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...

Now that I think about it, it technically shouldn't be a problem at all, as the linking only happens on the user's computer.
The Steam libraries are technically not necessary for the game to work, I guess that one could interpret the GPL in this way.

Moreover, who is going to sue them? The only one that could are STK devs anyway.

GPL is needed more than ever these days. Please stick to it!

Hmm, I wonder if there couldn't be a second (MIT or similar) executable communicating with GPL code trough an IPC mechanism, as this would allow more GPL games to be published on Steam. It would be a shame to see multiple projects abandoning the GPL because of this :)

NO. Not for me, thank you. I feel like I'm probably going to try this out at some point, but I certainly won't use it enough to get that 3 months subscription. They really ought to have a no registration demo or something, but I have every game I need on my computer and then some, thanks.
Plus, I do not like to lock my saved games to a walled garden. I've already restarted RoTR on PC after playing halfway through it on the XBOX.

It's a shame we can't pass this account around to try it out. Maybe someone just needs to stream their computer out? :P

Eeh, looks like I forgot to click "post comment" yesterday. Well, good thing I always install "form history control" on my browsers, here it is (sorry if bits were answered in between) ^^"

Quoting: GuestDoes this update really work well enough with Halo?I'm considering to buy it for a Xmas present... :)

Most people can't play co-op. Achievements seems locked because of EAC (though maybe it works if you launch it with EAC?). Unlocks are disabled as well.

What seems to work quite well is singleplayer, as well as custom multiplayer games.

I'm waiting a bit before buying it myself, to see if the EAC situation could improve, and if they will implement split-screen. I would have bought it already if the MCC pack had been a "complete your collection" bundle.

I wonder if this recent RadeonSI fix [External Link] changes something on Wayland?
