    may be u know what it is OpenGL ?

    so, a consorsium graphic build OpenGL Next. After, we could say, Vulkan technologie, is a API, the new OpenGL.

    so with linux mint, usualy u have OpenGL ES 3.2, a old techologie ! i'm
    very old...i tay to OpenGL no more first ES.

    so, i'm not a gamer, but i think to play with old raster Doom 2, is
    better if u install Vulkan compl|-ment for linux mint !

    sudo apt install --download-only mesa-vulkan-drivers

    u will get in var the package...because u don't have it yet ! the system
    could say YES.

    save it in a folder for always! and dpkg ;


    BUT, becarefull, i'm speaking about doom2 because you find the wad file,
    and the engine Linux-UZDoom-Preview.AppImage !!

    the interface let you the choice ! play with old OpenGL or Vulkan !
    but...with a tiny PC, your CPU will burn fastly...see the cpu sensors ! HOOOOOOOT !

    so don't use Vulkan with tiny PC ! the raster, shader technologie to antialaising...is very very expensive !!!
