I wonder if at some point Wine on Linux will become better than Windows itself.

    For most stuff wine is working better than on Windows. Thats why people actually import wine drivers to their real Windows install

    for Deus Ex Randomizer, we include the DXVK DLLs as part of the Windows installation automatically, because it runs better and smoother and with less issues

    (we run vulkaninfo to check compatibility first, we check support for VK_KHR_maintenance6 or Vulkan 1.4 or newer, otherwise you don't get DXVK)

    For games it's already better, I get a few extra fps on my low-end laptop with integrated graphics and the best part is that I don't need to worry about games leaving traces/trash in the system as they are placed in individual prefixes

    @inzen @mr_MADAFAKA as soon as the kernel rewrite happened, this is nearly guaranteed. augsburg.social/@schtobia/1157

    There was an update to that post, where the author said it was a "misinterpretation" and that it was just a research project.

    @ashleythorne true! But the Win32 ABI was the "holy grail" of Microsoft. You can run a Win95 application written under Borland C++ today! That they even considering of breaking that, would be unthinkable a few years ago.
