What does it do? I looked it up on google but there isn't any explanation on it beside being a potential bug fixer.

Good question. No one has ever really explained, but here's how I read it:

 

Using operating system-native APIs to put things up on screen, instead of the old OpenGL APIs that are being phased out.

 

That's DirectX on Windows, Metal on Mac. OpenGL was once  the industry standard, but is now left behind.
