  • The issue is one of licensing, not technology. There’s all kinds of patents in the space, and using free codecs could still infringe them. DirectX doesn’t have the same patent protection. I believe in theory you could make a fully open source Linux native version of DirectX.

    For more info from someone who knows more than me, see here.



  • If GE received a Cease and Desist, that would be frustrating, but linux gaming would go on. If Proton got a Cease and Desist, that could be catastrophic to linux gaming. Valve could even theoretically get banned from working on linux gaming (like the Yuzu devs got banned from working on emulation). It’s just not worth the risk for compatibility/performance for a smaller proportion of games.

    Very high priority isn’t a number that you especially want low (or high), in fact it’s probably not good for it to be 0. It’s just what is considered important to work on. Once those are fixed, even if no new problem crops up, they’ll just relabel existing bugs that they want to focus on getting fixed.

    This is in contrast to the 15-minute bugs, that you do want to go to zero.



  • You might find just the inbuilt linux (crostini) under chromeos is fine…

    Crostini is only sort of built-in Linux. It’s more like a built-in Linux VM, and performance suffers a bit because of it. If they’re not doing anything heavy, you should be correct, it’ll be fine.
