One of the twitch streamers I follow plays it regularly, I will test it, no doubt.

Congratulations!
BTW are we now able to discuss PEGI/USK 12+ year games openly? :grin:

Metro Exodus from 4A and Deep Silver has officially released for Linux
14 Apr 2021 at 7:42 pm UTC

I would love to receive a free copy :whistle:

Bought Metro 2033 and LL and really liked it, the performance was so good it was ahead of Windows at almost all settings as I remember.

Metro Exodus arrives for Linux on April 14

Was waiting for that port!

Move over Stream Deck, give me some Stream Pi

"Stream pi", really? Why not pi-stream? You have to speak very distinctly, else you will get served a cake.

If you have an old NVIDIA 8 or 9 series GPU, there's a new Linux driver update out for you

I would like to see a 390+ driver with vulkan support for my GTX470, so hope has not died yet.

The Khronos Group has launched a unified samples repository for Vulkan learning

I took a look at graphical programming around the time Vulkan came out and I realized learning OpenGL didn't make sense at that point: Reviewing some simple programming exampes (eg. colored triangle) felt like 5 examples took 6 totally different approaches, because OpenGL had so many versions, extensions, libraries etc.

When the Vulkan specs were released I was excited but in the first year there was literally no literature other than the specs. (The first educational book pretty much was a copycat job of the specs and felt it didn't help at all)

Quoting: subI wanted to learn OpenGL and didn't manage for years.
Simply couldn't find the time.
Now, I do have some time that I would like to invest in learning a graphics API,
but OpenGL seems to be quite obsolete by now.
Then again, Vulkan as a first graphics API without prior knowledge of GPU architectures,
sounds a bit too challenging.

What do you think is the best approach?
Thanks for any input! :)
The best education on Vulkan to me was the youtube series (german)

OpenXR from The Khronos Group and Monado from Collabora could unify VR & AR

Really good approach, I hope its not too late, though. We already have the graphical fragmentation and honestly I am surprised how many non-graphics developers and project managers I met haven't heard of Vulkan yet.
