Has anyone done any performance comparison between Dolphin in Windows and Dolphin in Linux? I know that there's a DX12 backend that gives a slew of frames for Windows 10 users, but I was curious how OpenGL currently performed against DX11 on the same hardware.

I noticed that they'll be using Apple's Metal API per their web page. I left them a tweet and asked if they'll be using MoltenVK, which allows for the use of Vulkan on Apple's Metal. I thought it might simplify/streamline the codebase.

While things look grim right now, at least one of the seminars for Steam Dev Days is entitled Building Games In Unity for Linux and SteamOS:


That's hopeful at least. Unity performance has really taken a large step in the right direction, lately. I recently tested the alpha of the System Shock reboot on Windows and Linux and got overall about 99% performance parity.

I remember how excited I was when I read that Valve was making a gaming OS, I immediately thought of the impact it would have across the PC market. I wondered if Stephenson's Rocket would be to SteamOS as Cyanogenmod is to Android.

Being a primarily Windows gamer, I dove feet first into Linux by installing SteamOS on a second SSD. I learned a lot about how the OS works, and a lot about how to troubleshoot Linux in general. From there I installed OpenMediaVault on a second system as a NAS (Debian based, look it up. It's fantastic!) operating sytsem and learned more yet about Linux.

With every update to SteamOS I was hopeful that Valve would release Steam BPM apps like Netflix, Spotify, Youtube. My repeated disappointments led me finally to simply install Antergos in place of SteamOS. This allows me to appreciate the AUR. Hopefully, Valve will step up their game in the future. For now, it doesn't look like they plan on doing much more than maintenance. It's a shame, really.

For now, I use Windows for most of my gaming, but I look forward to a day when I can be 100% free of the Microsoft ecosystem.

Quoting: GuestIf they want you to guess they could at least give some sort of clue.

To be fair, there could be a lot of assumptions derived from the font, font color, background color, background textures, size of the font, and even the ellipsis.

It may be wishful thinking, but I'm hoping it has something to do with Deus Ex: Mankind Divided.

I... Kinda think this looks cool. Definitely pretty original!
