Actually let me get this out here. When someone makes visuals or sound, they usually test on a wide range of output equipment. But in reality if you put yours side by side with theirs, yours probably does not look the same. Truth is, no matter how much you calibrate, the results across multiple devices will never be exactly the same. So there's no canonical "correct" colour curve. Adjusting colour balance is perfectly fine.

It's even more diverse with audio since there's way more variety in speaker setups.

To make it sound / look objectively worse? ;-)

Nothing objective about whether one thinks something looks better or worse, but sure if you want to you can make it look as terrible as you choose.

Quoting: XpanderI don't really get why you would extra tool for that as nvidia-settings also provides those features. But having for both vendors in the same place is a good thing ofc.

True, but on the other hand this is open source, the UI looks way better and it has more of a chance to eventually have features the nvidia settings does not have, like saving multiple colour profiles per application and maybe different ways to adjust tones. And yeah, as you said, multiple vendor support. Intel too in future maybe?

If they're deploying on Stadia then they have to use Vulkan, so basically yeah.

I think "python" is Swahili for "application probably doesn't work"

@sheep guy

You are quite a hypocrite here, because you seem to have quite a negative reaction whenever you are called out for being an asshole. Maybe YOU need the safe space where you can be an asshole without being challenged.

When people disagree with you, you call them weak minded and whatever the hell else... YOU're the one with the problem here, not everyone else.

Anyway, I had you blocked for a reason.

Ah yeah, Valorant, another game we likely will not ever be able to run with Proton due to it using very low-level anticheat.

What do you mean by that?

"Standalone" would have been the better word probably.

They have to make it run on Linux to put it on Stadia. But they don't need to adapt it to general desktop usage and publish it. We're not many, so... they might well avoid this.

The amusing thing is, according to a dev at iD, the best way to port to Stadia is to make it work in regular non-Stadia Linux first, then add all the Stadia crap on top of that.
