Vulkan means cross-platform independent of OS. This is a move by Microsoft to lure any undecided/new game developers back to their walled garden. If you don't see this, let's talk in 10 years again - assuming Microsoft doesn't crap on it along the way.
- hgoel 6y agoBeing able to run dx12 in a virtualized environment that's still under Windows (and thus not actually changing anything vs just developing only for windows) is going to lure undecided game developers how?
- unnouinceput 6y agoSay you're a game developer under Linux, OK? Then this comes along and you give it a try. This combined with all the great game engines that are pure Windows these days (see Unreal Engine 5 demo that was launched these days) and you now can target Linux using that. What do you do - continue with Vulkan or offer your game using this?
- wvenable 6y agoYou can't target Linux using that. I think you misunderstand what this is. It doesn't help nor hurt Vulkan or Linux development -- this only exists to "optimize" the Linux VM in Windows.
- unnouinceput 6y agoehh, nevermind
