I have some lyrics in my head "how low can you go?" ;)
Very nice to see so many people working on game compatibility improvements.

I hope they will add more payment types soon. Independence and robustness depend on being usable without credit cards that are run by US companies

They don't have to release galaxy for Linux at all to be viable for Linux gaming. There is already plenty of tools handling that.🥰

The question is how can we keep the almost monopoly of Steam in check and balance it out?
I buy my games only on Steam if there is no other option.

Quoting: CatKillerin that case the linked website is inaccurate or out of dateQuoting: tpauGeforce below 20xx series... are stuck on 1.1.That's also incorrect. Kepler supports 1.2. Maxwell and up supports 1.4.

Geforce below 20xx series and amd below 480 are stuck on 1.1.
I happen to have both Geforce 980 and AMD RX 480.
Don't count us out just yet^^
It is not like wine OpenGL would deliver a bad performance for such old games though.
This is more academic, theoretical, proof of concept.
Not having it breaks nothing.

The avalanche is building very slowly it seems.
Wish it would be faster, but i have no idea if it is just the BF6 community that can't switch or if there is another big obstacle to solve.

I see a large overlap between that and Lutris.
Not sure if there is enough difference to be worth the effort instead of joining up with the existing projects.
