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.
Oh no, all the projects are maturing and stabilizing? How boring, I don’t know how Linux gaming will survive
oh i didnt mean to imply this is bad, just that it isnt memorable.
Yeah, I’m team @umbrella@lemmy.ml on this one. It’s important but it’s not revolutionary
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.
