Embrace, extend, and protect? Microsoft joins the Open Invention Network to 'protect Linux and open source'

Quoting: mylkamaybe microsoft knows, that the desktop market is shrinking. mobilphones are the future and ms has no chance against android and apple. not tomorrow of course, but can you imagine what phones can do in 10 years?
Have tiny screens? Oh wait, they already do that.

The barrier for phones eating the rest of the desktop market is not mostly things like processing power; they're already powerful computers by the standards of not too many years ago, and anyway you can outsource computing power. It's the form factor itself; there are things for which you want the bulk of a desktop--the big screen or two, the comfortable keyboard, the many connections for peripherals and so on. Note the way tablets ended up having all these things to let them act like laptops you put together, with little keyboards and thingies to make the screen sit up.
big screen -> glasses, like VR now but smaller. OR foldable OLED displays

keyboard -> special gloves, or laserkeyboards

peripherie -> all wireless

maybe microsoft knows, that the desktop market is shrinking. mobilphones are the future and ms has no chance against android and apple. not tomorrow of course, but can you imagine what phones can do in 10 years? 10yrs agao we played snakes and now fortnite. in 10yrs we may have a complete office PC on our phones and tablets
even we gamers are a very small market compared to consoles. PS4 has way more sellings than pc games. so who needs a desktop OS in 10yrs?

cloud is the future. maybe cloudgaming and servers have linux. all you need is a tablet and a bluetooth gamepad to play cyberpunk... or a switch and you can play everywhere
even smart tvs could handle streaming. you dont even need a console anymore

The Wine team have released VKD3D version 1.1 of their Direct3D 12 to Vulkan translation library

Quoting: GuestObviously, the list is monumentally short compared to DX11 games, but (aside from P-L.G's tweet [External Link] is there anyone showing this working on a DX12 release title? I know I have at least two (maybe three) titles I can try this—Oops! Nevermind. In pure (non-Proton) Wine, make that five! ;)

It's the Wikipedia, feel free to add it again
i dont think they deleted it by mistake. why would they add it again?

Linux market share on Steam now at a 16 month high after a rounding error was fixed
4 Oct 2018 at 3:17 pm UTC Likes: 2

maybe the wine users. maybe a lot of dual boot users, that tried all their windows games on linux

i would like to know how many downloads some games had in the past weeks.
i would say witcher 3 went crazy
and bethesda with doom, fallout, wolfenstein and skyrim too. do you think the publishers give a hoot about the numbers?

The Linux market share on Steam is at a 14 month high as of September 2018

Quoting: Xpanderi doubt we will reach higher than 1% any time soon. Proton is great, but it still needs a lot of improvements to be just 1 click to download and play. Drivers still need to get up to date and so on and on.
you cant expect a change after 1 month
i think its more important what developers will do in the future. no one will switch to linux, because old games work (except online games of course, but if you see the most played games on steam most of them are for linux anyways)

the question is: will new games work with proton?
will developers program their games, that they work with proton? (VULKAN)

you cant say anything about that, but that will be the interesting part of proton

Battle Royale game Crazy Justice just had an update to the closed beta, we have keys to give away

Quoting: Ehvis
Quoting: mylka1) why are there no enemies?
2) how do i switch to vulkan
Too few people play. So in the one minute queue time you often find yourself alone. (number is shown on screen)

Vulkan crashes. But adding the -vulkan command line switch makes it happen.
thx. vulkan crashes
can i increase the queue time?

Feral Interactive are teasing ANOTHER new Linux port

but it would be interesting how the vulkan port can compete with it

i hope it is YAKUZA. i think ZERO and KIWAMI are very similar to port, so they would have 2 games
I'd love to see some of the recent remakes SEGA has published on Steam. Yakuza or Shenmue would be outstanding additions to our catalogue.
shenmue should run with a workaround according to this

so does yakuza, i just saw
