Now give us DirectX on Linux

But Vulkan is better anyway

Right? Dude Vulkan has impressed me a bunch lately. I use it for Deadlock and it feels much smoother than the streamers I see using DirectX, which is crazy since Deadlock is super early alpha. More stuff needs to support Vulkan

For end users, sure. It's specifically designed as a lower level interface that's harder for developers to implement.

Windows users use DXVK to boost framerates, it was the solution for making Elden Ring playable it’s first month

I would say at that point the cost/reward is worth it

Even so, having more software natively supported will always be a good thing. Half the reason why people drag their feet on switching to Linux is because of the lack of support for their favorite software.
