Unlike the previous 3DMark benchmarks, the new Steel Nomad will be officially released on Linux too. 3DMark Wild Life Extreme had a version working on Linux too, but it was never released. Phoronix had access to it, it was running natively on Linux with the Vulkan API but it never saw a public release.

    3DMark Wild Life Extreme had a version working on Linux too, but it was never released.

    It’s sometimes baffling how often Linux support is kept behind closed doors.

    No need to yell at me “but support!” I’ve been developing cross-platform software for decades, and the claims about support burdens have never matched what I’ve seen as a developer or end-user.

    As an experiment, I’m keeping the Win32 port of software I maintain, behind closed doors.
