I want to encourage people to value software freedom. I am unsure of the effect of supporting proprietary platforms has on that. This feels uncomfortable.
So dont use it?
This comment every time 😐
What else do you want to happen? DX is essential for porting to xbox and some versions of Windows. It's not about open source, devs need this. By your logic should everyone just make a Linux build and nothing else because they're proprietary and evil?
One dev succeeding without those won't prove all other devs can but I hope if I do succeed that will convince some devs maybe they don't "need" proprietary solutions.
I am uncertain if building just for Linux would be better or worse became there is some merit to uninformed users having free software on their proprietary devices.
