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? 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 don't even need a console anymore

Cloud is just a catch phrase. It is nothing new, just extending your local network into the internet. Offloading your management and hardware overhead by sacrificing security. I'm constantly amazed by how much worse the breaches keep getting while simultaneously the push for the cloud, the very thing enabling these massive breaches, keeps getting pushed harder. I had a vendor that was quoting a job for me say, "yeah but they're really getting better with the cloud security". Um, no they're not, not really. The breaches are still getting bigger and bigger. The guys keeping their LAN's local and secure keep sitting back laughing at all the breaches, until the executives force "the cloud" down their throats. Then they sit back and wait for the walls to cave in.

The cloud is great for things that need to be on the internet (internet services) and horrible for things that don't.

Urgh, tell me about it. At my library we got a new system for all our info, and it's in the bloody cloud. So where it used to be if we checked out a book the reaction was instant, because the database was in the buiding, now there's a couple seconds lag on every single action because we're in Vancouver and the server is in bloody Toronto. It's also browser based, and the people who wrote it cunningly set it up so that if you open a new tab to do two things at once with it, your actions on the two tabs write to both or something so it corrupts your data. So we can't do that. And it breaks if you use browser controls like the reload or back button, you have to use their little "back" control instead, which varies its position depending how the browser is laying out the page. Has all the disadvantages of a web app but few of the advantages. But, you know, web apps and the cloud are fashionable. Gah.

i dont think so, if i watch kids today. they dont care about PC/laptops anymore. they browse the web with their phone, they watch netflix with their phones, they listen to music with their phones, they play games on their phones

if you worried about that, then your account here isnt save, your amazon account isnt save, your netflix account isnt save... both have your credit card number
you accually shouldnt be on the internet at all, because "they" track you and send you ads and malware
do you have a phone? google or apple knows where you are, where you have been and even where you going

you have to trust these things, to make your work/life easier. i almost dont even use office anymore. i use "google documents". thats more than enough for my purpose and i have all my files on every device

could it be unsave? Yes
do i have very important stuff there? NO
the same thing with your vendor. what would they lose, if someone hacks into it? do they get private stuff, or "just" bills, bank balance and adresses

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

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?

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?

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

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?

Quoting: mylkatomb raider runs OK with proton
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qubt4vrrh_E [External Link]
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
https://spcr.netlify.com/app/638970 [External Link]

but lets see what ferals ported
