Project mention: We Are Doomed: A pessimistic point of view of "modern software engineering" | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-01-14Neither Apple nor Microsoft want any usable multiplatform graphics API. For this reason, none of them delivers such a thing.
If you want a multiplatform graphics API, you should use a library which implements such API on top of these native OS-specific APIs.
I have good experience with that one: http://diligentgraphics.com/diligent-engine/ I’ve used it couple times on Windows with D3D12 backend, and on Linux with GLES 3.1 backend.
Your requirements are a bit ambiguous, but Tooll checks all those boxes. I used the previous version (Tooll2) but ended up switching to Blender.

DisablePlayerFade=false [OSD] Enable the on-screen display. Enable=false InitiallyOn=true Comma separated list of displayed stats. fps - Framerate bare_fps - Just the framerate, no formatting frametime - Frametime bare_frametime - Just the frametime, no formatting counter - Frame counter vram - Video ram usage (used / budget) * all - Everything * Note that this line does not show total amount of memory available but rather the OS allocated budget which can vary based on how much is consumed by other applications. If usage exceeds the budget, you'll likely experience stuttering. Requires DXGI 1.4. Stats related to specific drivers are configured in their respective sections. Show=fps,vram How often the OSD updates (in seconds). UpdateInterval=0.3 Keys used used to toggle the OSD.

Project mention: "LibreOffice is better at reading old Word files than Word" | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-01-07https://github.com/FunkyFr3sh/cnc-ddraw (fixes all issues you can have with DirectDraw, an old 2d API, can have its use for both windows users and people who use wine on linux)
Project mention: Looking to create a engine (for fun) and am willing to rethink my stack from scratch. Should I go with Rust/wgpu/web-based UI, or C++/Vulkan/Qt, or even some other stack? | /r/GraphicsProgramming | 2023-06-05LLGL Looks like a good alternative to BGFX, I haven't tried it though.
since many vfx or particles are made from GLSL. for eg: https://github.com/effekseer/Effekseer how do we port it into webgpu in the future? will that be automatically work on webgpu too? or people need re-create all of those in WGSL?
Project mention: SimCity Classic - Guide to Installation (Windows / DOSBox) | /r/SimCity | 2023-07-08Then, download this and place the files inside the game directory (C:\Program Files\Maxis\SimCity Classic).
I'm surprised nobody covered p.2. JUST USE d912pxy. Period. The game is unplayable without it. BTW running it on Linux has the same effect as it translates DirectX calls to Vulkan calls and precompiles shaders. As much as I appreciate and respect ArenaNet will to fix performance introducing Dx11 hardly improved anything. There is still long way to go.
You can DIY your own with a IC-based RGB/RGBW strip and a rPi or x86 PC + ESP microcontroller using software like Hyperion or HyperHDR, combined with WLED.
