That’s not why. There’s a very high chance Valve is actively working on new standalone VR since some years, there are regular leaks confirming some progress.

It’s rumored to be for new standalone VR.

But, well, future is a long time, especially on Valve Time. ;)

Well, let me rephrase it: it’s a completely different discussion if you want to run Windows games on ARM without ridiculous performance losses due to translation from x86.

Until we get Proton running with near-native speeds on ARM like on x86 perf/watt isn’t really that important.

It’s a completely different discussion if you throw ARM into the mix.

Yeah, I think open should be the new one.

Maybe you can try to check if you’re using legacy drivers or the new version that’s party open-source.
I think Nvidia switched to those for their most recent cards not long ago.

Just… do it? It’s just a normal Linux underneath.

Also, fun fact: Kagi owner believes only criminals want privacy and GDPR doesn’t apply to them, because they said so!

No, it is insane. I don’t know of other countries that allow a corporation to just not allow you to sue them and force you into arbitration.

Right, that’s why I’m not convinced this will ever actually release.

Abandoning all previous work, and the fact that new devs don’t exactly have experience with this genre…
I’m still gonna give it a try, but I’m not hopeful.

I’m surprised it’s not cancelled yet.

I think at this point its development is even more troubled than the original, which is kinda impressive in its own way.

That’s not really on Valve though.

It’s the hardware makers that needs to step up and make sure their Linux drivers are well written.

I’m tired of having to install patched kernels to get basic functionality on laptops (looking at you Asus!).
