It's good that Linux userbase didn't require much support. It'll encourage developers to support the platform as it wouldn't cost them much (considering they are using an engine that already has Linux support).

Same here, the list is full of non-Linux games when my preferences is set to Linux only. This has been broken for a couple of years now, which is mind boggling.

Looking at the visual quality of the video posted, it looks like the game itself is not well optimized, even on Windows.

Vulkan and DX12 should solve all those issues because they are lower level apis.
1- There is no more a need for game-specific driver optimizations. The reason we had those in the first place is because DX11 and GL are higher-level APIs, so game devs can't do low level optimizations themselves and it has to be done by driver developers instead. DX12 and Vulkan are low level already, so game devs can do those optimizations themselves.
2- It's easier to map low level APIs, so porting from DX12 to Vulkan should be easier than from DX11 to GL.
3- Because both Dx12 and Vulkan are low level, low level optimizations done towards DX12 are likely to benefit Vulkan as well.

This sounds like a bad port. The spec is much higher than the game seems to need.

Valve was obviously waiting on Vulkan for pushing the entire SteamOS ecosystem, not just the VR part, which is understandable.

Yes please, localize the games and the Steam Client itself to be able to compete, otherwise there is no way you'll be catching any market share away from Sony's PS4.

What does "artificial intelligent games console" even mean?

This is clearly a sign that the game won't see a Linux release at all.

Quoting: pb

Quoting: sarmadYup, very frustrating. My guess is that it's not a bug, it's that they are doing something fundamentally wrong and fixing it requires a big refactor of the code. My guess is that they have a loop for updating things in the background instead of depending on events.

Well I just found the fix, not entirely satisfying but my ears are grateful. I open the about window, resize it to minimum and shove it to the bottom right corner of the screen. It keeps the CPU calm and the fans quiet. :-)

Interesting. Thanks for the tip, and the article. Just tried it and it works. My CPU is thankful to you :)
FYI, Instead of resizing and shoving to the corner of the screen, I simply threw the About window to a different virtual desktop and I got the same effect.
