With the advent off Stadia (the google game streaming service) becoming a thing, i couldn't keep my mind of its Server infrastructure seem to run on a Linux Distribution. So will this mean that more Developers will be pushed to develop for Linux and the Vulcan API as the whole server infrastructure runs on it? I still use Windows for pc gaming as this is the only viable option IMO, Sure you can put Wine on Linux and stuff but that still gives errors and just outright doesn't support every game plus your using CPU resources to create a bunch of Windows resources. As for the rest of my daily life computing needs i use Linux (Ubuntu / Rhel) at work, but i will happily switch to a Linux distro. if every game would run on Linux.
If this new Games as a Service means that more game will support Linux sign me up!
