Its highly dependent on implementation.

The experience on Linux is good (use docker otherwise python is dependency hell) but the basic torch based implementations (automatic, comfy) have bad performance. I have not managed to get shark to run on linux, the project is very windows focused and has no documentation for setup besides "run the installer".

Basically all of the vram trickery in torch is dependent on xformers, which is low-level cuda code and therefore does not work on amd. And has a running project to port it, but it's currently to incomplete to work.

I use wine-tkg (https://github.com/Frogging-Family/wine-tkg-git)

Had no Problems with that in FF14, Remnant 2, Satisfactory, Supermarket Together and Subnautica Below Zero. Tested them all under Sway, not sure how much that influences these results.

From my experience using it: Mostly steam overlay and clipboard copy/paste not working. The rest seems fine.

Most of the stuff on GoG should fit the bill. You still can use it as a website to shop for a game and get a installer exe for it. Without any additional launcher.

As far as documented network go, I've never seen more than games listing a couple of ports for servers, never anything like ips or actual network protocol descriptions. I guess anything with user hostable dedicated servers should be fine.

Problem is that those old games have very low online population, so I'm not entirely sure how much "casual comraderie" you'll find.

So the HDMI founders are Philips, Panasonic, Sony and Toshiba Known for their Players and in part TVs. The HDMI Forums consists of the rest of the TV Manufacturers and the big names in component Making (Analog Devices, NXP, Realtek, Qualcomm, etc.). So they are all members of a cooperation dedicated to "encouraging and promoting the adoption and widespread utilization of its Final Specifications". I hesitate to call their decisions on connectivity options unencumbered by interests.

oh btw: Anti-Trust does not require to there be no competing offer, just vast majority of market share.

Display Port has a standing in Computer Displays but is basically unheard of in Home Entertainment.

Since we now have confirmation that an open implementation is legally impossible I would consider the HDMI forum to be a cartel and not a standarts comitee. Therefore it should be dismantled by anti-trust authorities asap.

This also works the other way round:

The best programmers won't be able to fix you clunky mess of bureaucracy by making it digital.

"But throughout that time, I actually had no inkling what game development was actually like. How hard the designers, programmers, artists, producers, and everyone else worked," he says. "The struggle to bring a vision to life with constantly shifting resources. The stress."

Then tell us about it. Make it heard where you get Stressed and where you rub up on the state of the art. List off what had to be finished in crunch time. What got pushed by Marketing or Management. Leaving everything up to a nebulous "you don't know" makes any criticism easily dismissed and reduces leverage against systemic issues.

how do you stop it on client side? I'm not sure if it has been deployed into the wild but these days computer vision is good enough to just work off the images. Capture image signal, fake usb mouse outputting movements calculated from image data. If this isn't already available it's only held back by the need for extra hardware.
