Well, DXVK isn't that ideal. Comparing to Wine implementation it's still pretty new project and it's focused basically only on games while Wine isn't only about games. It also has some problems with 32 bit games (on DXVK wiki it's recommended to use wined3d for 32 bit games). Even DXVK creator and main developer said it became "fragile, unreliable and frustrating maintenance nightmare". I think there is some sense adding Vulkan to wined3d since it's developed for years. Of course, maybe everyone should focus on improving DXVK but maybe adding Vulkan backend to Wine isn't bad idea at all. Who knows, maybe it will be working better than DXVK?
DXVK was created for DX11. Support for DX10 was added later.

When I saw that Metro Exodus was a Epic Games Store only title, I boycotted it. If it's on Steam but still requires the Epic game launcher, I think I'll pass again. I've been having to fiddle around with the temperamental Uplay launcher and have to launch Steam as well under Wine just to play Far Cry 5.
If it shows up as a native port on Steam, I'll buy it. If it shows up as a running windows game in GOG I'll buy it but not before.
I needed to change my sound format down to 48kHz or the sound did not work. I'm playing it in KVM on my rx 480 and it runs with no lag whatsoever on full graphics 1080p.
Metro series is one of my favorites. Since 2013 regardless of how much I like a game I don't preorder it. I wanted to make an exception for Metro Exodus, but restrained myself. I was very disappointed when they moved it to Epic Games Store (EGS) before release date. I did not buy it on EGS, but got it within a few minutes of coming back to Steam. I would buy it again if it appears on GOG (as a donation of sorts for DRM free market).

I have to say I tested out Proton 5 with my HTC Vive VR system last week and was blown away. Yes I was only running Space Pirate Invader but the performance right out of the box was amazing! It was not perfect, but I did nothing but install it directly on a system running in a VM with GPU pass through... so probably the most edge case setup you could get and it ran amazingly well. I was actually able to play through several rounds!
I really hope wine stays focused on non-gaming and leaves proton to the gaming rather than duplicate and wast effort. It would be awesome to run MS Office 2019 on Linux!

I do not trust Wine to get this done somehow faster now when switching to Vulkan instead of OpenGL. Proton is here today and DXVK works extremely well. Any project of the size of DXVK becomes fragile. Do you really believe that WineD3D doesn't suffer from the same issues? If Wine will deliver a better implementation, I would be happy to use it, but so far there are just some empty claims that they might do it better. It is time for Wine to deliver a little more than empty promises. On my systems I replaced Wine with Proton as all that Vulkan stuff works extremely :-)
I don't understand why they are bad because they claiming they can do better than DXVK. If they want to - let them do it. After it will be finished we will check this and see for our own eyes. A lot of good software became real because their developers though they can do things better than another software. Isn't Linux good example of this? Didn't Linus Torvalds created Linux because he believed he can make better OS than Minix was?
