> This feels like a great, great victory for Linux to me! Why? This is not DirectX on the Linux desktop, it is DirectX for WSL. This means that code written for this will NOT function on desktop Linux. Additionally, support for DirectX for WSL is support not spent on Vulkan and OpenGL. |

Like CUDA, I assume that most applications would not be coded to this API directly. Microsoft already mentioned OpenCL and OpenGL.
This is to hardware accelerate Linux applications and not to create WSL-specific Linux apps. I can't imagine there's a big market for Linux GUI apps that would only run on Windows.
