Added support for the VK_EXT_descriptor_heap extension.

Now we just wait for it to get implemented in Proton to finally have decent DX12 performance on Nvidia on Linux.

Improved support for falling back to system memory when available video memory is low, to help prevent Wayland desktop freezes.

I feel like this is pretty big! https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/non-existent-shared-vram-on-nvidia-linux-drivers/260304

    Nice! I’ve been burned by this before.

    Same, great update, happened a few times already and I've only been on Linux for two months.

    One thing I love about swapping OS is that over the past two months, I've already seen 10 or so patches to the OS that have legitimately made my experience better. On Windows, everything just got progressively worse with each upgrade. It makes me hopeful for the future instead of despondent!

    Yes looking forward to this one too. Not sure if it will help, but Jedi survivor has some weird texture things going on due to VRAM requirements on Linux that I didn't have on Windows. Possibly down to how this is treated.

    In case anyone is running Noctalia shell, I can recommend the Performance mode which reduces memory and animations and stuff while enabled, so it is less taxing on resources while gaming. Then just disable when you stop gaming. 😗👌
