Cracking Windows Open: Porting RADV to Win32 | Hacker News

Hacker News debated whether RADV and amdgpu could be ported from Linux to Windows with shims or glue code.

Commenters said AMD's shared codebase may help, but Linux kernel abstractions do not map cleanly to Win32 and Windows driver models.

Past driver-porting attempts have had limited success, underscoring how hard GPU kernel work is to adapt across operating systems.

The discussion also touched on broader portability benefits, including possible support for older or alternative systems.
