Apollo / Artemis Community Feature Request & Bounty RFC

[ClassicOldSong]

Apollo and Artemis now have multiple community forks with genuinely useful modifications. That is good for experimentation, but it also creates a real coordination problem: some features overlap, some conflict with each other, and long term this can fragment the community and make updates harder to maintain across the ecosystem.

To reduce that problem, I want to propose a more centralized process for feature planning and implementation: a shared feature request / voting / bounty thread.

The goal is not to stop people from experimenting or forking. The goal is to make it easier to coordinate work, reduce duplicate effort, avoid code conflicts, and keep the project maintainable.

Is there any plans to port this to linux/steamdeck anytime soon? Is there some way I can help to make this happen?

Main dev installed Fedora & Arch recently so we should see Apollo on Linux soon.

And then an Artemis-Linux build will eventually come.

Cool, I'm currently developing pen and touch-related features for several devices like the Wacom Movikpad and Samsung Galaxy Tablet, and I'll upload them for your review soon.

Great suggestion! I'm using a fork Artemide because I have (bad luck) Mediatek. My suggestions for Artemis:

• More flexible traffic timeout settings. 10 seconds isn't enough. I often play games on the subway over the internet, connecting devices via VPN through Tailscale. In the metro, the internet often lags, the tablet switches between access points, and due to a 10-second timeout, the stream often breaks.
• More experimental optimizations for MediaTek processor decoders. Because of them I use a fork Artemide.
• Add support for deeper caches, like in Parsec, for those who, like me, want to play over the Internet with a high network ping, albeit with high latency, but this is enough for turn-based leisurely games like Heroes of Might and Magic or For the King.
