Collabora share big progress on the Wine compatibility layer with Wayland

Quoting: GuestAllow me to ask why OpenGL should be replaced in the first place?
Do you mean the API as a whole or more like Desktop Environments running on Vulkan instead? The later would be super cool indeed.
Probably compositors like KWin switching to Vulkan. Not that OpenGL should disappear - you still need it to support a ton of games and etc.

Quoting: BielFPs-Freesync with HDMI
I'd prefer HDMI to disappear and be replaced with DisplayPort everywhere.

Nice progress. Looking forward to switching to the Wayland session when KWin / KWinFT will also add adaptive sync support. That is a bigger deal breaker than the need to use XWayland for Wine currently.

Quoting: LinuxwarperThat leaves Saber interactive, who are currently developing Witcher 3 enhanced edition for CDPR. Enhanced edition is said to bring raytracing among other things. Witcher 3 is using DX11. Despite Saber using Vulkan for World War Z and Crysis Remaster, it's not certain W3EE will use Vulkan. So potential supporters of RT for Linux has been largely eliminated by Microsoft. And that ladies and gentlemen is how you stop momentum.
That's interesting. I haven't heard anything about TW3 EE. Did Saber also work on TW3 for Stadia? If they did, it could mean they could use Vulkan for EE too. But they'll be stuck with DX12 for ray tracing on Xbox anyway.

Quoting: CyrilYou "Steam guys" are happy that us "GOG guys" are unhappy or what?
That often comes off as a reaction of some Windows gamers who cheer when Linux gamers don't get some release. I'd think Linux gamers should know better.

Quoting: IggiThis is Deep Silver as the publisher. I wouldn't expect them to support anything besides Steam...
Why not? They support GOG with Windows versions.

If developers read this - please release the game on GOG too. With good sales numbers it should be possible.

It's a pity itch.io release was canned.
