It's really impressive the amount of progress on Wine, specifically in the past 3-5 years. I mostly thank Valve and the gaming community for much of this. Not sure if any of this came out of Google's Stadia. But these efforts really make gaming on Linux more possible. Proton in particular far easier for most than anything that came before.
Not everything runs, but Linux on the desktop is definitely a real option for many more people today than even a couple years ago.
- Scaevolus 7y agoStadia doesn't use Wine-- it's Vulkan on Linux directly.
- tracker1 7y agoThanks... I just know quite a few developments came out of Google's efforts.. and wasn't sure if any of the game studios were using wine to package their games on Stadia, which would still be Linux and Vulkan.
- MikusR 7y agoThe only relation of Google and Wine I can find is them paying CodeWeavers to bring Picasa and Photoshop CS2 to Linux, that was 12 years ago.
