Linux should work too.

Can't test it as my Radeon does not yet have a Vulkan-capable driver on my favourite OS.
So maybe someone else will wants to give that one a try.

I compiled it and it runs but it doesn't seem to save any settings an changing the resolution causes a segfault. I'm using a GTX 760 with the 367.35 drivers btw.

Any performance improvements/regressions? Quake (without any modern trickery like dynamic lighting) is quite likely CPU bound these days and Vulkan might bring some benefits in that area.
