https://partner.steamgames.com/ says there are 132 million monthly active Steam users, so that’s more like 2.5 million Linux users on Steam.

If only they supported Linux. Proton support out of the box is the biggest selling point for me.

60Hz has been the standard (at least in the US) since CRTs. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a 30Hz display.

Benchmarks mean nothing.

You’re free to suggest another method of comparing the two languages’ performance. This is the best we’re have, and Rust wins in every single benchmark shown there.

These aren’t the results of code written by an average programmer.

Citation needed.

I like Rust and all but we do need to admit it doesn’t magically solve all our problems.

I never said it did. I simply pointed out that it’s demonstrably faster than Swift.

Citation granted.

About half of games with anticheat work on Linux: https://areweanticheatyet.com/

Stellar Blade is a single player game.

Stuff like what? That article says it’s not shutting down.

This is completely incorrect. Their contract states that you can’t sell Steam keys for less elsewhere, which is entirely fair in my opinion. If your game is on multiple platforms or storefronts, you can sell it for whatever price you want there. The fact is that nobody does; they list it for the same everywhere and pocket the difference if someone buys on EGS.

If this was true, games would cost 18% less on EGS because they only take 12%. Shockingly enough, they cost the same.

No.

If it’s “barely a problem in practice” why did you bother to mention it like it’s an active performance issue?

It was created to part fools with their money. It isn’t that this post is a scam; it’s that crypto as a whole is.

This post is so full of inaccuracies that I don’t know where to begin. I’ll just mention the first thing I noticed: just because drivers are compiled with the kernel doesn’t mean they’re all loaded at runtime. modprobe exists for a reason.

Stars is not shutting down, the old rewards system that Stars replaced is.

Still very much WIP.

Try putting a laptop running Windows to sleep for a week and see if it has any battery left.

Because support is missing from SteamVR, existing games, or both.

There’s a Monado driver in the works already.

None of these features are usable in SteamVR, or if they are, aren’t supported by any games, like HDR.
