From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Yes, I've meant adding new version support, my idea is, easier native game development for Linux would be great, and having directx open sourced will be a step in that direction, albeit small but still it is a step in right direction
The D3D shader compiler has been open source for many years. This is just a new version of it.
Didn't know, thank you for new info
