Technically we ALL use xorg to run games without "native" Wayland compatibility, right?
How so? Can you explain this further?@Chrisznix - old Linux games rely on xorg for display and a "nested" version of xorg is being launched in Wayland for them when they launch

They removed a lot of libraries... I know, increase in speed, less memory overhaul, etc etc, but I expect many old games not working anymore...The thing is, you can still use the older versions of the runtime for these games. In fact, it is likely that Steam will default to an older version of the runtime for older native 32 bit titles.

The Frame is an interesting frankenstein. With Proton + FEX + whatever compatibility layer they are using for Android (like Waidroid or similar, I suppose).Tech is just stacking building blocks on each other. This case specifically is made possible thanks to the power of open source ❤️

Android ARM APK on Steam. What a time to be alive. I honestly would love to play some quality ARM games that never made their way from Android to PC before.
