There is no Linux gaming without Proton, being feed from Windows games, developed on Windows, by Windows developers that will put up with this issues, because they still see no value on targeting Linux natively, and couldn't care less.
Linux might finally take off on the desktop if the normies that get Windows laptops and gaming rigs at Media Market and similar chains, finally get to them with Linux pre-installed.
Otherwise there will be a few HN folks getting them from System 76 and Tuxedo, Dell online store, and that is about it.
- coffeeling 8mo agoThe fucked up thing is Windows is the most stable Linux environment to build against. Linux overall relies far too much on the idea that the software is either actively maintained, or open source and can be recompiled for new systems.
- pjmlp 8mo agoI see an advantage of finally having the Year of Desktop Linux, given the current geopolitics. However until we start seeing those systems being sold on regular stores, with normies distros, it will always be as has been all over these years. The "everyone is going to migrate to Linux" meme keeps coming up since Windows XP Toy's R us UI, however here we are, Steam Hardware survey 2.20% after two decades, since XP.
- raxxorraxor 8mo agoProton serves as a target for now. You cannot have a target that is Linux like you have with Windows, you would have to target different distributions where users are additionally fragmented. Sadly, people getting notebooks in the first place become much rarer. I have seen gen alpha developers that want to start with tablet and smartphone. They don't even know that they are prisoners, just like us and our economic system.
