F1 2016 won't be coming to Linux, as sales of F1 2015 weren't strong enough

I played and enjoyed F1 2012? I believe.. But I haven't played the sequels. I heard 2015 was one of the worst of the series, so maybe not the best one to bring to Linux.

Actually I can't get behind a new F1 game for each season. They should charge for a base Formula 1 game then allow you to buy yearly updates/episodes that are cheaper than a full blown game for new car models and tracks.

I've never really looked too closely at Xonotic but it kinda reminds me of UT99 in how it plays from watching the video.
HEVN, a first-person sci-fi adventure game should have Linux support

The atmosphere is very well done. Elements of it remind me of classic fps games I used to enjoy.

Quoting: QuenestilIs he working for Epic or is just a fan?

He's not employed by Epic, he contributes patches and bug fixes on his own time. He's been mentioned on here and other Linux sites before, anyone can help support him on patreon if they really want.

Yaakuro shows off SteamVR on Unreal Engine 4 using Vulkan on Linux

It actually might be a good thing that OpenVR uses Vulkan to give a swift kick in the behind at Epic to get Vulkan working properly on desktop. AFAIK it runs but a few features are broken, most of the focus has gone towards mobile Vulkan support instead.

Good thing we have people like Yaakuro working on Linux support, but I expect more from Epic.

Finally got to try the radv driver on my R9 270. Seems smooth enough on the Fusion update, only getting a small boost in performance over OpenGL, but it runs nice enough.

Ive got the original non-HD versions of SS, but the performance in BFE was too bad for me to play on OpenGL when I tried years ago. admittedly I haven't tried since radeonsi got tons more performance. So maybe it is playable now.

But I will definitely play a Vulkan version once stable.
Star Citizen to use Vulkan instead of DirectX 12 and drop DirectX 11 eventually

This is good even if its just from a PR sense. Hopefully other developers have been taking notice of what ID was able to so with Doom, Bethesda's Vulkan announcement and now Star Citizen. These are big wins for Vulkan and us Linux gamers win by default.
OpenGL threaded GL dispatch is now in Mesa-git, should improve a few games performance

I wish I could test this but I don't have time right now. Samsai has a Radeon based system doesn't he? I wonder if he could do some testing for us ;-)

I own the original big box CD version of this. A friend recommended it as I had a bunch of other classic adventure titles I was collecting about 10 years back. Real fun game.
