While I'm glad they are including Gnome Tweaks by default (It should really be integrated to Gnome), I will probably disable their dock to use Plank instead.

I'm always amazed to see how many game devs are still ignoring SDL2 and are re-inventing the wheel when they have to deal with Linux... No wonder why they struggle to support our platform.

Quoting: BumadarGreat if they get it working but as apple is not intrested in this (although could be a good market for them, just bare hardware) this will always lag way behind because of the amount of work that reverse engenering takes, apple will be on the m3 by the time the m1 will be up and running 100% (cpu, gpu, network) with linux.It's always a good idea as it will provides a longer life to those products once Apple will leave them into the dust.
But lets hope i am wrong 😀
YoYo Games expand their Linux support in GameMaker Studio 2 to the Raspberry Pi
21 Dec 2020 at 6:27 pm UTC
From my point of view the RPI is a platform of its own.
It has an official OS with capable OGLES 3.0 drivers (it even supports Vulkan now).
It could perfectly run a lots of indie games. It should be easier to target than a regular Linux PC because it has a fixed hardware and an official OS (you don't even have to target other distro).

Quoting: denyasisI don't see that as an issue.Quoting: SpykerI still wonder why there isn't a gaming market on Raspberry Pi yet, considering the million devices already sold.ARM. That's my guess anyway. Not even all the linux distros target or can when run on a PI without issues, mostly due to hardware limitations.
It is probably too much of a hurdle for commercial games at this stage.

Valve updates Steam with more Linux improvements, new game properties UI

I also noticed the issue with shaders compilation and Nvidia drivers since the 455.x series.
Hopefully Nvidia will manage to fix that, because on some games it's very annoying.
The Elder Scrolls Online for example randomly crashes on the connection screen since the 455.x series.

NVIDIA plan to support Linux with GeForce NOW using Chrome

So, for Nvidia, Linux is not a "major platform enough" to get the same dedicated app as Windows and MacOS. Thanks for the effort though.

Steam Play Proton 5.13 gets a Release Candidate, Valve working on new Vulkan extension

This 5.13 update has been really rocky for me. I still have to deal with a lot of regressions, like my optimus laptop not working anymore with proton titles, even when I come back to 5.0.10 now it seems broken (probably a mix-up with runtime libs as weel). I really hope they get it squared out soon.
