    i'd love to see microsoft release direct x as completely open source. along with opening up win32 api. with them moving heavily towards software as a service i don't see the point in keeping everything closed source.

        Ability to run Linux on windows is an only positive thing about windows.

          MS should discard windows and focus on linux only. port their close source dx and whatever and focus on linux only.

            Unfortunately this questions Linux as a desktop OS. And we want Linux to win in this competition.

              I doubt they ever will considering that directX makes up their entire graphics stack, D3Dx is their 3d stack, and there is at least open source D3D9/10 implementations, IIRC D3D11 is an incremental upgrade to D3D10, so if that gets done, we are just missing the D3D12 support​

              they already are with their nvidia open kernel drivers, NVK is looking very promising​

                  Redhat? Who in here (https://github.com/NVIDIA/open-gpu-kernel-modules) works at Red Hat? I didn't find anybody.

                  Any hardware produced by NVidia I have I can use with Linux (even old ones from 2004/2005), the same is not true about some old AMD hardware.

                    Indeed, though I think they were probably talking about NVK, but I argue that without the open drivers, NVK wouldnt be worth much anyway to the average user
