Also, when/if Wayland becomes mainstream and if it needs GPU
driver changes, we can count on GPU manufacturers to drag
their feet as much as possible. Having Valve and a mature
gaming scene here will help a lot.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

don't know how others are but running winDOS in VMware is even slower than
native.

For years, there have been people who have claimed that the unavailability of
working version(s) of their favourite game(s) was the most significant reason
that stopped them from switching to Linux.
It would be sweet irony if that switched to being the driving reason *for* a
switch.

"Linux in some VM or Hypervisor. I was wondering if somebody could hazard
an opinion if the later is capable of delivering the performance ones
expects?"
Not with VirtualBox. That's got a fixed limit of 128MB for the video card so
the performance is a little lacking.
VBox runs a standard desktop well but it's not for gaming.
I have never understood why the limit is 128MB. Any ideas?[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
