Not yet. I'm working on getting a release out by the end of the year. It won't be open source but there will be a free trial.

DX12 was over 2 years old by the time Vulkan was released. People in the industry also use DirectX extensively and have for decades (Vulkan is fairly marginal in comparison); many modern graphics API features (mesh shaders, ray tracing) were designed and developed in DirectX, as Microsoft worked with closely with ISVs on these features before they spread to wider audiences and published specifications.

Honestly if you are creating games, with the rise of Proton and vkd3d, there is seemingly less need to target Vulkan today than ever before. Just target x86_64 Windows with DirectX11 or DirectX12 and you will even get Linux support (and some day, probably macOS) "for free". That's just for games, though.

There's that small thing of DirectX 12 predating Vulkan (and massively predating the useful Vulkan specs).

You never know what's going on in the mind of another person, they could have something going on that makes them feel negatively about qemu. We can project our stress into all kinds of strange places.

I don't think someone expressing a unsubstantiated negative opinion is akin to trolling

I would define trolling as a low-effort/sloppy attempt at a counterargumentation whose sole point is to ragebait you into looking unhinged in your response so that we can make fun of you

> Army of agents doesn't mean the person doing that doesn't understand the code

This is quite literally, objectively what it means lol. No human will ever seen it.
