Rosenzweig, known for her Panfrost and Apple M1/M2 GPU driver work is now contracted by Valve to work on graphics driver development! Sounds like great news for Valve’s push for Linux gaming.

    It’s easily anticheat for me; I’d still like to play genshin or paladins but their anticheat either makes it very difficult/risky (bans) or just impossible

      Yup same. Aside from the few times a year my friends want to play some game with certain anticheats, I can’t remember the last time I had a game straight up not work. It’s been years.

      I’d had luck with Genshin Impact getting to work with Steam Deck. Sometimes some update interrupted it, but just required being patient a few days for people to figure something out. Obviously don’t want to spend money of course, since bans are a risk as you said.

      I do wish they would officially support Linux though. As user base grows maybe some day. I wish other handheld other than Valve were coming with some Linux variant than just Windows. Either way, being Steam verified has been something more devs have been trying to get which is good for Linux gaming.

    • Yeah the anticheat issue is very annoying. These games would run great on Linux if devs didn’t implement kernel level anticheat or would enable EAC / BattleEye support for proton. From what I can tell (just reading the docs) it seems extremely easy for devs to enable it. Maybe 1-2 hours of work.
