks stable this time, but the UI is too big and clunky, i coundt use it for 5 minutes without losing my patience.

for some one who never used anything better, it should not be an big issue, but for me its like torture, i dont know if its an good idea to recomend it just yet...

not to mention, its designed to be navitad with an keyboard, that is the opposite of what i expect from an newbie friendly engine, for 2 reasons:

1)an newbie cant know the list of options that he can perform, so in order to figure out how to delete an object he will have to guess the correct term: destroy? delete?
its even worse if english is not you arent an english native speaker.
and it make it harder to translate.

2)moving from the keyboard to type and mouse too much will be tiring
