    By saying most windows games he actually means minesweeper and solitaire but not pinball. Pinball has too many sweet fx.

      My first flatpak was Space Cadet Pinball, I still play it when I’m bored

    I’m assuming that it’ll still use an ordinary GPU such as Nvidia or AMD?

    If they don’t, they need to do a much better job than Intel did at launch of their GPUs.

    Maintaining at minimum full DX 8 and newer compatibility and all the esoteric fixes.

    Plus Vulkan and full OpenGL support.

    On top of all that, it’ll need a flawless x86_64 environment.

      I went to OpenSauce and ARM had a booth showing a ARM-powered gaming PC. It had an Nvidia graphics card in it and was running a Unity demo.

      As long as it supports PCI Express and the device manufacturers compile their drivers for ARM (which may require some changes depending on the details of the hardware integration), I don’t see any reason why an ARM gaming PC couldn’t use existing graphics cards.

        That’s awesome, I’m looking forward to that. Are you aware if this is on AMD or Nvidia’s roadmap to support?

          Nah, they wouldn’t tell me much. The guys running the booth were mostly salespeople anyway.

    In the same way the Bethesda games ‘just works’ or the same way Microsoft patching ‘just works’
