Whoa, this is awesome! Looks like the author posted a full writeup (with videos) on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/wnuh3u/introd...

Fantastic work and write up. I was stunned when I got to this part:

I expect this developer has a very bright career ahead of them. Amazing work.

Absolutely agree. On the other hand, I feel like such an underachiever each time I see something as impressive as this. I just lost another weekend on.. what exactly?

I read somewhere that doing this is like comparing your average day with someone else's best day.

It's great to be inspired by someone's work, but you should not beat yourself up for not doing what they are doing.

I think the Linux kernel is getting support for something like how this works, but letting userspace emulate the syscalls, for Wine:

Probably that mechanism could mean this project could work on mainline Linux at some point.

we are all capable of great things, when everything lines up.

for some, that happens quite often. for others, never.
