Oh yeah. Though , as Liam noted it is crazy that there are many people writing Vulkan wrong.
But that Stardock company is a member of Khronos Group afaik , so at least i was expecting them to write it right but still no luck.

Quoting: liamdaweFocus to the smiley Liam , i've said nothing wrong at allQuoting: LeopardThis again? Yes I have a Windows partition, for many reasons. There's no need to point it out repeatedly in comments. I'm not an elitist and 99.99% of my time is spent on Linux.Quoting: ShmerlEven Linux solely didn't work out for him :DGNOME Shell with a customized layout is now Ubuntu's official desktop environment. I've been on it since release and it's very stable, but I did install the normal GNOME Shell session to customize it as I like.Antergos with KDE didn't work out for you?
I also have a PS4, a Nintendo Switch, an Android phone and so on ;)

I think "O VAIN... etc" is Total War: Rome 2
and "ONE RETURN TO" is either Shadow of Wardor or Rise of Tom Braider

You're just exaggerating "being grateful to devs" approach. Of course we are greatful but eventually we're gonna pay for a product and because of that we will expect support for it. How can a dev maintain support without even bothering to test it himself?
Let's say he provided a succesful build for testers at this time. When something changes from our system's end or drivers end and that breaks the game ; how can he fix this? Or is he even bother to fix it at first place?
When you decided to release a product on Ios , you should test it first.
When you decided to release a product on Windows , on Android , on MacOS , on Linux ; you should test it first.
I don't know what is so hard to grasp here too.

Quoting: liamdaweI don't really get what's hard to grasp here, but okay.See , that is your problem Liam.
Being good at one thing (making a game on Windows, that might work on multiple OS), does not make someone good (or make something easy) at something else (Linux).
Quoting: Leopardam i wrong to expect from a dev to be able of installing Windows or Linux?Yes, you're wrong to just assume everyone should know how to do something.

I mean , c'mon... We are talking about a game dev (?) , am i wrong to expect from a dev to be able of installing Windows or Linux?
How can they're fixing bugs then or creating games?
It must be way more complicated than installing an OS.

Quoting: liamdaweI got your point but this assumption of yours is pretty much relevant for "basic , home users " which buying pre loaded computers.Quoting: LeopardThis is my point, to us installing Linux is easy. You have to imagine how people feel who've never looked into it, a large majority of Windows users/developers have likely never even installed Windows.Quoting: liamdaweKeep in mind that not all developers are some kind of uber geek, Linux is completely fresh territory for some people.But there is no need to be an uber geek to get a Linux distro ; if you are installing an Ubuntu based distro or even SteamOS. Pretty simple , GUI stuff. Just like Windows.
I don't want them install pure Arch or Gentoo anyway.
I'm not an uber geek too btw.
People need to step outside the box and understand not everyone is as comfortable as us with new things, especially if say they only have one computer they use for developing their livelihood that they don't want to mess up.

Didn't find the way to test it...
Is it that hard just installing a Linux distro for at least self testing?
Probably he just hit that "export" button and called it a day.

Apple did their own campaign about this ; " We are Mac , they are pc's. "
And when this term came out , they were referring Windows.

Quoting: AryvandaarIt doesn't support PC if it only supports Windows on the PC HARDWARE PLATFORM. When are these developers going to get it into their head that PC is a hardware platform, not the OS!? It's not that hard. I'd imagine that people who work in these jobs should have the ability to understand this tiny thing.It's highly related with Apple.
