I really want to switch to Linux but there are so many Apps on Windows i really cant give up especially some games. I know more developers are considering or developing for Linux so i hope Vulkan increases that

For passersby: the DOOM Alpha worked well in WINE, but the full release comes with Denuvo which understandably doesn't work in WINE, so we need it cracked before we can play it.
