A patch is on the way to the Linux kernel and looks like it could be ready for the 6.20~7.0 kernel for addressing out-of-memory "OOM" killer inaccuracy behavior when dealing with large core count systems.

A patch by Linux developer Mathieu Desnoyers made it into Andrew Morton's "mm-everything" queue this week to fix out-of-memory killer inaccuracy on large many-core systems.

The D7VK project for providing Direct3D 7 support on Linux with Wine / Proton has expanded in the version 1.1 release to add experimental Direct3D 6 support.
Like how DXVK started with the developer wanting to play NieR: Automata (see my original interview), the D7VK developer wanted to play Sacrifice and Disciples II on top of DXVK and so they started D7VK to get them working well.
