Well if your native Linux graphics drivers support Vulkan / >=OpenGL 3.2 and you have Wine Staging installed then you have the option of using any one of:
  • DirectX 9.0c
  • DirectX 10/11
  • OpenGL
  • Vulkan
as render targets for applications running under Wine.

Using Vulkan passthrough will need a couple of environment variables to be set:

Code: Select all

export VK_LAYER_PATH=???
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=???
It's up to you then to research how your target Windows application needs to be configured to use your chosen rendering engine.
