ozymandias117@lemmy.world 2 days agoXbox was only created to help vendor lock-in for Windows.
The X in Xbox was DirectX, the goal was to get developers off of OpenGL.

Not to mention proton and dx2vk handle playing directx games on Linux more reliably than most linux native games (at least in my experience… If a game doesn’t work, odds are it’s using the steam linux runtime and switching to proton gets it to work).
