*Dxvk guy When he was asked about it, he said he was not in talk with Valve, when in reality the negro was working for them since January
Luis Robinson
Damn, it even works with VR. I'm seriously very impressed. If this runs well this is gonna be huge for Linux
Lucas Martinez
It's going to be great for PC in general since it's another shot at proprietary DirectX. Hopefully devs don't use DXVK as an excuse, but still better than not.

Meanwhile I am coding my engine against .NetStandard.
Isaiah Young
cool bro
Jackson Ramirez
*CRACKS* *SIPS* It even supports quake. Now this is epic.
This needed to exist *before* they tried to make Steam Machines a thing.
Tyler Gomez
Quite impressive list of supported titles: Beat Saber Bejeweled 2 Deluxe Doki Doki Literature Club! DOOM DOOM II: Hell on Earth DOOM VFR Fallout Shelter FATE FINAL FANTASY VI Geometry Dash Google Earth VR Into The Breach Magic: The Gathering - Duels of the Planeswalkers 2012 Magic: The Gathering - Duels of the Planeswalkers 2013 Mount & Blade Mount & Blade: With Fire & Sword NieR: Automata PAYDAY: The Heist QUAKE S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl Star Wars: Battlefront 2 Tekken 7 The Last Remnant Tropico 4 Ultimate Doom Warhammer® 40,000: Dawn of War® - Dark Crusade Warhammer® 40,000: Dawn of War® - Soulstorm

Linux is a kernel that runs in Android and GNU/Linux.
Sebastian Price
I know Richard Don't worry
Thomas Ross
Linux just needs games and it will grow 10x in a year
Daniel Hill
Sheet yes I am so going to build a Lunix gaming box just for this. Thanks gaben.
James Martin
This is actually impressive, unironically
Chase Hernandez
Ultimately, it doesn't matter. Either by official name or otherwise, someone could just do the same concept today with the work that's been done by Valve. Either with Windows and big picture mode, Linux and bpm, SteamOS, SteamOS on a Valve certified device, something you made yourself, it's all to the same end.
Jason Brooks
>literally no more reasons to use windows I haven't played a single game in months but I don't want to switch my main computer over to mint because I would lose all of the shit I bought and I couldn't use office.
Please. This. Soon. I don't want to be spied on or used for botnet storage anymore.
If it works as well as lutris then this is awesome
I thought i heard gabe say he didn't want to use wine because it discourages native ports. I guess he realized you have to have native linux users for companies to want to make native linux versions.
Juan Turner
Damn I expected this eventually what with the advent of dxvk, gpu-passthrough, looking glass, WINE getting better at running games as intended than modern windows but I did not expect official support like this until 2020 the future is now and it just werks
Dylan Garcia
It's already available in the beta client on Linux right now, afaik
Landon Russell
Can we please for once discuss the actual technology and not the laws and social politics around it.
Useless unless someone can compile and use it without the botnet DRM program.
Henry Hughes
>doki doki lit club Why did they mention this at all? The game is available for linux but not on steam
Caleb Hall
>into the steam client OH NO NO NO NO NO GOG PLS SAVE US
Easton Robinson
>Steam Machines dead concept, never going to catch on. why? consider the price of the Playstation 4 Pro. At that price-point you're able to get a GPU and perhaps even a small case. You still need PSU, RAM, motherboard, harddrive... and so on. It'd be more expensive than a console even at massive volume.
Neat Why would gay ben even care enough to spend resources on this in the first place though?
Logan Wright
yes its on github and you can try literally any windows application with it.
Isaac White
Yeah, why anyone thought valve would have the necessary connections to produce fully modular systems with OEMs under/on par with consoles is ridiculous. The only option would be to release a console, flat out, but that just ruined the entire point especially with steam link existing.
Nicholas Adams
Hmm... I want to be cynical about this, but it sounds really cool on paper. I hope Valve don't just lose interest in it at some point. There would be quite literally no reason to ever use Windows again if muh gaymes worked.
Jose Martinez
>Once built, the dist/ directory will contain the files which can be distributed through Steam.
So it's very likely useless for anything unless being ran through the botnet DRM software.
Nolan Bell
Microsoft threat of killing app sideloading on their platform
Lucas Fisher
Next week: Valve releases custom Linux distribution for PS4 and XBox, running Windows games.
Cooper Scott
Only mentions windows and mac on their website.
Aiden Parker
>What is reading comprehension?
