OpenGL is legacy tech, just as DirectX

Vulkan is the new shader thing, and has been for at least a decade by now.

DirectX12 is still much better to use than Vulkan.

Natively supports Xbox and PC. Can run on Linux with Proton. The Playstation API functionally resembles DX12.

Vulkan is extension management hell (but has gotten much better, I concede)

Forgive me for being an idiot but i was under the impression dx12 was closer to vulkan architecturally which makes it easier to port to Linux display drivers (and thus why it has)
