I can't wait to retest some titles that was struggling in VR (No man sky) and see if it's finally playable with async reprojection :)

Does it have thunderbolt 3?
So we could plug a GPU enclosure to it.

Metal Slug with a goose, I can't wait for this one :)

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is free on Stadia Pro, Head of Product at Stadia leaves

The real problem of Stadia is the business model.
Nobody is willing to pay for a service where you need to buy your games anyway (without even possessing a copy of them).
The Stadia pro offert is not as appealing as the Game pass from Microsoft.

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.

Getting Linux running properly on Apple M1 Silicon has begun with Asahi Linux

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.

But lets hope i am wrong 😀
It's always a good idea as it will provides a longer life to those products once Apple will leave them into the dust.

YoYo Games expand their Linux support in GameMaker Studio 2 to the Raspberry Pi

Quoting: denyasis
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.
I don't see that as an issue.
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).
