Lopengl is basically guarenteed to be supported in some capacity on every machine since the 90s
AEasy to learn too
Lyes asterisk
AMichaelsoft binbows only... Natively
LD3D11, and D3D9 can run on linux through dxvk-native
Land all the other versions of d3d work under wine
ALmost things dont use that
Lthey precompile shaders
Sis there a repo with some d3d code?,i wanna see it
AThat just seems
Strange
To me
And since I use spirv-cross and shaderc
It's also pointless to me

Pit's also worth noting windows games ship d3dcompiler themselves, and the calls within d3dcompiler get mapped to calls that are handled by WINE
Pso it effectively runs on linux
Pyou just need your whole app to be under WINE
AYou could take a look at pie's d3d11 implementation https://github.com/IsometricSoftware/Pie/tree/master/Pie.Graphics%2FDirect3D11
Lthats just how it is lol
AApparently so
Lwhich is not a good experience for linux users
Lunfortanately
Las good as wine has become, its still not a 'just works' solution
P
Pthat's going to become less and less of a problem over time though
AYea wine is not a great choice for development
I mostly need dxvk to develop DX apilications without booting into windows

Sit looks weird,atleast for me cuz i used opengl alot
Plook how far it's come since the steam machine launched
Lunfortanately that doesnt solve the runtime compilation issue
APart of the weirdness may be down to the fact that I use it in a very unconventional way in order to allow both GL and D3D to work together in one package without any code changes
AYou need to work around some things etc
Pi'm currently working on a d3d11 hello quad example
Pso stay tuned
ANice
Snice
AWill be nice to switch to silk for d3d bindings too
Lsame
ASince that is part of the reason I switched to silk in the first place
Li was hoping to switch to silk for d3d9 but uhhhhhhhhh
Lim good
ALmao
Lid fix it myself if buildtools didnt hate me
Swhat did you use before?
Aopentk
Show was it?
AFine? Not really sure how to answer that
Si could say the same
ASwitching to silk with unsafe took a bit of time and a few driver crashes but it was easy enough
Now I don't even think about it, I just know when to use unsafe and when not to

Si switched to silk from opentk cuz my friend told me to use vulkan instead of opengl(spoiler alert:i didn't use vulkan)
LVulkan is unnessesary for 99% of people
AYes
PGenerally when people are questioning whether to use Silk.NET, I find that a lot of people's reservations either come from the project's age and/or the level of documentation. Neither of which are going to be solved in any trivial amount of time, so I just tend to recommend OpenTK to those people. You do have to make concessions on the documentation front for Silk.NET, and only you can decide whether that's worth it. A lot of people are also beginners hence why I just flat out recommend OpenTK in those cases where they could clearly do with good documentation.
