Proton isn’t perfect, and works much better on Windows Vulkan games vs Windows DirectX. So even windows developers are choosing vulkan just to ensure better compatibility.
- pjmlp 4y agoNumbers? Still looking forward how long it will stay relevant, specially with everyone and their dog releasing portable PC and Android handhelds. LG and Asus are arriving this year. Then there is the whole Geoforce Now and XBox Cloud, where those DirectX games can be streamed everywhere.

(Edit: GeForce Now apparently runs fewer of my steam games than Linux. Certain games detect and block it. Same with android, but for different reasons.)

- BuckRogers 4y agoYour posts have always been so clear minded, and well-informed. If there were a way to follow a user on HN, you would be one of the few if not the only person on that list for me. Every post I see from you, it’s clear you’re informed on the market, you know how everything works, and you are very rarely wrong. I just wanted to say that in my opinion having used HN for many years, you’re in the top 1% of users for contributions. I think you would be successful as some sort of IT and business analyst. Or maybe a blog or YouTube channel commenting on industry events.

- seba_dos1 4y agoNothing changed. I'm not much of a gamer, yet I have encountered a couple of Windows games that don't run on modern Windows very well but can be played flawlessly under Wine myself.
