FYI:

This is the first draft of the Microsoft Virtual GPU (vGPU) driver. The driver exposes a paravirtualized GPU to user mode applications running in a virtual machine on a Windows host. This enables hardware acceleration in environment such as WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) where the Linux virtual machine is able to share the GPU with the Windows host.

So this isn't actual "DirectX on Linux", just a driver for a virtual GPU exposed to WSL-guests to enable guests to directly use DirectX, more or less.

Probably most useful for Azure-based projects.
