Direct3D to Vulkan gets even better with DXVK 1.7

Weren't there attempts to create mesa front ends for dx as well for higher dx versions? It would be interesting to see if the vk layer has disadvantages due to more converting needed

Not necessarily, it may just not be part of the keynote and come independently later.

Quoting: ShmerlNothing on their previous driver open sourcing statement? Sounds like things aren't getting better on the Linux front.

It's literally a hardware event.
OSSing the drivers wouldn't fix anything btw, it'd only make them uncompetitive for a few years, just as it happened with amd. Plus who wants to stay on bleeding-edge just to get a driver update?
They had it planned for the original in person event, so regardless of solving problems, it would still be interesting what it is. At least we can laugh at it ;)

Do we have a time frame for focal packages? I can't use the old Eoan Packages to fulfill Dependancies.

What have you been playing recently and what do you think about it?

Xcom 2: Covert Infiltration :
Man i hate and love it at the same time, nothing is more difficult and rewarding at the same time than this game.
I lost countless missions and campaigns to bad planning and greed. Still i come back every time. Phoenix Point doesn't manage to copy that feeling.

World of Warcraft, it is time for a linux native solution blizzard :)

Shadow Tactics, in the spirit if desperados and robin hood, this game looks great and is fun. I hope the sequel desperados 3 by the same studio will be on Linux too

You can already play Age of Empires series and all Blizzard games on Linux with recent Wine version.

Yes we can, but the less work needed the better.

In some combinations of gpu and driver wine has trouble with a good framerate so a native version would be great.
Blizzard already disables a few nvidia specific things when detecting wine and rumor has it they had a linux client internatlly. So maybe Feral would be able to polish this.

MMORPGs are difficult though, they are a moving target and need constant maintenance.

Of course i will also vote for the Battle.net Games, although i doubt Activision Blizzard will listen
