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 !!!
