    It’s too bad the native Linux versions of old id Tech 0/1/2/3/4 games aren’t being posted on Steam.

    And worse, for the old id Tech 0/1 games it’s not even the Windows version, nor a native emulator, it’s running the DOS version in the Windows version of DOSBox in Proton.

    Although now I notice this is actually a remake, not the id Tech 1 original.



  • This is very outdated.

    • Catalyst doesn’t exist anymore, it was replaced by AMDGPU-PRO years ago.
    • The Radeon Mesa driver (radeonsi) is generally faster than AMDGPU-PRO OpenGL for gaming, and has been for years. On the Vulkan side, performance is usually fairly close between the Mesa driver (RADV), AMDVLK and AMDGPU-PRO.
    • AMDGPU is just the kernel driver, which is used by both the Mesa drivers and AMDGPU-PRO, so why is it listed separately?
    • For Intel, I think the hardware was holding it back more than the driver, especially since they’ve replaced the classic Mesa drivers with Gallium based ones. But now they’re doing the Arc stuff.
    • I don’t know if I would say that Nvidia proprietary runs well
