Quoting: elmapuli hate to say that, but that decision will have an negative effect on us, and positive on then.

iOS is a "money making machine" so many game engines support metal or will support metal so they can be used to make iOS apps, now that apple will ditch support for iOS its more likely that more games will support metal than they will keep suporting openGL.

we have an lower marketshare, most big companies will ditch support for linux insteda of mac.

apple is the richest tech company, even if some companies dont want to support then, they can afford to purchase some support including exclusive games.
The same can be said for Android which in fact is a bigger pie than iOS alone.

Most Android implementations ship with some form of OpenGL and more modern, higher end ones also ship with Vulkan too.

They did say 'legacy apps' will run though. So they are likely going to ship some version of OpenGL.

Just seems like they are making their stand and saying that eventually, it'll be entirely removed.

I wonder when they decided OpenGL is legacy though. There are many modern implementations.

Quoting: MorguldirMaybe Killing Floor 2, they were basically asking for help to port it to Linux, it also has a game mode called Poundemonium.

Quoting: [email protected]Can't use the Xbox 360 controller. It's detected. Listed under input options..

But you can't use it inside any of the games you have in the collection.
It works fine on my computer.
It's wireless. You're not using it wirelessly right?
I use the Xbox 360 wirelessly with steamos-xpad-dkms (Steam OS xpad implementation for Xbox 360). Not working for me.
I have tried the Steam client beta update and it works immediately.

So it's broken in this version of Linux Steam client probably due to this...

However, i've got another issue that's broken in both this and the new version is that when i start big picture mode, it starts in this small truncated window.
I was having that same issue, with big picture mode being non-big picture :P Though I have a 2560x1440 monitor, seems it's trying to fit in a 1920x1080 screen?
I have the same res monitor. Yeah but that can't be right. Cause when I launch a game like that and exit it, it goes full screen 1080p again. Like previous versions.

So definitely broken.
