Quoting: kit89Perhaps have the thumbnails static and animate them if the user hovers over it or goes to applications page?
I just tried the site on a landline internet w/ a big desktop machine and it still lags up. Itch really need to consider taking a minimalistic design philosophy to heart. I also spent a good five minutes lost on the landing page looking for their Linux filter option only to discover that you need to navigate to an entirely different page before that even becomes an option.

The fact that having reached basic parity with other platforms warrant moments of epiphany is a lot more telling of the whole situation. No user should ever have to stop and think "wow, we're finally being treated as equals".

have a user defined setting that allows filtering the entire home-page to be Linux-only titles.

The open source Vulkan driver 'radv' for AMD on Linux has patches for geometry shader support

Quoting: liamdawe
Quoting: buenaventuraI'm not sure I understand Vulkan, I presume it brings better performance? So, if I have a game that supports both OpenGL and Vulkan, I would be better of using Vulkan (when this driver is mature)?
Vulkan enables lower-level access to a GPU, meaning developers can squeeze more performance. It also has better multi-threading. In theory it should bring better performance, but some games may still be perfectly fine on OpenGL.
Probably also important to note is that the Vulkan driver doesn't run validation on each frame like OpenGL does. End users are not debugging.
