is there any roadmap, plan or estimate about how much will this take to have most games supported?

Apple are still jerks for not supporting Vulkan.

most games require much more than directx. wine still does not support(as in platinum) most games regardless of 3d driver version and complete vkd3d will not change that. wine is chasing whole windows, it is a large and never ending task

While I don't give a fuck about Dx 12 and I will never buy that supports that instead of vulkan or OpenGL, I'm still glad that Linux is improving so much in this area with all these compatibility layers!

But nobody gives a shit about platinum, it's an arbitrary metric. Gold is more than enough.

Most of the time even "Silver" is fine especially if it's for insignificant reasons.
