I'll give it a try on Sapphire Pulse Vega 56 if anyone is interested, once GOG will release it.

Good to hear that GOG release is coming!

Regarding Everspace - I'm still waiting for it too.

DXVK, the Vulkan compatibility layer for Direct3D 11 and Wine has a fresh release reducing CPU overhead

Wine users should learn how to make Wine prefixes and what not. Learning pays off. We are talking about manual no support type of scenarios. Winetricks can make it easier. Some tools like POL / Lutris can do it too. But that's not really the main benefit. The main benefit of Wine and dxvk is ability for developers to make supported ports.

The Vulkan-based compatibility layer for D3D 11 and Wine 'DXVK' has a new release out

Quoting: Luke_NukemHaving Valve step in and up with official support would lend both Linux and SteamOS another level of credibility in gaming.

I suppose so. But Valve (or GOG, or anyone really) can't start doing it without owners of those games giving them permission, because each contract on distribution is usually (quite weirdly) tied to particular OSes, and adding another one requires a new contract. And if those companies didn't care about Linux, something should change for them to care now even about trivial third party wrapping.

Quoting: Luke_NukemI hope Valve picks it up, or at least includes it in SteamOS with a curated list of supported games that people can install - Steam & SteamOS level support for Wine would be a damn good way to entice some people over.

You don't need Valve for that. Supported however means that developers should maintain their games and address issues that can arise in Wine+dxvk when their games are used with them.
