Very nice... nice to see another big game arriving for Linux. But where is 'Depth Charge' now and what about 'Spacious Skies'? I can't count the weeks that I've been waiting to find this out

If only a very famous AAA title would be released any time soon and have a much better performance that might be good adverstisement to change to linux. I feel like the linux foundation should team up with Valve to advertise Linux (as a gaming platform).

The Linux Foundation is NOT the right answer for this problem, at least for now. The problem is they need a stable product before they can advertise it. I'm hopeful that in a few years, all drivers will run Wayland great and Vulkan will be smooth as butter. When that happens a developer can create a Vulkan game and run it on Linux with minimal porting work. Maybe we'll get snaps working or some other flatpack solution.

Right now we have frankly a mess. Steam is half targeting Ubuntu and half targeting Debian and that's already more work than they really want to do. When a game comes out, the Fedora folks, and the Arch folks, etc come out of the woodworks because there's something funky. On top of all of these, people STILL want better performance than Windows.
