If you make use of the Wine compatibility layer on Fedora, it seems the upcoming Fedora 33 release may end up defaulting to DXVK for better performance.
Currently in Fedora, like most distributions, Wine is mostly left alone. Once installed, it's up to users to tinker with it and configure it (I much prefer using Lutris personally). That may change though if this latest proposal is accepted for Fedora 33 which releases in October 2020. There is currently a dedicated wine-dxvk package you can install to get it but this change would set DXVK as the default graphics backend for Wine to translate Direct3D 9/10/11 to Vulkan.
The benefits are obvious, like giving users of Wine a much better gaming experience for Windows-only titles. DXVK is used in Proton for Steam Play, it's developed at a quick pace for game compatibility and the performance is often far better than Wine's own wined3d which translates Direct3D to OpenGL.
See the proposal here if interested.

Quoting: jensReading this, may be another distribution than Fedora would fit your use cases somewhat better ... Fedora moves fast and F30 is already EOL.For that piece of software I could use "Debian 10", "CentOS 7", "Ubuntu 18.04" or "Windows 10".
And while F30 is EOL, this means nothing. Kernel v5.6 is still quite good, I know how to install nVidia drivers from their official website (please, do not start lecturing me on how it is wrong and will explode my PC -- sideloaded drivers will not break updates if there will be no updates from no on, ever).
Trust me, I know what is good for me. ;)
Quoting: mrdeathjrHowever package is optional, but as gamer wined3d is a dead horse and d9vk/dxvk is possible use many games with very good performance and features case vsync (this give troubles in wined3d)Emm, remind me, why exactly are you telling me about all DXVK benefits and "dead horses"? I have explicitly said I do not need all of that. I either do not own Windows AAA games, or do not care about them in the slightest (depends on whether you consider "Bloodscammed" to be an AAA game). DXVK with all of its benefits is useless to me, so I prefer it to stay out of my way. Out of sight, out of mind, so to say.
Another thing is d9vk/dxvk use cpu in better way (better multithreading) than wined3d…
BTW, it is funny that WINE devs consider DXVK to be a "dead horse" in the long run.
And, sorry, but the end part of your post is completely unintelligible to me (as I do not know English that well). :(
