From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Yeah, but because pricing jumped like someone set a firecracker off under it's chair people are actually still using vintage GPUs.
It's not a perfect comparison, but if we go by the Steam Hardware Survey, the first item I can find on the list that's not supported with the latest beta drivers is the GT 730, at 0.21% of users. And it's from June 2014.
Its passmark score is 835, which is lower than the 9 year old Intel HD 520 (867). I somehow doubt though that driver support for Vulkan/Wayland will be the major blocker.
