Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead is a sprawling FOSS apocalypse roguelike

Gotta say, this game is AWFUL so far.
Downloaded, compiled.
No basic way to enable any graphics.
Without it looks like ass. I am sorry, it's 2022. I loved Dungeons of dredmore, look it up. Great rogulike.
Git page has good chunks of links not working.
Stay away if you value your sanity.

Online co-op shooter GTFO adds 'partial' Steam Deck support
14 Apr 2022 at 8:04 pm UTC

Remeber, game that hangs steamdeck - is not at fault. Steamdeck is.
Correclty working drivers + OS should NEVER hang. GUI may drop or game can hang, but it should not affect overall device.

Honestly, what do you expect in SUPERULTRA competitive game where most games are random people together?

Feral Interactive have no plans to update their Linux ports for Steam Deck

I cant say I did not see it coming. We let a tiger in to get rid of the cat.
Feral probably ONLY had contract for PC version, for Valve supported OS.
It fulfilled contract.
Companies who want to have market share of handhold console are welcome to buy service for Feral to port there. Or use Proton.

Its sad, I see we won't have any native Linux games any time soon. AA or AAA ones...

OpenGL on top of Vulkan with 'Zink' continues maturing with 'near-native performance'
7 Nov 2020 at 1:56 pm UTC

I see some major potential.
Id be even optimistic to say, that OpenGL code on top of vulkan can potentially be better than code from driver writers, who knows. That means, potentially can be more performant that original GL drivers from said driver writers.

Hopefully it will kill openGL development without killing OpenGL usability.

I can dream, right?

Quoting: GuestThere might be a miscommunication here - text is hard, and I'm not going to assume English is your first language, but coming on and saying that Stadia news should be ignored and that it's not "Linux" (GNU/Linux) is actually trying to say how the site should be run.

Especially when it's already been mentioned how it is a supported method of running games on a GNU/Linux desktop (and an Android Linux device too for that matter).

If you want a discussion, then might I suggest you give supporting evidence of your position?
I suggest, I don't 'TELL' them what to do. Telling someone what to do - assumes some kind of authority, which I don't have.

My position is simple. How supporting proprietary product, of software you don't own for a second, of a behemoth company, who is likely stops Linux ports from happening(I don't remember seeing one title that came out on stadia to be out on Linux) is helping Linux?

How is it ANY better than Microsoft?
How do you even know they use Linux?(because they said so? Boy oh boy I have a bridge to sell)

Following same rationale, Hugo, was Linux compatible 20-30 years ago! :D

And why do you call something Linux, when the code is not even executed on your Linux machine?

Quoting: Liam DaweFor people that don't like it, I urge you to just go and block the tag in your user settings. It's here, we're covering it, deal with it. Or, be like a reasonable adult and ignore what you don't like and are clearly not interested in. This constant back and forth is tiring.
I act like reasonable adult and voice my opinion. I am not telling you how to run the site. But I am not staying silent either. Thats what adults do. They have civil discussion/disagreement.

Quoting: drjomstoo late but my 5 cents...
We should stop acknowledge Stadia's existence.
It's as much Linux gaming as some broadcasting of Playstation game on Android phone.
Would you prefer to stop acknowledging the Wine project as well then? After all, that's for running Windows software, and Windows gaming.
I wouldn't mind.
it was already covered here on gaming on Linux site, that some devs say that they think Proton is too good to make native port.

I think I have only one title in my collection of hundreds of games that is Proton. Wither 3.

Honestly, would not mind.
Have very a few proton games.
If it disappeared - I would not be upset.
