Quoting: GrabbyNvidia doesn't support XWayland yet, so HW acceleration is disabled if you have an Nvidia card (applications do run, but on the CPU and with abysmal performance). It works fine on Intel and AMD though

So only Nvidia then, nice :) thank you for the information.

I wish Cinnamon had support for wayland

Quoting: YoRHa-2BWat?

XWayland generally does work with native games and wine, but there are a ton of issues, especially related to the Vulkan WSI, so you sometimes get weird performance, Vsync may or may not be broken, etc.

Good to know, I've read somewhere that one of the problems with wayland and games is the lack of hw acceleration with xwayland, so the performance would be terrible

But of course, I'm far from being an expert in this subject

It seems that they're going with Vulkan and Wayland

Newbie question: I know Linux games today relies on X.org and xWayland doesn't have hw acceleration, but what about games running with wine/proton? Can they use hw acceleration once wine start to use wayland?

Quoting: EikeTo the best of my knowledge, they never said anything about a why not, though, and I guess that's the best way for them to handle it.

I know, my point is: I think is pretty useless asking people to say games that the company would never port (like people here asking for Jedi Fallen Order or Skyrim, which is a big NO based on the companies that published it)

They should at least say something like "This are the companies who would let us porting their games, which of their games you would be interesting to see a port?"

Unless they're using those comments to later send to their publishers as a incentive to let them partnership with Feral, but sadly I wouldn't think it would be effective.

Either way, I personally just hope they gave us a feedback later instead of been in "Total Silence" :wink:

I hope they actually listen to the games being asked here (or at least give us a feedback about why not) instead just being silent and release another Total War...

Quoting: NeoTheFoxbut the native version was never good..

No surprise given the creator opinion about Linux...

1 - The Outer Worlds (would be another F you Bethesda having this games on Linux)
2 - Remnant: From the Ashes
3 - PLAYERUNKNOWN'S BATTLEGROUNDS (I don't want to play, but would be great to get more Linux users)

it includes a bunch of performance improvements for D3D9

Valve should release a dedicate app for listening soundtracks in the smartphone (like Spotify). This could encourage developers to use this new tool and also customers to buy more soundtracks.

Quoting: EikeFor Nvidia, I can assure its not a problem, I even use experimental every now and then. The driver so is seperated from the rest of the system you can just drop in the other version. Kernels usually get backported, and I think that's also the case for Mesa?

And if you want something more rolling, you could still use Debian testing. With all the quality assurance needed for something like SteamOS though, I'd probably stick with something stable with very selected updates.

Nvidia is a whole new subject in this case, the good part of their drivers is that works well for their products, the bad is that it's usually a problem for everything else (and a Gaming OS is more than just graphics components).

Their products are good but only if you work with their drivers and their patterns, which means that you're arbitrary stuck with their decisions, or else good luck in your own (Nouveau and Wayland people know well what I mean).

Support a SO which the system depends on a third company that you don't have official support/partnership is really a bad ideia, and in Nvidia's case, the only company I think can be arbitrary to then as they are for anyone else is Microsoft (for obvious reasons)
