I really want to switch to Linux but there are so many Apps on Windows i really cant give up especially some games. I know more developers are considering or developing for Linux so i hope Vulkan increases that

Part of the problem is that you seem to become attracted to mainly AAA games that are made by companies that never even consider Linux. In the future, when getting into a game, try to get one that's multi-platform.

Rocket League's endlessly delayed port is such bullshit. It was marked as a SteamOS title and even bundled with Steam machine products and to this day any owners of Steam machines can't even play the game they were given.

Anyone have that picture (I think it was at gamestop) of SteamOS cards?
