Is it just the weakness of the Linux driver or something to do with the OS?
Bottom line: If performance is important, use nvidia graphics and run the nvidia binary blob

The problem with Linux is that it's largely ISA-independent, as Android showed, and there's no way Intel is going to get behind that for consumer devices. Servers, yes. Consumer devices, hell no. That's why Intel started pushing all that Surface Pro crap and basically told Android to f off.

But elsewhere not all other applications or games from smaller studios are gonna jump to Vulkan. OpenGL will live on despite it's problems, that's why it's important for Intel and AMD to get their openGL in order.
