This using Unity3D? I thought that had in-built linux/ogl/vulkan support.

Hopefully they can work with Valve to make it so the windows version runs decently via steamplay.

Yeah just waiting for the 5800XT or 5900XT, I want something that can match or beat the 2080TI before I buy a AMD gpu. So might see something by end of Q1 2020.. Plenty of time to save up.

Haha!
I always found it the other way around, gnome users talking about how fantastic their featureless (most extensions don't work) desktop is and how KDE is bloatware, meanwhile I moved from GNOME to PLASMA5 the other day and noticed things just work allot better and faster (even games work faster somehow).

Shrug.. Just saying. GNOME SUCKS!

Hopefully AMD's open-source vulkan drivers can pull ahead and make some real impressive wins against NVIDIA's closed drivers in the future, that would really put the pressure on, we have seen what open-source opengl drivers have done for AMD, quite impressive.

A look at how Steam Play is doing, based on the ProtonDB reports from July

ProtonDB is really only a guide, for the most part I might go there to read comments on howto get a specific game running and ignore any ratings I see since they tell me nothing.

You could have 3 Ratings,

1) Game works how well from scale 1 to 10 (10 being as good as or better then windows)
2) Workarounds needed (section provides fields for people to define steps taken)
3) Borked, doesn't work.

That seems good enough to me.

I recently submitted Empyrion as borked on Proton 4.11, however it works fine (minus EAC) on proton 4.2.

Also I'd like to say Risen3 works quite well with PROTON_USE_D9VK=1 %command%, even reshade functions! (bit of cache skipping going on tho)

Quoting: GuestI will never understand the reason for Gaming Laptops. Either go for a Console or PC. But yeah i guess nice for those who are willing to buy it or so.
Some people live a very compact life I guess, no house/home, no possessions, no TV, always on a bus or in a library/study somewhere. Guessing that is the type of person this is aimed at.

Pegasus Frontend, another open source game launcher has Linux support

I prefer launchers that have easy ability to download and plugin WINE versions etc like how lutris does it. Not everything plays nice with default proton configurations provided by steamplay.
