Anybody know which framerates Windows gets and how they compare to Linux-vulkan version of this game?

What have you been playing recently, and what do you think?

Been playing 'Bravada', an oldie and was on my to-play list for such a long time, finally got into it. It's rather fun and kind of special.

Feral have released the minimum and recommend system requirements for Mad Max on Linux

I'm all set, i'm on-par or above spec except for my CPU, which is i5 but has never been the bottleneck in any game i've played so far.
Mad Max is already in my lib, unfortunately it will not count as a linux sale (although it will only be played on linux), was included in a bundle.

Things I feel Valve need to address to help SteamOS really be something fantastic

The only thing that irks me, is that they don't filter steamos releases. Seriously, you're looking through a list of recommendations and think - hey, that looks pretty cool. oh, it doesn't support linux/steamos. Why am i seeing this crap? A filter used to be there, they took it away for some reason. Stupid!

For streaming and apps and what have you, my opinion is that Valve should partner with Google and build in chromecast capabilities into steamos. That would be awesome and provide a lot of content to be playable through SteamOS. How hard could it be?

Besides those two things, i really like the platform. I also have a Steam controller (which is really great) and a steam link (which is really nice, when it works, but often it bugs out - fix this valve, the link needs to be stable!).

Currently i'm not worried about HTC vive support, because there aren't that many games worth to play yet.
