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...
I don't browse reddit too often, so I don't know if this is a common thing with reddit videos? can anyone else chime in and let me know whether this is a me-problem or something common?

Do those videos work for you? I just get spinners when opening it on Chrome on linux. I don't browse reddit too often, so I don't know if this is a common thing with reddit videos? can anyone else chime in and let me know whether this is a me-problem or something common?
It's a little funny that after all this brilliance, he's still limited by Apple. Either way, remarkable. I truly hope Nintendo leaves him alone though..

Given the Oracle vs Google lawsuit about the Java API, and that all he has done is reimplement an API, surely there is nothing Nintendo can do?

Their legal team knows that with their excessive legal funds they don't need to care about what the law allows them to do, their lawyers and henchmen can simply bleed their targets dry and make them give up.
They're a terrible company that happens to make some fun games.
I think the Linux kernel is getting support for something like how this works, but letting userspace emulate the syscalls, for Wine: https://lwn.net/Articles/824380/ Probably that mechanism could mean this project could work on mainline Linux at some point.
Its funny that both of these things happened at almost the same time but reminds me of the chat found earlier today https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32458744 which has some great comments regarding this and the (g)libc relationship. Thanks for also pointing this out.
I guess it’s one of the reasons we got patents and the like.

It's a bit of a shame the author didn't dig more into it, I am pretty sure MoltenVk gives you a reasonably up-to-date Vulkan on Mac, and I've seen progress lately on zink-over-MoltenVk, which should enable OpenGL 4.6 on macos. On the other hand, that's not really the point of this work.

Whilst true I don't think there's any way to use that to get better graphics support in a Linux VM - for that you're going to be at the mercy of either VMWare or Parallels. QEMU doesn't do 3D…
