If you have OpenGL installed, you can get information about version that you are using by typing this command in terminal - glxinfo | grep 'OpenGL version' To check your compatibility or for more information you can refer to this link. So it depends on which GPU you are using. Supporting OpenGL on Linux involves using GLX extensions to the X Server.

#Reactos directx windows#

Graphics on Linux is almost exclusively implemented using the X windows system. If we only consider the graphics part of of DX then I found OpenGL a bit more detailed (maybe even a bit convoluted) but ymmv. So the above should answer your third question, but basically:įrom this you can see that your first question is kinda nonsensical since DX intends to focus on far more things than OpenGL. This naturally requires intricate understanding of what the original call would do on the original system (Windows), hence some things get developed only slowly if at all in wine (like DX11 support, or the supposed Pulse driver). It basically converts and resolves calls recursively so that at the end some other library will do something similar to what the original call would have done. Wine is a 'compatibility layer' for Windows stuff.

Yes you can but that does not mean that Ubuntu supports your game. For that matter nothing really supports DirectX beyond Windows (and maybe ReactOS though I've never tested that). This means that Ubuntu does not support DirectX in any way.

In simple terms DirectX is a collection of libraries (*.dlls mostly), that serve to allow a developer easy access to Windows's lower level graphics, network and audio systems (maybe others too, never developed much with dx).ĭirectX is basically something that allows a convenience layer so you can do things like 'load and apply texture' instead of having to read every byte of color value from your jpg/png/whatever and draw them between 3 or more points on the screen based on some 'geometry logic' because that would significantly harden the task of developing multimedia applications. This statement is so wrong on so many levels. It is the protector of earth, and we are it’s source of power.'We already know Ubuntu support DirectX by using wine and OpenGL natively.' The way I see it, the Digital World is the guardian of the physical world and the natural world.

#Reactos directx free#

In an open source world, Net Neutrality wouldn’t be debated, it would be lived and every person would have access to internet, which would kill corruption and inequality because every person would be a journalist and uploading videos and anything they see, everyone would see thus there would be a more informed and free population.

If Mac and Windows were open source, there would be millions more new OS then today, and it wouldn’t be about applications, it would be about new creative user interfaces and features never before thought of, because developers haven’t had the freedom to use completely free open source code for literally anything.

#Reactos directx software#

Hmmm, If Windows was open source, people would be using all sorts of Operating systems actually, linux, unix,windows clones and systems not yet even devised yet, but everyone and I mean everyone would have access to the same software and all that software would work. At least that’s how I see it.įresh air and fresh information, both should be freely available to drive our democratic futures forward. To force people to pay for Computers or Internet is almost like forcing them to pay for going outside. Then either going to work or going to play. Then when I go on the internet, it’s almost like climbing out of that window. Except I can’t always get a good view of the outside from a window.

To me a computer is no different then a window. I am really indifferent about Reactos, BSD, SyllableOS, Haiku, MenuetOSĪs long as people find something that they are comfortable using and which fits their needs,(for free) it doesn’t matter to me in the least. I think that what should be done is the enactment of an open source society, where information is available for the benefit of life, nature and our collective futures, not for personal gain. That’s what Microsoft does and worse yet, it’s what hospitals and governments do. To think that they are hiding information from people for the sake of profit so that no one can scrutinize it or judge it’s validity. Ummm how is that funny? It seems sad to me.
