Hello, I just installed Nobara as I thought it would be easier to play on Linux I had a bit of experience with KDE and manage to get a system running OK. Though I have now an issue with wine. When I tried to start an application (the installation is done at this point) it ask to have DirectX installed to get it running. How do I get it installed ? Also I think I have multiple wine installations as, if I start it through heroic or steam it ask for DirectX and vcrun (visual C++ if I remember correctly) and if I start it through the file browser, it only ask for DirectX

Do you know how to solve those issues ? If I get more information or solve the issue I’ll post a comment about it.

Have a pleasant day you all and take care !

    Upvoted, but

    You don’t use DirectX on Linux, as it is a windows API.

    But we are talking about wine, so we are using directx and there is even native implementation of directx 9 in mesa called gallium9.

    Instead, you use DXVK

    Not necessarily. Wine has its own implementation already built in, but it translates to opengl not vulcan (yet). You can even partially use the native directx, but it won’t be very efficient, because wine has to translate more staff.
