That's not nice to say "keep on being donkeys"...

But it's true. I would have said asses, but he's more polite than me.

The greatest thing about open source software is that even if wine developers keep on being donkeys and won't add these features to wine, alternatives and forks will, and they will just replace wine altogether. At the end of the day, we, end users will still profit.

Nitpicking, but that's a characteristic of free software.

I agree, different logic, ideals about their projects, etc doesn't make them donkeys.
Please don't insult people.

DirectX 9 from 2002.

No DirectX 10 or 11.

Crapload of games use dx9.

It's only recent games that are 10/11 exclusive.

Yes, I also wonder how DirectX support could come for proprietary nvidia drivers?

Fedora doesn't ship proprietary nvidia drivers so it's not as if it would concern Fedora much

Wine isnt Linux only and its driver dependent.

That doesn't mean it has to be stupid. When the circumstances are right, it should build the support it needs.

Although, I consider a fork to be equally good. There is nothing wrong with branching edge case support out from a mainline tree.

Wine don't want to be speciic to Linux things.

Wine don't want to be speciic to Linux things.

Then I favor a fork. If wine doesn't want to do the real work that linux users want, then they don't deserve it.

EDIT: Like I said, there is nothing wrong with forking out edge case support. But, since linux users make up the very largest edge.....

Exactly, wine runs in mac and devs want run in all hardware (propietary and opensource drivers) and Os supported (Mac)
