Wine Makes It Possible To Run Vulkan Windows Programs On Linux (phoronix.com)

The cool Wine-related news of the week isn't just for Android Remix; an anonymous reader writes with some news applicable to a wider set of users: While no Windows-only Vulkan games have yet to be released, Wine developers are ready and have worked out experimental support for wrapping Vulkan Windows programs on Linux. Assuming you have a Vulkan Linux driver, the latest Wine-Staging build allows for Vulkan Windows programs/games to be dynanically translated and run on Linux 32-bit and 64-bit. Wine's Vulkan wrapper is passing all Khronos conformance tests, but hopefully the ever-expanding Linux game catalog will make this 10k+ lines of code not necessary moving into the future.

"Lack of support for Linux games doesn't hold Windows back, but somehow lack of support for Windows games does hold Linux back. It's an unfair double standard, but it is what it is."
Here let me fix it for you.
The lack of AAA class games for Linux are holding it back. The lack of AAA class games for OS/X are holding it back. Windows has the most AAA class games.
Name 3 great games for Linux that are not available for Windows?
