Why though? One major reason is how thin Stadia is as a platform. There's already Wine and Proton, which are mentioned in the talk as well but it seems Google wanted something different.

However, work is ongoing to hook it all up together with Wine and Proton (for 32-bit games specifically they said) which is one of the paths they will be considering going forwards. With only three people working on it, presenter Marcin Undak said they were able to get some games to run but it's still in the R&D phase and not production ready yet with it taking considerable time to work per-game. However, this translator seems to be their newer approach to running Windows games on Stadia. They already have some existing work available to developers who want it, including their 'Stadia Porting Toolkit' which actually uses DXVK to translate Direct3D to Vulkan (since Stadia is a Linux system).

Our community includes millions of people using GNOME as a desktop environment, bringing ideas into the world with GTK, and packaging their apps to Flathub.During the ongoing Google for Games Developer Summit 2022 Keynote, one of the Google team just did a talk on 'How to write a Windows emulator for Linux from scratch' to help Stadia. The GNOME community is a collection of amazing, inspiring people who come together to do amazing things, to push the project forward, raise awareness, teach, learn, share, organize events, and create the place we call our home within free software. People who are passionate about what they’re doing and care about everyone using, studying, and modifying the technology they are making. Becoming a member of the Foundation strengthens your voice in the Project and gives you an opportunity to vote on goals that will steer the GNOME Project into the future. The GNOME Foundation membership is open to all GNOME contributors (including GNOME Circle), and every member of the Board of Directors is a contributing member of the GNOME community. It steers releases, determines what software is officially part of the Project, and acts as the official face of the GNOME Project to the outside world, though it delegates most of its authority to specialized teams.īut that face, like the face of GNOME itself, is made by you. While the many GNOME contributors develop code, smash bugs, write documentation, and help users, the Foundation acts as a guiding hand in the process and provides resources and infrastructure.
