Quoting: LeopardThey're companies and they're always looking for lock-ins. That is a fact.

For which they can and should be criticized. Q.E.D.

Quoting: LeopardBecause until GOG left out Linux users in the cold with that GOG client , there was no need for that.

You didn't answer the question. You claimed Valve couldn't be criticized for lock-in. That's simply wrong. Now that Valve released this library, you can say they aren't interested in such lock-in. But until this happened, there was not reason to say so.

They also wrote some intro stories for the game. Example: https://ashofgods.com/story/prologue-hopper-and-ammas-meeting/ [External Link]

Quoting: LeopardHe is all against to Linux gaming entirely , only he doesn't know about it.

You need to learn how to engage in proper discussions instead of trolling. Your level of discussion is the later, so in most of cases it's a waste of time for everybody who reads the thread.

Quoting: silmethIf the Wine build supports Vulkan, of course. For some reason I couldn’t get Vulkan working on Ubuntu using wine-devel or wine-staging from Wine’s Ubuntu repos. On the other hand Wine 3.4 downloaded from Lutris runners [External Link] has no problems with Vulkan demos and DXVK.

It's possible they built Wine without libvulkan-dev installed, so it got disabled.

Quoting: LeopardI still can't believe so much hostility towards Valve.

Until they did that, Steamworks was a very practical lock-in. Why would you expect anyone praise such things?

and it won't require Steam

That's very good for a change! Nice for Valve to unlock such things.

Quoting: LeopardWhen you use your monitor with dvi to vga adaptor or a similar one ; it won't be able to detect your monitor res. ( Windows detects it correctly btw )

Good luck with that. I saw enough horror stories with monitor detection on Windows, when you use analog ones (VGA). If you want to save your sanity, don't use VGA to begin with.

Quoting: LeopardIf you have a Realtek wi fi chip , welcome to the world of terminal.

Realtek chips are quite poor in general, even on Windows. Use Intel.

Quoting: LeopardScreen tearings everywhere?

Sure, don't use blobs (hello Nvidia users). Problem solved.

Quoting: LeopardYou have to configure your gaming periphals?

Quite a minority case, most don't have any such peripherals. And gamers who have, are ready to configure them as needed. Gaming on Linux is a special case, we were talking about average Joe, and that doesn't mean gamers.

For most cases you don't need that. Linux works out of the box for the "average Joe".

Quoting: LeopardWindows is there today , strongest. Why? Because of it's apps.

Nope, you missed it right there. For the vast majority of users, Windows offers nothing that Linux can't. That doesn't stop Windows from being most used. It's most used because people are programmed to use it, by PC manufacturers bundling Windows everywhere by default, and people buying what's installed. That's about it. Cases of people needing Windows only stuff that doesn't work on Linux are a minority.
