Linux hardware vendor System76 has begun teasing their new 'open-source computer'

That's simply not true, which you could have discovered yourself if you've visited the link you are talking about.

ok, there is an issue here...
in the URL and in the end of the video, it says thel.io
but on the page and in many parts of the subtitles of the video it says thelio.

looks like an confusion in branding...

" Their contributions to MESA mean that we get better compatibility and performance out of Intel and AMD GPUs on Linux. "
he mean AMD GPU, APU or both?

Valve have now pushed out all the recent beta changes in Steam Play's Proton to everyone

Quoting: Guest. If the support isn't all there, then it should not be getting that icon.
those games are supported by VALVE, that was their solution for those developers who wont gona bother porting.
they white listed Nier Automata then selves, at least this title (and the other ones white listed by then) should have an icon.

otherwise this effort is pointless, what is the point of being able to run an game if you dont know that you can run it?
how this will bring more users to linux?

they should add an icon to compatible games...

A multi-vendor extension for transform feedback in Vulkan is being worked on to help DXVK and others

I mean, they want to so bad they can taste it, they'd love to make themselves believe they could get away with it, but basically they know the reason they get to keep selling licenses is that for the end-user Windows seems to be "free" (as in no $$$). They know people wouldn't sit still for subscription-only.
In general, Microsoft have shot themselves in the foot repeatedly; their fundamental preinstall advantage is so great that their mistakes have so far cost them little.
I don't know, Adobe seem to be doing pretty well with their subscription service, they prove there are plenty of people out there dumb enough to pay & pay & pay & keep paying forever for something that used to be free.

adobe products were never free.
and they have features that the free alternatives lack, pay something may be bad but not having an job or taking hours to do some works is worse.

Quoting: garpuSo, granted, there is support with DXVK coming from Valve. But if we regular users want to show the devs some appreciation, what's the best way to do it? Do they have a patreon? FOSS projects can flounder and die, when there isn't enough support (financial that is...computers and electricity cost, not to mention programmers need to eat and pay rent.)

I know WINE can be a touchy subject, but if Windows 10 does go subscription only, having an alternative for gaming that's easy, works, and runs with people's favorite games will attract a lot of people to Linux.

i guess what we can do is, keep buying games and playing then on linux.

as for MS shooting then selves in the foot, not gona happen.
