There's been no word of Vulkan support in the public Windows build though, as far as we know it only uses DirectX 12
So they have Vulkan support because of stadia but won't release it publicly? That's kinda stupid

Modern anticheats are basically kernel rootkits which go even to the point of trying to checksum your drivers and inspect how they work. They're basically as invasive as they get. They obviously can't hook into Linux kernel so they react by just banning the player.
This is why I have a separate Windows PC for gaming, that I do not ever put personal information into, or use even to sign into my personal, non-gaming accounts (e.g. Gmail). Perhaps not a good solution for everyone, but I think that's what the world has come to.
I really need Steam to add a "Might work in Linux, worth your time to try, but not guaranteed" icon along with the usuals. Because there's a bunch of stuff I'd like to play but I refuse to purchase if I'd have to fire up another machine for it.
I wonder if they've looked into to doing the same on Mac. Just ship some Wine like shim.

It's also not as trivial as just flipping to "Linux" in a combo box and re-exporting. Getting the game to run well requires work, from writing additional platform dependent code, through fixing issues caused by changing the graphics backend (unless you use OpenGL on Windows, which you probably don't) to a lot of additional QA needed to make sure your Linux build still runs after the latest changes. I'm a solo game de…
For your game did you open an LLC to publish it. I'm debating doing that now, but it comes off as a ton of work where I don't particularly think I'll make money .

How is this functionally different than any other game server dealing with player game states? Players would get even more warping and inexplicable behaviour as their state differed from the server state. You would just as likely get the same warping in Among Us as the game arbitrates the various players' states.
The conceit here is that rendering happens server-side, so visible game-state latency is replaced by input latency.
If you're interesting in this sort of thing, check out [2] which goes into depth on how to synchronise game simulations in a bunch of different ways.

I got Flight Simulator working on linux... this is a dream come true. Thanks Proton/Steam :)
Apparently Falcon BMS works on Proton too - for those unfamiliar it's an extremely detailed (study-) sim of the F-16, combined with a dynamic campaign in which the quality of your virtual piloting affects the surrounding war rather than just missions like DCS. As soon as DCS actually knows what threads are we're in business.

Proton is still very new, and it's night-and-day better than any previous gaming experience on Linux. I don't think past trends necessarily apply
It's a fancy version of Wine...
UX was the biggest obstacle to gaming on Linux, and proton solves it
Another Linux gamer. I seriously don't miss windows anymore. At this point I'm not worried about compatibility, but rather shitty game companies banning you the second they figure out you're playing on linux. This is especially an issue in PvE heavy games that have only small PvP elements. Looking at you Destiny 2. I really wish companies stopped their draconian policies about Linux gaming. Or at the very least just…
I was seriously considering adding Linux support for my game, that already has turn-based multiplayer, and this thread was the last thing I needed to convince myself it could work. Performance may be an issue. I wonder if people would be ok with electron games sold on steam running on linux...
