Once again, because of the annual release schedule, a number of features that are being worked on have been deferred to the next development cycle. This includes in particular Direct3D 12 and Vulkan support

vulkan support is working pretty well, it is just hanging out in wine-staging until the bugs are pounded out

i don't think there will be any dx12 until the vulkan stuff is ready for prime time, since the intended strategy is to map dx12 to vulkan calls or something like that

vulkan was easy since it's just passthrough. dx12 is trickier because, while both apis have similar usage patterns, they don't map 1:1. dx12 doesn't have any concept of render passes which are required in vulkan and vulkan doesn't have anything resembling dx12's execute indirect*. i don't think anyone is working on a dx bytecode to spir-v translator yet either.

Don't source engine games get better performance on linux despite using a thingy that dynamically converts directx calls to opengl calls?

Maybe this was true in 2008 or whatever and it still is if you have a scrub tier AMD card, but Nvidia drivers on Linux nowadays are top notch and perform as well as their Windows counterparts. I don't notice any performance drop on Linux for source engine games.

amd's mesa-based linux opengl drivers are faster than their closed windows drivers these days and in some applications radv is faster than the official vulkan driver. source engine games like dota are one of the exceptions though, even though valve hired internal developers to work on the open drivers.
