This must be the first article that doesn't include an intro and link to Steam Deck. Liam thinks we finally know what it is by now :D

Quoting: ShabbyXFYI, dEQP is the original name of the OpenGL CTS, before Google bought the company and donated it to Khronos. The correct name now is VK-GL-CTS.

Also, lol, I didn't remember what it stood for.

Heh, interesting, even the official GitHub ReadMe still calls it dEQP though https://github.com/KhronosGroup/VK-GL-CTS [External Link]

Yeah, and so do the command line options. Despite all the work that's continuously done to add tests, there is no one actually cleaning anything up there :D

I haven't touched a blizzard game since the CEO's now-long-ago response to the petition to bring their games to Linux. Given how everything microsoft touches goes to sh*t, I'd say ...

Whatever.

I can't imagine how much of a salary cut this must be!

Good for us though in the end.

Is it just me, or 8 million people gaming seems such a small number? The onlinr number really means nothing, I leave my Steam open 24h a day, and I imagine many people do.

Like I'd imagine globally there are hundreds of millions of people gaming at any time, which makes windows gaming insignificant, let alone Linux.

I'm playing Northgard now, and it's very addictive! It's very different but somehow gives me a warcraft vibe.

This looks like a paid ad!

Quoting: SolitaryWho knows, the question is what/why was it 24GB big before and how they managed to save 14GB.

Maybe they used to have a whole distro with every irrelevant lib and app installed, then went and trimmed that. Like I think LibreOffice is installed by default on many distros, but obviously the deck doesn't need that.

I'd guess chimera would adopt steamos3's interface, but I think it's still an improvement over steamos. For one, you can install games outside steam (like stepmania) and chimera takes care of integration with steam itself.
