Rosenzweig, known for her Panfrost and Apple M1/M2 GPU driver work is now contracted by Valve to work on graphics driver development! Sounds like great news for Valve's push for Linux gaming.

I do and it's awesome, I very rarely need Windows now, like twice a year lol.

What's the biggest problem for you when it comes to gaming on Linux?

[–] saplyng@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It's easily anticheat for me; I'd still like to play genshin or paladins but their anticheat either makes it very difficult/risky (bans) or just impossible

Yeah the anticheat issue is very annoying. These games would run great on Linux if devs didn't implement kernel level anticheat or would enable EAC / BattleEye support for proton. From what I can tell (just reading the docs) it seems extremely easy for devs to enable it. Maybe 1-2 hours of work.

Yup same. Aside from the few times a year my friends want to play some game with certain anticheats, I can't remember the last time I had a game straight up not work. It's been years.
