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.

it took an infernally long time to open the store, search for an app, and then install that app.

After about a year of Linux and using package managers/AUR to install and update software, it blows my mind to think that I would ever choose to do it a different way.

I don’t know how I put up with that shit for so many years.

Oh for sure. Even the other traditional way of doing windows installs (finding an EXE or MSI and then downloading it) sucks ass. The only good way to do things on windows is with Choco lol
