It only works on Mac OS via a compatibility layer that converts it to metal

KAnd is missing numerous features
CVulkan is not the default on Windows although it is supported
KIt's also the only operating system like that
Aoh so it's just really bad dxvk
KYeah, twice
CThey push DirectX
Hplaystation and xbox too
VThat's not an OS thing though. It's more reflective of the industry.
Hwell, and ios xd
Kdxvk to Vulkan, multanVK to metal
KBro I heard you liked compatibility layers
Cas someone who has looked at both graphics APIs I do not blame them at all
AOpenGL predates DirectX
CVulkan is insanely complicated
Aby like, a lot
CBut offers the best performance
AVulkan's family tree goes back further than DX's ever did
KIt's roughly the same as DirectX 12, the industry abandoned the whole driver does everything model
AWindows supported OpenGL before it ever supported DX
KVulkan is less a product of OpenGL, it's the modern version of AMD's mantle
AOpenGL first released in 1992.
DirectX? 1995
DirectX? 1995
KWhich debuted with Battlefield IV
Ayeah true it is more of an evolution of Mantle
Abut it has the legacy of the OpenGL team behind it
Awhich is more my point
VWhile I do think ARM is a really good architecture, shipping ARM devices that purely exist to emulate x86 is stupid
Hxbox only supports directx, playstation uses their own weird proprietary api, ios/macos/ipados have metal
everyone else supports opengl/vulkan
everyone else supports opengl/vulkan
Hin the beginning wine barely could run games
Athese people have been in the game for wayyyyy longer than DX have
Hweirdly enough the switch uses vulkan too, you'd think nintendo would pull something proprietary here
CThis was not long ago I saw the video
CI think a few months ago
VThe 3DS used a slightly weird version of OpenGL
CDoesn't Nintendo have their own proprietary one alongside Vulkan?
Cit does use a proprietary wrapper around it
CIt does
CI forget the name
VI mean, so long as you can interface with vulkan and it works that's fine.
CNVN apparently
Hagain, wine in the beginning could barely run games
Hthey dont prevent you from using other things, thats the difference
CI'm not saying it's not impressive I'm just saying the state of it is kind of poor if we plan to put it in handhelds
CValve would need to sponsor it and speed up it's development
Htry running adobe premier pro in wine for the pre-2010s linux gaming experience ! you will not regret running adobe premier pro in wine
Cwhy is Adobe apps so broken in wine?
Ctheoretically it's literally a UI compared to a full own video game
Hyou answered your own question, the answer is adobe
Hbecause they're already held together by duct tape and prayers
Caren't they literally electron apps now
Cbut cursed electron
