Going through my usual scanning of all the "-next" Git subsystem branches of new code set to be introduced for the next Linux kernel merge window, a very notable addition was just queued up... Linux 6.10 is set to merge the NTSYNC driver for emulating the Microsoft Windows NT synchronization primitives within the kernel for allowing better performance with Valve's Steam Play (Proton) and Wine of Windows games and other apps on Linux.

2024, the most memorable year of Linux gaming so far :-)

[-] umbrella@lemmy.ml 13 points 7 months ago

why? i feel things are stabilizing and we are seeing incremental improvement instead of sweeping change now.

[-] 4am@lemm.ee 26 points 7 months ago

Oh no, all the projects are maturing and stabilizing? How boring, I don’t know how Linux gaming will survive

[-] umbrella@lemmy.ml 17 points 7 months ago

oh i didnt mean to imply this is bad, just that it isnt memorable.

The start of the environment stabilizing is memorable. People ten thousands of generations in the future will remember the exact day when Linux Gaming became stable.

Yeah, I'm team @umbrella@lemmy.ml on this one. It's important but it's not revolutionary

The Year of Memorable Linux

Nah mate, 2022 was when it started getting really good, GPL got rid of shader compilation stuttering (as well as dxvk-async related glitches), compatibility improved massively with improvements to both dxvk and vkd3d, and ray tracing finally started working

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
