We want to give you a heads up that starting February 1, Mac and Linux versions of the DRM-free games currently in the Humble Trove will no longer be available.

Wine gaming in action.
It's time to rename the site from "GamingOnLinux" to "GamingOnProton".
Sad but true.

Well, no. We cover everything and Proton is still playing on Linux.

Quoting: Liam DaweWe did already write about their upcoming changes.

No. I think something is missing in your report, Liam.
If I understood it right their changes is not about getting a new launcher for Windows. It is about ditching Linux at all.
And - somehow - a complete Linux-less Humble looks somehow out of place on a site about gaming on Linux…

It is noted in our article.

Quoting: The ArticleNext up, they’ve decided you need another launcher with the Humble app, which will only be supported on Windows. This will be required for the new, additional, Humble Games Collection. This will contain a “growing” list of curated games. On top of that the Humble Trove is being renamed to the Humble Vault, which they say will remain “DRM-free” but it will also require the Humble app.

The normal "main" part of choice is not restricted to the app.

We will continue to highlight anything we think is a reasonable deal.

Article updated to note Proton-GE and DXVK_ASYNC, which does improve performance a lot.

Quoting: MakiSince Humble Bundle is trying to alienate Linux users, I don't want to give them more money.

They have successfully lost me as a customer.

Wow. That is the extra fuck you mile.
I think I only got like.. 2 humble bundles at most (usually because like this one I already have it... I'd call it worth it with ease but you know...) But never anything humble anymore.

We did already write about their upcoming changes.

Use them like any other company: if they offer a good deal, go for it? Doesn't change the main part of Humble Choice that people go for - the keys.

Quoting: BlooAlienNice. Another Proton game wishlisted for me.

There are no such things as "Proton Games". Only Windows games. This game was developed for Windows™ and for Windows only. :P

Good point. But since I don't own Windows, all Windows games are just Proton games. Maybe that distinction will go away as the Deck releases and matures, but until then, a Proton game (for me) is a Windows game that works on Linux. If it doesn't, I don't care about it at all.

Wording is important though of course, and so are distinctions but we have to pick our battles and I don't think this is a productive one. It's basically the new shorthand for saying Windows games run through Proton, to just say Proton Game(s).

It's different to saying "runs on PC", since Proton is a clear target for Linux directly.

Quoting: GuestI'm not sure if I understand this correctly. So supposedly just updating the EAC version , will automagically enable proton support? or even with the up-to-date version you still have to enable proton support manually?

From what I understand from the article I also have the same question.

Developers first need the EOS SDK version, and then they need to manually enable Proton support in the settings.

Quoting: kellerkindtThe Vulkan X11 swapchain improvement seems also to be released in a previous version?
https://developer.nvidia.com/vulkan-driver [External Link] (November 2nd, 2021 - Windows 472.55, Linux 470.62.07)

Correct. That is the developer driver though, not for normal use.

Quoting: mrdeathjrThis new linux driver is first 5xx series driver and works with kernel 5.16 avalaible in kernel mainline for ubuntu users

however must be use this tool (ukuu fork) for more easily installation process

https://github.com/bkw777/mainline [External Link]

You only need a kernel that's newer than 3.10.

It's also for Ubuntu-based stuff only.

Quoting: rustybroomhandleSo the devs here may be talking out their butts? Either way, we should probably not expect too many older games that use EAC to switch over.

They said they needed to confirm that. However, as we said in the article, it does not for Brawlhalla.

Quoting: rustybroomhandleI also still do not see what the point is of sticking to older anticheat solutions because surely that's the one thing you need to be up to date.

Again, as mentioned in the article, it is kept up to date.
