- Improved interactions between the Steam runtime and host distribution libraries, which should let Steam work out of the box with open-source graphics drivers on modern distributions
[...]
- Updated libxcb in the runtime with a fix for DRI3-related crashes on open-source graphics drivers
I can finally stop removing files from the Steam Runtime. Thanks, Valve!
This,Sooooooo much!!!

It was Mantle the mainly lit the fire tbh, Scared the crap out of them when handed to kronos. I admit this also would have sparked a little movement

Quoting: Mountain ManAMD has really done a disservice to the Linux community with their poor support. If it wasn't for Nvidia, Linux gaming wouldn't be where it is today.
Don't talk utter crud.

Nv drivers have been reasonable on linux since what, the 90's. !

Why has it taken this long? And to point out, the games that were on linux prior to steam worked fine on AMD too. as both camps was generally beating the windows version on several games.

So the real force that catapulted linux gaming???? Valve/Steam end of.

I was looking to get a new keyboard and mouse kit so will have to look elsewhere.

Ohh well.

Damn, That was fast :O

It is a shame though :'( His work was the reason for choosing roccat, No other manufacture has anything close like that of the roccat-tools suite that he's done.

Thanks for letting me know northerner!
:D
