    It was super cool to see the GFX hardware support increase the last few years. Now we just need that GFX software from intel / amd / nvidia that is available on windows, taking advantage of that newly supported hardware. We have some, but it would be nice to see parity. Linux already has to translate the games to play, would be nice to get a little boost on the software / feature side.

    Edit. By software I’m talking about in game features.

      Stop, you’re making me too hard. I might be able to like, ditch Windows if that happens.

      Like FSR and such? That’s available on Linux (FSR 1.x is integrated into SteamOS for compositor-level upscaling). AFAIK AMD does not officially support FSR on Linux but it’s written in a way that it should work with minor integration work. It’s written with cross-platform support in mind, given that it’s targeting PlayStation etc. als well.

      Yeah, the sole reason I don’t have linux on my old laptop is that lenovo has completely proprietary video drivers for it. I’m talking “manufacturer’s installers don’t think there’s a video card there” proprietary.
