Problems for Linux Gaming

[kenzieduckmoo]

Maybe its time to stop trying to adapt windows programs to run on linux, and start pushing for linux native.

"Valve i'm counting on you. Its our last stand" - Vulkan

[almosthelpless]

I think that Valve's decision to invest in proton to increase compatability with Steam OS has really driven Linux gaming forward. As long as Steam holds its marketshare and continues investing in proton and developers increase Linux compatibility, we should still see some progress.

Vulkan has two aces in the hole though; It's called Switch and PS5. Neither are running DX12.

So Vulkan has the same standing as OpenGL had; OpenGL supported everything including Windows, but not XBox. Vulkan also supports every platform except XBox, where you currently *have* to use DX12. If there is an open source Vulkan-to-DX12 translation layer, however, it would support all platforms, and then game over MS.

That needs to happen soon though...

according to the people developing/updating Rainbow six siege, as far as i understand, 'Vulkan is better than DX12', but vulkan does not have the grand daddy microsoft to make everyone swallow it

Yeah, no way they're going Microsoft Store only. Bethesda would lose like 99% of their revenue stream.

Microsoft and Bethesda talking about merging together:
"You got bugs, I got bugs... We have so much in common, we should work together!"

[lauriekimani]

Embrace, Extend, Extinguish...
Microsoft doing it again....

What happened to the US anti Monopoly laws.?

[csabahorvath]

It's not hopeless because yet MS hasn't bought a company that can write good operating system....

[urmensch]

If they really make Everything a Windows Store exclusive then we will also lose Modding Support on the Bethesda games.

Knowing the history of Microsoft, for me it is time to say goodbye to Doom.

[aethanfoot]

Valve could pull an epic and sue microsoft for monopolistic behaviour, and trying to create a monopoly.

Next video on autoplay: "Microsoft Should be VERY Afraid - A Noob's Guide to Linux Gaming". Thanks LTT, you warned them and they listened :P

[serenty]

Microsoft being the same microsoft in the 2000s with Apple. Smh.

[TheJackiMonster]

I really hope the next Doom won't use DirectX 12. The developers did an amazing job by optimizing these games to make use of the Vulkan API. It would be a bad decision to force them use a different API, bad for Linux but also bad for game development in general.

[gwolfe]

I feel MS will do what MS has always done, and it's not what's best for the user.

[JasonSchoeman]

Seems like a few corporations will end up owning every single tech company in the world. 1984 much?

[OldieBugger]

Microsoft's motto: If you can't beat them, buy them.

i have a little hope... the master cheif collection is a recent example of hope... works fine in proton.
