Windows 11 contains ∞% more Win32 and directx on the other hand.
What do I care if another OS is faster if it can’t do what I want? Surely DOS on modern hardware is Lightning fast.
- krylon 5y agoOh, indeed. I had the pleasure of installing MS DOS 6.22 on two machines a couple of years ago. Booting, after the BIOS had done its thing, was nearly instantaneous. The installation procedure itself was also very fast (no surprise there), it took maybe five to ten minutes per machine, and I suspect it could have been faster if reading from floppy disks wasn't the bottle neck.
- megous 5y agoLinux has win32/directx API via wine project.
- Shadonototra 5y agowhy would you need Win32 or DX? IO? Networking? Win32 APIs are bad and slower I'm pretty sure majority of people don't care about DX 12, as vulkan seems to get the lead, even on windows (DX 11 still probably is more popular, but also older)
- smoldesu 5y agoNot to mention, sometimes you even see a performance increase when running DX code through Vulkan translation (DXVK).
- marcosdumay 5y agoWine is probably more conformant to Win32 than Windows 11. But the good news is that you can get it through WSL.
