No, they won't. DirectX is proprietary Microsoft software. The (originally titled Direct)Xbox was made to push this requirement into gaming and lock down control over open alternatives. Proton (specifically DXVK) translates DirectX call to Vulkan.

    That's basically what I meant, just simplified for the average reader. That instead of having to install Proton via Steam, the translation layer could come natively integrated into Linux.
