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.

    @makingStuffForFun @skymtf Microsoft puts a big emphasis on backwards compatibility. I highly doubt they would do something that would cut off of much legacy software that runs on their system. Modern Windows is still honoring some limitations that originated in the MsDOS / Win 95~98 era…
