  • I don’t get wolfire’s point here. Yes steam takes a hefty 30% cut but game developers are free to sell directly if they want to. Unlike apple who have completely locked down the iOS app ecosystem or Google who allow sideloading but scares and warns people against downloading apps from non Play Store sources, steam does nothing to hinder games not sold through it. If there was a competitor who was as good as steam but took a smaller cut, then that competitor would have been the market leader in place of steam.







  • This is not a Linux specific issue though it’s worse on Linux because vulkan shader processing happens for almost every game. I remember people on windows complaining that The Last of Us was compiling shaders for several hours when first launched and that if shader compilation was skipped the game was laggy as hell(which is not a surprise considering how poor the game ran even after shader compilation)




  • Do you get adaptive sync options in the display section of the settings (present beside the refresh rate selection option)¿?

    If yes there are 3 settings - off, automatic and always. Setting it to automatic means that vrr will be used for full screen applications including XWayland applications(would have been stupid if it did not work with XWayland as almost all games run through XWayland). Off and always are self explanatory I guess
