If Linux was the issue, how do you explain the steam deck’s library of games? This is really simple: people no longer trust Google.

- monlockandkey 4y agoProton is the explanation to the steam deck library. Stadia came out 2019 and probably has been in development for a few years prior. Proton is relatively a recent thing. The issue is in a low latency environment, translating directx to vulkan may have overhead.
- SXX 4y agoProton is just pre-built Wine with Valve patches. Wine existed for years and DXVK wasn't Valves' own project. They just sponsored some open source project and driver improvements and integrated it into Steam. I seriously doubt that if you count every single developer that Valve hired to work on it as well as sponsored 3rd-party developers there likely gonna be 25-30 people or less. I pretty sure that more people worked on Stadia within Google than all people working in Valve on all of their projects.
- lmm 4y agoValve put a whole lot of work over several years into making that possible (including the failed Steam Machines).
