#2> On Windows, a wchar_t is 2 bytes, but on Linux it is typically 4 bytes. The D3D12 ABI for WSL uses the native 4-byte wchar_t, to enable applications and the runtime to use the system C library to perform string manipulation.
sooo does that mean UTF-32 or UTF-16 with two zero bytes per character?

#3since this is mit licensed, wouldn't it be possible to create a vulkan dx translation layer so that even without wsl dx12 could be used on linux?

Wine and valve are working on this currently. Have a bunch of repos for it.

DXVK is what you're thinking of.

I think dx12 is feature complete, but some features are missing from earlier versions.
