Many older titles or native Linux games will still run. However, because the support is "incomplete," you may encounter graphical glitches, missing textures, or crashes in specific titles.
However, a quiet but significant storm has been brewing in the Mesa Git repositories. Users running modern Linux kernels on Sandy Bridge or Ivy Bridge hardware have been greeted by a stark console message: mesa-intel warning ivy bridge vulkan support is incomplete
Simple Windows applications translated through compatibility layers (like Wine or Proton) may initialize successfully. What Fails or Degrades Many older titles or native Linux games will still run
Intel HD Graphics 4000/2500 only partially conforms to the Vulkan 1.0 specification. Missing Hardware Features Users running modern Linux kernels on Sandy Bridge
Most games running through Wine or Steam Proton can be forced to use OpenGL, which has much better support on Ivy Bridge.
Because of these gaps, the ANV driver for Ivy Bridge cannot pass the official Vulkan Conformance Test Suite (CTS). In the world of open-source graphics, exposing an un-conformant driver without warning users could cause unexpected system lockups or software crashes. Real-World Impact: What Happens if You Run Vulkan?
To understand the warning, you must first understand the history of Vulkan on Intel’s older GPUs.
