GOG suspends all sales in Russia and Belarus

let me step in, i'm from Belarus. I understand the GOG's move but i must clarify the situation in Belarus. We protested against lukashenko in 2020-21 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020%E2%80%932021_Belarusian_protests [External Link]. Personally i was in a custody because of it. There were tortures and at least 15 people were killed during protests. We are UNDER OCCUPATION now by fascist regimes. People of Belarus do not support war! They hate and despise putler/lukashenko. We live like in GULAG now. And even now people try to protest. 800 were detained in one day at anti-war protests. Some even began a rail war by destroying rw infrastructure to break russian troops supply chain.

@Liam please do not associate Stadia with Linux gaming, there are a lot more of Linux fans outside of 14 lucky countries where Stadia is available. Currently Stadia means nothing to me and likely in foreseeable future if at all.

In any case i wonder how Logitech g29 will be managed in Stadia.

Some early first impressions of Google Stadia played on Linux

From a standard user perspective, it does work fine on Linux. Shockingly well too for the most part. I fully expected there to be all sorts of issues and it's fun to see the normal Linux desktop sit alongside Windows and macOS as a supported gaming system for something so big. That's my main takeaway from the testing done.
Why did you expect issues on Linux? I bet it will work fine even on FreeBSD in Chromium. I remember playing OnLive in 2011 (when it was still there) in Wine without issues. It's just a streaming like YT. There is no wow effect in that.

I play Serious Sam VR on Linux with no issues with Vive.

I don´t have a single problem with my Vega 56 (running Tumbleweed).
I have Vega 56 in Acer Predator and have this bug https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=110777 [External Link]

Don't you have it?

Never had any crashes with Vega in many months already. Rock solid overall. Navi on the other hand is still quite raw.
This bug https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=110777 [External Link] chases me on Vega 56 starting from 5.0. Only amdgpu.dpm=0 helps.

Afair from the previous presentation at least DOOM Eternal was ported natively to Stadia (Linux). I wonder if it will be available for Linux outside of Stadia.
