According to the reddit post:
AMD Ryzen 9 9900X, 16GB RAM, AMD Radeon RX 9070
I'm really surprised VKD3D works out of the box. So many abstraction layers stacked on top of each other feel like a jenga tower on the brink of falling.
Vkd3d is a PE executable, if wine works and Vulkan works then it works too, as long as the required extensions are present
It targets vulkan, so if BSD has vulkan drivers it is agnostic
Whoa, openbsd has 3d hardware drivers? Only open source i guess, no official drivers?
Yes, the upcoming OpenBSD 8.0 release will have inteldrm/radeondrm/amdgpu drivers from Linux 6.18.y/6.18.53.

Correct, those are the versions in the coming release.
For those not familiar with OpenBSD, it’s had an accelerated amdgpu driver since 2019, and inteldrm/radeondrm for a few years longer, generally kept up to date with Linux stable throughout that time.

The open source drivers are the official ones for Intel and AMD.
They port the open source Linux drivers. FreeBSD does this too. Maybe others.
Over time there can be periodic drift and out of date drivers until they re-sync, but it usually works pretty well.
Obvious in hindsight, shows how much of a BSD noob I am :)

OpenBSD has had hardware-accelerated 2D and OpenGL since, well, forever-ish. Just not for modern Nvidia GPUs.

What about the most difficult game of all, Microsoft Office?
Hey, modern versions of Excel have a GPU-accelerated computation engine.
You could try Age of Empires, its menus have the same charm.
(Its presentation is so stiff that I refused to play it - it's supposedly a very good game, but I just couldn't bear playing what felt like MS Office)
There was a whole era of mid '90s Microsoft games where they were still competing with "Exit to DOS to get the best game experience" so they went out of their way to make sure you were aware you were running in Windows while playing their games. Aside from the early Age of Empires games I also recall the "Madness" family of racing games had different takes on the same idea from a variety of different developers. I actually just reinstalled Monster Truck Madness 1 the other day and have been working my way through trying to bodge it in to being an acceptable experience for this exact reason. The game itself runs fine but the UI does a lot of weird things that may have worked on Windows 9x with a low-res CRT but are very annoying on a modern system.
I'm having a blast with AoE I on Linux, in this case the Definitive Edition. I don't think it looks like Office though ;) But what is true, it's tricky to get running on WINE. With Proton which I use the configuration works by default though IIRC.
Yeah I tried that game once it's not for me, I heard the old boss tried to EOL civilization as we know it!
I would've checked it, if their Office 365... sorry... COPILOT OFFICE... wasn't such a problem to install and test. Notepad++ is enough.
I think the canonical name is MS Copilot for Copilot.
It's Microsoft 365 Copilot ;)
Luckily(?) Office is browser based now.
I mean... You can open Office documents in the browser, but for anything beyond basic tasks it's not even close.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, stop right there, Evel Knievel.
