I can't even use my Quest on Linux as it requires 3rd party streamer apps and oculus app, all of which ignore Linux's existence. :(

Hopefully RTX features can somehow be supported under DX12 also. That be nice.

I think this only shows off the AUTO resolve combat. Oh wait, a flicker of it at 0:09, would have been nice if they showed some more.

Secure with a Intel processor in it... hmmmmmmm
I really can't take these guys serious after they raised the price on their phone like 10x and delayed it even more.

Apparently Cyberpunk 2077 will be DX12 exclusive. Could be a issue for running it under Proton as the DX12 component is very early in development still, and no word on RTX features working under that. Windows wins again, :(

ARCH does make it easier to use stuff like Wine/Proton NVIDIA beta drivers and veriest game related tools.
The AUR facilitates them well and the whole pacman/aur process allows for easy patching/tweaking of settings which UNFORTUNATELY is still needed under Linux for 'optimal' gaming.
That's my guess.

Still got 3 tick boxes I'm waiting for under Linux
1) EAC/BE Anti-cheat support under Proton
2) Better VR support so I can use my Quest under Linux (via wifi app).
3) Nvidia to offer Wayland support.
Once those 3 things happen I'll be pretty happy.

I wish I could use SteamVR under Linux, but I have the Quest and it relies on stuff like Oculus App / VirtualDesktop / ALVR which are all exclusively windows coded desktop/steam wifi/link streaming apps.
You can however sideload steamlink to get basic game streaming going but its not VR support and doesn't look as good as VD or Link from what I've read.
This is kinda why I'm constantly FORCED back to Windows, and it sucks, but I don't see any light at the end of the tunnel. Unless someone who loves Linux and the Quest and can code good makes something for the sideload quest app, that be neat. (I would love to do this, but I'd be basically starting at caveman drawings level in education on howto, lol)
Really disappointed with the VD developer, he is getting a fair bit of coin for his app, likely making several hundred thousand a year, and he replied to me, "not interested in linux, ever." :cry:

Linux Mint 20 'Ulyana' is out with better NVIDIA Optimus support, fractional scaling

Bet the fractional scaling doesn't work with steam. I wish valve would just release a 1.5x scaling option instead of the only 2x option which is pretty bad on 4k screens.
