I’m asking because I just bought Cronos: The New Dawn on Steam because it has a native Linux port. To be fair, I would have bought it at some point anyway but I got excited when I saw it had a Linux port. The game is missing features that the Windows version has, It runs horribly at any setting other than very low. I think they only bothered testing for the SteamDeck. But if that’s the case, why does it support FSR 4.0? To be fair, the Windows version doesn’t run amazing either if you enable ray tracing but it still performs way better than the Linux port. Why do devs keep doing this? I’ve bought many Linux games that have problems that the Windows versions don’t have. Why even make a port if you’re not going to bother testing or optimizing it?
It really does feel like Linux desktop environments like GNOME and Cinnamon got stuck in 2009 and never evolved past that. Even the community feels reluctant to adopt tried-and-true design elements of modern desktop environments, like removing the title bar so users can take advantage of that extra space at the top. “Wouldn’t that cause issues?” Uh, no? It never has. It’s time to innovate, please.
You do know the reason GNOME is pushing CSDs is to get rid of titlebars right?
No, I wouldn’t know that because it’s not implemented and I don’t have a distro installed that uses it anymore.
We’re not talking about the same thing. GNOME did get rid of titlebars, most core applications use sidebars and the rest use headerbars - which are better integrated titlebars. I suggest reading the article.
