Quoting: Luke_NukemHow many downvotes would be possible and how would that affect the rating on Steam? Something I'm super curious about now.

It doesn't matter, how mayn downvotes they receive through this, Steam implemented some kind of Ranking Protection in case of some "incidents" where due to a specific topic a game gets downvotes.
You can see this here:

The asterisk indicates that the Rating is filtered:

If that prevents you from writing negative review due to dropped Linux support, that amounts to censorship.

Quoting: Guestyou do realize btw that wacom is just a brand name right?

Sure. But they also tend to work on Linux really well, while others are all hit and miss. Which other tablets work on Linux without issues?

Quoting: Alm888It did allow developers to drop Linux support right at game release and is absolutely content with games like "RUINER" never getting recent Linux updates (yes, I've contacted both GOG's and "Reikon Games" support services -- the decision not to release 1.6c update for Linux is deliberate and official).

Do you mean Ruiner developers skipped updates for Linux just on GOG (but did on Steam) or they simply skipped them all? That's a nasty behavior either way.

Something is rotting in Epic. They dropped parallelized Vulkan renderer WIP item from their list for Unreal Engine, which is not good for Linux titles using it.

Unless it means they already implemented it? Can anyone who has access to UE4 code confirm please?

Though it still runs it in the container, or that's just for security reasons? Is ChromeOS itself using Wayland or some kind of custom display server?

Sommelier is an implementation of a Wayland compositor that delegates compositing to a ‘host’ compositor. Sommelier includes a set of features that allows it to run inside a tight jail or virtual machine.

Sommelier can run as service or as a wrapper around the execution of a program. As a service, it spawns new processes as needed to service clients. The parent process is called the master sommelier.

Quoting: ShmerlIs Chrome OS using Wayland?

AFAIK, it it. IIRC, it's even used by Android apps instead of surfaceflinger. I didn't find much on this topic though (information is scattered), besides this FAQ entry [External Link].

Interesting, thanks! If Android UI applications can work through Wayland, Google should simply move to it on Android itself.
