Single wizard made DirectX 11 translation to Vulkan because he wanted to enjoy his waifu. Then he made it to the point of Witcher 3 running.
There was a problem tho - some models were broken because Vulkan didn’t have some DirectX features. Then valve got involved and submitted proposal to Kronos for necessary Vulkan extension. Driver guys from MESA implemented it really quickly and suddenly almost all the DirectX 11 games became playable. Nvidia also added support.
It’s an insane story of one guy with Anime waifu in avatar turning the tides of history. AFAIK he now works full time for Valve.
So we can also say indirectly that Steam Deck wouldn’t have happened without the horniness of Yoko Taro who created that android ass in the first place.
And it all started with a guy wanting to see sexy android ass on Linux
If anything has been a driver of human ingenuity, it’s the horny
I need the lore
the first steps of what later would become Proton, were made because Nier Automata didn’t run on linux
