Why not Ryzen + Vega? I thought most future AMD based consoles would use that.

So what will developers do once Steam controller driver will be in the upstream kernel, will the project switch to it?

Also, question to the experts. How can Steam controller firmware be updated without Steam?

Quoting: ArthurDo keep in mind this is something I've only read about Wayland, also fairly recently, but I don't have first-hand experience so I can't guarantee all of these are still issues.

The easiest way to figure it out is to test it and note what doesn't yet work for your use case.

Moderators removed your post, and you should have taken note of that. Your last one violates forum rules too.

Are you talking about on-line games? I really don't get how rendering libraries can be forbidden to result in a ban.

dxvk is quite easy to eanble but if anyone finds it difficult, feel free to file a feature request for winetricks. It's not any different than enabling other dlls.

Quoting: GuestCan you even game on Wayland? Maybe with open-source AMD drivers? Last I heard you can't do that with NVidia proprietary drivers and Wayland.

With Mesa you can. With Nvidia - not sure (depends on DE). Linux gamers are gradually ditching Nvidia anyway, so it's not going to be a problem in the long term.

There was some effort to support Wayland through Vulkan instead of EGL, bypassing this whole mess of GBM vs EGLstreams, so that can help Nvidia users in some future too, but for that all DEs should support Vulkan based compositor as well.

Sooner than that. KDE is mostly in good shape already with Wayland support. Now we need big applications like Firefox and Wine to catch up, so they won't need to use XWayland as a fallback.

Quoting: axredneckFeature request: stats about gaming under X vs Wayland.

Good suggestion! I'm planning to try to switch to Wayland with upcoming KDE Plasma 5.13, since they finally will release mouse configuration support for libinput.
