Let's talk about Wine & SteamPlay and how it compares to running Windows 10 inside VMware Player for Linux Gaming. SteamPlay is a few features built into the Steam on Linux. It makes it so you no longer need Lutris or Play On Linux to run your favorite Steam Windows Games because, with Steam Play, they are built into your normal games library in Steam! SteamPlay is *not* Wine. It is the brand-new for an open-source project called Proton which includes Wine, Dxvk, Ffmpeg, and more projects. I've covered VMware Workstation Player in other videos but I've never compared gaming on VMware with Wine. Attempting to use VMware as a gaming environment has it's own issues because VMware was never designed with performant 3D rendering in mind. The bottom line is - in many cases, VMware offers better compatibility with games and applications than Wine does. However, because VMware is virtualization and Wine is not, SteamPlay is going to offer better performance in general. ~~ Support the channel!

NVidia is known on Linux for their excellent driver support. Let's use this entry level card to measure just how good their driver support is. This video is not meant to be a response of any kind to my previous AMD video. I actually had both of these videos planned back in December but never got around to them until now. Lots of folks disagreed with my assertion that AMD cards and drivers aren't great on Linux, especially when compared to their Nvidia counterparts. While this video is not meant to be any kind of benchmark, it does show that even entry level Nvidia cards do just fine on Linux. The distro I used for these clips was Fedora 27 on my EVGA Nvidia GT 730 low-profile card and driver version 387.34. Roughly same performance can be seen in Linux Games on Ubuntu 17.10. ⬇︎Social Links ⬇︎ ✔︎ Discord: https://discord.gg/tVyBHAU ✔︎ Website: http://www.egee.io ✔︎ Twitter: https://twitter.com/egee_irl ---- ?
