The next Ubuntu Summit is approaching on November 3rd - 5th in Riga, Latvia and this year there's a good few interesting Linux gaming talks that you might want to keep an eye on.
Here's some of the talks going on:
- Linux Gaming beyond Steam: Building native support for GOG, Epic, and more - Dennis Sädtler (Legendary / OBS Project) + Paweł Lidwin (Heroic Games Launcher).
- Feature detection for games, letting machines figure out system requirements - Mathieu Comandon (Lutris).
- How Steam Play/Proton makes Gaming on Linux awesome - Thomas Crider (Proton-GE, Nobara, Red Hat, Lutris).
- Snapshot in time: leveraging Snap and Flatpak to preserve our software legacy - Mathieu Comandon (Lutris).
- Proton - Up and Down The Stream - Arkadiusz Hiler (CodeWeavers).
- The Many APIs Of Gaming On Proton - Arkadiusz Hiler (CodeWeavers).
- You Ship, We Ship: Developing Open Source Culture - Leo McElroy (Hack Club) - mentions a build it yourself handheld gaming console.
At least some of the event will be available on YouTube streamed via the Ubuntu OnAir channel.
I was actually invited to attend this year, but sadly cross-country travel for me is a no. So hopefully they will have all of the talks up to watch easily once the event is over.

Given how gaming typically drives adoption of technology, it's nice to see multiple talks on the subject scheduled for this event. Looking forward to hearing more!

Should have called the talk 'How Steam Play and especially the formidable GE-Proton makes Gaming on Linux awesome' and then just pretend to have never come across the term 'glorious eggroll'.How Steam Play/Proton makes Gaming on Linux awesome - Thomas Crider (Proton-GE, Nobara, Red Hat, Lutris).That's GloriousEggroll!
'Never heard of it. Sounds dope though!'

Yep, you can thank the desire for internet porn, for the accelerated development of display technology in the early 90's. (i.e. suddenly there was a real need for higher res, 16 million colour displays :-) )

That combined with the history of computers in general having deep roots within military usage.
