Phoronix: Outlast Gets ~10%+ Performance Boost From Mesa GL Threading

For fans of the Outlast first-person survival horror game that was released in 2013 and brought to Linux in 2015, you may get better performance now if using the Mesa drivers thanks to the OpenGL threading being flipped on...

Nice work Mesa devs! Outlast seemed to run well enough for me when I completed the game under Wine back in 2013 (before there was even a hint that a GNU/Linux version was on the way), so it must run very fast by now.

It's sad that Outlast 2 doesn't seem to be getting a GNU/Linux port. Maybe it'll be like last time, where I give up and complete the game under Wine, only to have a native port released a few months later...
