DESCRIPTION:I want to talk about how good gaming on Linux is\, as compared 
 to Windows. With the constant improvements in proton and other FOSS librar
 ies and tools\, this might just be the year of the Linux desktop.\n\nThere
 's been a >50% year on year growth in the number of people gaming on Linux
 \, and this is only going to grow. The major boost came when Valve introdu
 ced the Steam Deck which basically revolutionized gaming on Linux. With th
 e upcoming Steam Machine\, we might just make up the majority of the marke
 t\, overtaking Windows for good.\n\nI want to talk a bout the basic techni
 cal aspects of the entire gaming pipeline on Linux\, and introduce people 
 to some of the most important FOSS tools and libraries which help us play 
 games on Linux. Few of these are proton\, dxvk\, vk3d\, vk3d-proton\, and 
 I'll also be talking about how Nvidia went partially open source for Linux
  and why it helps the community. Might also briefly touch on the work goin
 g on with NVK and Nova.\n\nI'll also talk about the basics of how to setup
  an Ubuntu desktop for gaming. I'll go through the required software and t
 ools needed to game comfortably on Ubuntu and how an end user can do this 
 without getting into a web of complex configurations.\n\nMore info: https:
