    This is the sort of honest discourse we should be having in the community. The recent advances are nothing short of amazing, and I can play tons of great games with my windows friends, but there are some games, that left me, and sometimes them with terrible experiences.

    Nothing like investing over an hour into a game with friends only to crash due to some Linux specific issue.

      Nothing like investing over an hour into a game with friends only to crash due to some Linux specific issue.

      There’s a feature called Compositor Handoffs coming to Wayland that’ll make it so crashes will never be a problem again. This feature can do 3 things :

      • Act as a seamless crash recovery system where the exact state of the application is restored.
      • Act as a fully robust hibernation system where the exact state of the application is restored after full device poweroff for an indefinite amount of time.
      • Pass the application and it’s state between supported Desktop Environments and Window Managers on the fly.

      We happen to have a working prototype rn, it just needs the kinks worked out.
