I heard that there was interest in implementing Vulkan support for Linux guests. I wondered if there has been any update on that.

guess they should also relax their 80 column limit a bit:

- const unsigned unit = svga->state.hw_draw.fs->pstipple_sampler_unit;
+ const unsigned unit =
+ svga_fs_variant(svga->state.hw_draw.fs)->pstipple_sampler_unit;
…

Wondering about the status of Direct3D 11 support for Windows guests.

DirectX 11 support in Workstation is in tech preview!
