Hi,

I'm happy to know the release is for next month, and that we'll get it for Linux some time after.

However I would be very happy (and I assume other Linux backers would be happy too) to have something running on Linux at the release date, even if it's Beta.
Could we have some information to know if that could happen ?


If devs go through the forums, they may be interested to know what are the supported GL extensions on Linux.

Nvidia drivers are similar to those on windows.
Same for Amd Catalyst drivers, but there are some issues with them on Linux (input lags, etc). There is an very used open source driver which doesn't have these issues but supports fewer extensions.
Intel driver for Linux is open source only.

Here's the list of the supported extensions on the open source drivers: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/tree/docs/GL3.txt
i965 is the intel driver, r600/radeonsi the amd open source driver.
Opengl core profile is supported up to 3.3.
I don't know if compatibility profile goes to 3.3. It perhaps goes up to 3.2 or 3.1 for some drivers.
Also note that on the Core profile, the extension that have to be supported by Core profile are not advertised (but are supported), thus you shouldn't check them.
