So as we know Windows Platform Apps and WinUI3 apps do not work on Linux, I keep wondering if Microsoft were to launch a new API let’s say direct X 15 but limit it to Windows Store Apps, and provided a way for the apps to be installed from other stores like steam could they in time kill modern Linux gaming.

    My hope is that the Microsoft store continues to be so shitty that users just reject any future attempts to do that.

    That being said, if a large number of devs and users eventually adopted it, I would abandon gaming and stick with only native Linux games and vintage PC games that ran through Wine/Proton.

    I refuse to use Windows for anything. And as much as I love gaming, I love my freedom, privacy, and rights as a user far more.
