This is one game that's not going to be popular here, lol

I mean, there's many people that don't hate Windows entirely, they just hate Modern Windows so they can definitely still have a nostalgia for the classics.

I get your point, so this is more of an FYI:

Microsoft in the 90s were at their absolute worst. I grew up with this stuff too, of course, but once you learn the damage they caused it's hard to look back at it with love.

Multics (predecessor to unix) in the 60s had shared objects (dlls), filesystem permissions, multiple users, multiple processes etc, everything that is "modern" in windows. DOS in the 80s had nothing. Remember the viruses? Vista 35+ years after multics was the first windows to actually support multiple users.

They set back operating systems by decades. Maybe if Gates had actually stayed in school and took an OS course...

Quoting: ShabbyXMy question is why HDMI is being such an ass?

you asked the wrong question. The question is when is it Not being an ass.

No I'm serious, what benefit does HDMI get from disallowing Linux supporting it?

Do they want a member fee or something? If Valve wants this, paying for that on behalf of Linux seems like such an easy thing, I couldn't believe that would be it.

Quoting: razzeIMO mikes take on https://www.supergoodcode.com/unpopular-opinion/ [External Link] is at least something to consider

Bear in mind that half of Mike's beef is usage in Zink. Being an opengl driver forces you to implement things most apps will never have to.

It's not like managing descriptor sets is easy :/ But he does have a point that we need more of these API shattering extensions to make the rest of Vulkan more coherent with heaps.

Quoting: Purple Library Guy. . . There are things that still use OpenGL?

Lots? Outside the API translation layers, Vulkan is not popular at all. It's orders of magnitude harder to use than OpenGL.

There is not escaping minecraft, it's all the kids talk about. That and the cursed roblox.

Thanks to Launti and the Voxelibre team, my kid can get his minecraft fix without any interactions with microsoft.

Or maybe this is all misinterpretation? It could be official as in "gpd officially supports it", not the other way around. "The bazzite team" could be a team inside gpd that is working to make bazzite work.

I don't know, haven't checked, and am not interested in gpd. Just saying, don't jump to conclusions.
