Apple added #DX12 support to macOS and Apple Silicon via its Game Porting Toolkit. It’s basically a 20k patch to Wine that will make it easy to play AAA Windows games on macOS without using a VM. https://github.com/apple/homebrew-apple

Oh nice... Apple benefits from Free Software while locking out Free Software OSes from its hardware.

@sebsauvage I mean, Asahi is doing pretty well and has said Apple has made changes that seem to be just for them. They’ve made the code available per the license terms so I don’t know what there is to complain about here. We should be happy they opted to patch at all and not try to invent their own solution that wasn’t open by virtue of its inherited codebase.
