Linux user base in general is growing.That's for sure.But every single person in this base are not gaming.Even some of them don't know Steam.

Linux usage is growing in great pace,also gaming on Linux is growing.But not that fast compared Linux user base in total.

Quoting: PixelPiSounds quite reasonable. Some people are just experienced in Linux and in Windows. Nevertheless, the idea exists that the games run better under Windows.

I am doing my experiences with Doom 2016. Everything is running super (under Wine) but then there is again a problem. I think it runs better under Windows. Nevertheless, I would never switch to Windows. But I can understand, however, if people prefer to play on Windows.

Maybe it's because Doom 2016 is a Windows supported game(not Linux) and fully functional?

Quoting: LeopardI remember something like that.Just like 2017 Q1 Deus Ex will be updated for Vulkan.

I m sure i saw that on somewhere but i can't find it right now.

See this:

Edit:
„I can confirm that we will be implementing games for Linux using Vulkan from 2017, but we have no plans to release a Vulkan version of Deus Ex: Mankind Divided. I hope this clears things up!“

Yes,that Gol article was i mention.

We can confirm that Deus Ex: Mankind Divided on Linux is using OpenGL, and we're very happy to announce that we are looking towards Vulkan implementation in the first half of next year.

This part was i m talking about.

Quoting: Kuduzkehpangreate for linux gaming but sorry i couldnt count this as linux sale. İ dont want developpers to hide behind WİNE and say we are making games for linux withouth actually coding them for to natively run under linux.
else i have to thank blizzard cuz publishing Linux games out of the box. .s.s

X Blades is an eight year old game.Are you actually thinking that game has a chance to get native Linux port?

I too prefer native ports in new games but it's better than nothing.

Quoting: LeopardI asked for that because Feral planning to add Vulkan support for Deus Ex:MD.

Are they?; I thought they had mentioned that the first Vulkan game from them would come in the first half of 2017 but it wasnt Deus Ex, though they may revisit it later on to see.

Quoting: LeopardFor possibility of Aspyr media speaking as you say in the article;can you ask them are they planning to move their previous tittles to Vulkan?

This is extremely unlikely for existing titles. Is there a specific Aspyr port that doesn't perform adequately with OpenGL? Bit of a wasted effort otherwise.

I asked for that because Feral planning to add Vulkan support for Deus Ex:MD.

I'm not asking for performance problems,i just want to developers get used to Vulkan.Eventually,OpenGL is not so competitive with DirectX but Vulkan has.

Great example of how to use Wine by Topware Games again!

Like these old games,we don't need a native port.We just want to play them without effort for Wine builds and settings

Like that,Cdpr must have a Wine Port of Witcher1
