Still waiting to get fire emblem fates SE (Nintendo New York apparently has a bunch in stock). I am willing to wait a *very* long time if I must (used copy ftw?).
Hey, quick question, on intel GPUs how is dolphins opengl performance between windows and linux? Which one is faster?
Windows I guess? Intel don't provide linux GPU drivers AFAIK.
MESA handles OpenGL for Intel GPUs and AFAIK their drivers are top notch, on pair with the proprietary NVIDIA drivers for Linux...

Nah. It's prolly still the best FOSS video driver, but it comes nowhere close to nvidia's driver in terms of extensions support.Â
The biggest issue with Intel drivers is that, while their drivers are very good, it doesn't matter because the hardware will never be used (and prolly can't) for more than watching cat videos.
I've noticed that, while my experience of constant pain and frequent inability to walk seems to have mellowed me out a fair bit and increased my motivational drive, it has also caused me to be far more impatient.
Either that or the head injury did it.

Intel is actually a very big contributor to MESA (for support for its own hardware, obviously), if I recall correctly. As Jhonn said, that's what powers Intel's GPUs on Linux.
Intel's Linux drivers do OpenGL better than their Windows drivers even.
It's very good. Some people are raising a stink though that Intel is starting to implement firmware blobs along side the mesa driver starting with Skylake (Or after Skylake, I forget). I personally don't care as long as their stuff continues to work as well as it does out of a stock (Insert popular distro here) install.
Please explain what I am looking at here.
