DirectX Adopting SPIR-V

devblogs.microsoft.com DirectX Adopting SPIR-V as the Interchange Format of the Future - DirectX Developer Blog

Today the Direct3D and HLSL teams are excited to share some insight into the next big step for GPU programmability. Once Shader Model 7 is released, DirectX 12 will accept shaders compiled to SPIR-V™. The HLSL team is committed to open development processes and collaborating with The Khronos® Group ...

SPIR-V is the intermediate shader target used by Vulkan as well, so it sounds like this may indirectly make DirectX on Linux smoother.
