Nice find!

Looks like it should be sorted out soon-ish (with ~next release)

Hmm, I played this on proton the other day without major issues, IIRC... The native version couldn't connect to most servers, due to them downloading arbitrary dlls on your system for anti-cheat... Talk about remote code execution! I am glad I run Steam in a flatpak.

Anyway, those anti-cheat systems often reject my wine libraries, which is sad... but at least, you can still play vanilla in LAN.

The comment about virgl is interesting, now I want to make a mega multi-seat LAN party box :)
I suspect monitor bandwidth will be the actual bottleneck, though ^^

Here's what we have for you at the moment:

Hmm, this should probably show the unanswered questions (in bold, or something to set them appart): I hadn't realized there was one about VR headsets, nor one about X/Wayland before reading the comments :)

If you start a fundraiser I could donate 20€.

Haha, thanks, but I guess a bounty would be the best way to go about this (and time is harder to get than money right now).

Heh, I just looked up the source code... It's C++, so this particular project will provide userspace driver support at best. :( Unless the project will be rewritten in C, it won't be accepted in kernel.

Well, C code is just there to tell the kernel how the thing works, the hard part is figuring that out. Even if it was written in C, you'd still have to rewrite most of it to leverage the kernel interfaces anyway. And being license-compatible, you're free to open two editors side-by-side, and start using exactly the same algorithms, instead of reverse-engineering them from the hardware, or driver (would have been a shame to have to reverse-engineer an open source driver...).

Quoting: ShmerlIs Chrome OS using Wayland?

AFAIK, it it. IIRC, it's even used by Android apps instead of surfaceflinger. I didn't find much on this topic though (information is scattered), besides this FAQ entry [External Link].

So, this could be used for chrome os, but also for headless streaming. Now that I think about it, this is ideal to leverage steam remote play without displaying anything on your computer :)

I suppose this is compatible with the recent gamescope developments, as as far as I know, chrome os can run Linux apps and uses a Wayland compositor.

Quoting: GuestVery interesting and I'm to glad to own only AMD GPU's :-) So as far as I understand I will be able to run this even on to of a normal desktop. I suppose a Wayland one as it is using Wayland. I've used Plasma Wayland as well for gaming and the only missing features is freesync support for me. But this could help to reduce stuttering that is visible in Wayland if not using vsync, I hope.

Well, I miss video capture as well (be it plasma or sway): Steam Remote play [together or link] do not work, not even in-home streaming :/

Quoting: PangachatNothing new here, Bungie banning linux gamers from Destiny 2 too. Because of reasons...

Wrong. Destiny 2 was banning Linux gamers using a literal hack to work around anti-cheat, anyone banned using it dug their own grave.

Oh, so it is safe to play? I refrained from it because of that. I think we really need a wiki page with sources on topics like these...
