Some information on why Wine is not going to be using DXVK

If your talking about the recent one then no that is not what anyone meant.

It is a open source project btw, not sure what exactly the wine devs were expecting, a rolled out red carpet? Just fcken do it! if they think they can improve something.

Steam just got non-steam game proton launch options, works pretty good except sometimes you might need to create a Documents/Steam folder in the prefix or internal error appears...

They probably would have got a better responce opening a feature request or issue on the DXVK github... DXVK guy probably gets a 1000 emails a day, and in those situations you just pretty much auto ignore most of them.

Lutris has a third beta available for the big 0.5.0 release

I'm using windows10 atm because I've been playing Kingdom Come Deliverance at 4k which is a tad too lower framerate with proton, plus no freesync with gsync under Linux yet (1080ti).

I'm hopeful companies will gradually move to Vulkan API and it just won't matter anymore... still going to take time for that to happen.

It would be nice if this had a windows compatibility function so you could use it as a launcher for steam/gog/uplay/bethesda, whatever. Its getting there under Linux.

The new System Shock is looking quite impressive with the latest artwork

Good to see my 30usd isn't going to be a waste, hopefully. Things could still go wrong regardless of how good it looks so far.

Most my stuff runs good under Linux these days, except for select titles like KCD at 4k (even 1440p has fps drops for no reason). And of cause Warthunder since their OGL option is trash now, for those things I use Windows10. Hopefully Linux gets a freesync-gsync update soon.

Another Steam Client Beta is out, adds the ability to force Steam Play

As for devs becoming lazy, I think its well past that if they haven't fixed things for their Linux port already. ARK being a prime example..
