Did you open a ticket with the Pipewire team?
Wine/DXVK (aka Proton) now runs native Windows games very well. We don’t need native Linux games to say that Linux gaming is a success. I gave the Elden Ring example on purpose. It’s a Windows game, but runs much more smoothly on Linux with Proton than on Windows (thanks to DXKV caching). This is a huge success: an AAA game, onrie.of the biggest hits of 2022, that runs more smoothly on Linux than on Windows.
There is an xkcd for everything.
feddit.de has some activity.
I tried Beehaw, but gave up after seeing that the downvote button is disabled.
Apple had a headstart on Google. So Google made a bet on open source to help adoption and accelerate development. That bet paidoff and Android’s market share today is much much larger than Apple’s. But Google has been trying to sabotage Android’s open source root ever since Android won the mobile wars.
Probably yes. Vulkan is everywhere now. For example I use a lot of Gamescope to play (upscale) older games and it uses Vulkan.