Alexander Powell
I guess now we'll see if Microsoft really loves Linux.
You have literally no idea what you're talking about.
Jackson Miller
Week after: Console hardware is ass. Oops sorry, everyone already knows this.
Aiden Ortiz
You do also recognize that there's loads of open source software that doesn't actually work on a variety of systems and is exclusive to certain platforms... right? Pretty sure you can even find a bunch of windows stuff open sourced nowadays. Unless Valve has actually been working with competitors to get this shit out the door properly and available for truly anyone (which seems explicitly contradictory since they mention integrating it deeply within Steam), it's DOA. Not buying into another walled garden.
By far the most interesting games on there to me are Nier and Tekken. Not even because they're so good, but because they both use Denuvo. That means that Valve have got Denuvo working via this wrapper, which is kinda nuts.
Josiah Brooks
Feel free to show me you running Proton by itself with zero, I mean Z E R O Steam or Valve DRM client botnet active.
Do you really think M$ would have the balls to just do that?
Ayden Jackson
Doesn't necessarily mean you must distribute through steam Run the executable and it'll work without steamworks
Caleb Reyes
>Q: Any plans for macOS support?
>While Wine and Proton work on macOS, there are no plans to support the new Steam Play functionality on macOS at the moment. HAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAA THIS ONE IS FOR REJECTING THE LINK APP FOR THE IPHONE, TIMMY
doesn't help how cynical Apple is about real world applications on their desktop ecosystems
Cameron Powell
Yeah. But I dunno if you're like me, but I rather downgrade quality in options than to boot windows up to play one game. It will be awesome if it just werks tho.
Christopher Thomas
if only those mcfucknuggets would finally compile their piece of shit steam client in 64 bit, so I didn't have to download every library twice.
Nolan Adams
why include literal mobile games when the list has actual real games?
Liam Fisher
Windows S already does that Adobe and Co will abide releasing store apps, but Gaben is doomed if that happens
Christopher Martinez
It's been 3 years now and it still hasn't happened. They even turned 10 S into just a mode you can turn off with a button for free.
Steam is LITERALLY just a web app (it even goes against a lot of windows software standards to shove its own shitty implementations everywhere), he could release it on the store tomorrow if he wanted to. He won't tho because >muh profitz The funniest part about this all is that nobody who uses linux regularly wants Steam to have any foothold. They have absolutely zero care for producing high quality software that follows well documented guidelines. As we've seen with Steam's launch on Linux in the very first place, that shit was broken garbage.
Hopefully literally ANYONE ELSE is able to come forward with better solutions.
Ryder Campbell
Search dxvk wine on YouTube
Evan Bell
>As we've seen with Steam's launch on Linux in the very first place, that shit was broken garbage.
I never had a problem with Steam on Linux, but then again I didn't try it with AMD so its probably YMMV.
You can't release a store in the store, afaik, only apps with purchases that are taxes by the host store (Microsoft)
Jackson Reyes
Can't believe my next gaymen build in 1-2 year time will be Linux. It's basically the only thing I don't use Linux for.
Goodbye forever Wangblows!
Mason Ortiz
If they would have done it, why wouldn't they stick with 10 S? That doesn't make any sense. I think we can all agree the M$ of today is pretty different than the M$ that produced 95 (for better or worse), therefore that also doesn't make any sense.
I know steam had issues with GNOME and Unity but I don't consider those Steam issues.
Mason Perez
That makes sense, they also said you could try using other games on steam that weren't whitelisted. If that's the case then I'm probably gonna say adios, windows.
Justin Fisher
I mean they would also have to not make Steam so shitty as it's currently breaking at least a dozen policies not including store within a store policy. But ultimately you're right it just comes down to profits.
Jackson Rodriguez
I know it's on the list, hence my question. If you have played Nier on PC, you probably know about the fuckton of bugs it has, which needs fanmade mods to fix most of them. I wonder if by "supported game" Valve means a game that works the same as it does on windows, or a game that runs without bugs.
Robert Foster
>Warhammer® 40,000: Dawn of War® - Dark Crusade Aww fuck yes
You're literally proving macfags right by falseflagging like this. So good job I guess. Of course the former. It's not black magic, you can't literally make a poorly coded game somehow run flawlessly on a system it was never intended for.
Nathaniel Ross
gaymes are literally the only thing stopping me from a complete linux switch at this point. I really hope this takes off and gets continued support. Windows 10 is utter cancer.
