Quoting: KimyrielleDell has been offering a few more reasonably priced options with preinstalled Linux for a while here. Not sure if that offer is available in Europe, though.

Dell's offerings are usually US only.

Quoting: CatKillerIt's not marketing, it's economies of scale. Cheap things can only be cheap if you can sell a lot of them, and the Linux laptop market just isn't that big even if you could capture all of it. Which means that high end boutique models are the only ones worth making unless you can sell a shedload of the same machine with Windows on, like Dell or Lenovo. When the market is bigger, or if it's supplemented by another income stream, it can sustain low margin devices like Chromebooks.

Absolutely, well aware of this, doesn't mean I can't want to see more lower end models for Linux users on the market :). I like what Star Labs do with their Star Lite Mk III, which has been tempting...

Update - 26/06/21: Proton Experimental also saw an update. It pulled in the updates from 6.3-5, plus it also mentions "support for Nvidia DLSS" and that "Resident Evil Village, Forza Horizon 4, and Anno 1404 - History Edition are playable".

Quoting: SpykerI can't wait to retest some titles that was struggling in VR (No man sky) and see if it's finally playable with async reprojection :)

I think you'll have to wait for the 470 driver!

It's already available right now.

Quoting: dpanterCould it be that Liam mixed up the screenshots?

Nope.

Quoting: SolitaryMy guess is that the native resolution example just doesn't have any sharpening applied at all, which might be Liam's mistake or maybe the game doesn't have any sharpening options (I never really played Dota, so I am not sure), but if I am not mistaken you should disable any sharpening options before enabling FSR (because it would interfere), so if the native resolution is missing that effect (by mistake or that's just how it is) then you might get this unbalanced comparison.

There is no mistake. FSR sharpens the textures in Dota 2.

Quoting: etamAnd yet on their website there is

What host platforms do you support?

Initially, we will support Windows 10 and select Android devices and we will continue to add new platforms after the consumer launch.

Considering the fresh comments from the CEO as noted in the article, it seems that will at some point change.

Quoting: lajesticHi Liam, Thanks for the "Best Linux Games" collection! Can you perhaps show that collection on your itch.io profile?

I couldn't find a way to save or follow the collection yet.

Sure, done.

Apparently it does indeed work with certain titles in Proton, so that's good.

Edit: Also works in Dota 2 if you're using Vulkan.
