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.

    I mean in terms of the reason to kill Linux gaming so devices like the steam deck would need to run windows for most games

      @skymtf Same basic thing of yes they could likely do it technically. But no in that the EU and some other regulators would likely block it. IMO
