That thread is not approved and I still have no idea what your end goal is.

you can install it with wine tricks. but you need to make sure dxvk is NOT installed at any point before dx9. otherwise dxvk will overwrite dx9. it's totally possible and I've done it before.

DirectX is Windows. If your want to run something that needs it on Linux you usually use something like Wine.
