Low-End Linux Gaming: DOOM (2016) Proton+Vulkan (GT 730M | i5-3230M | 8 GB)

NOTICE:
The game footage shown in this video was recorded on the hardware listed below.
No external devices where used (like capture cards) to record the game video and audio.
This means that the average performance is slightly worse than without any video capturing going.
NOTICE 2:
I consider games like DOOM 2016 and Elite Dangerous as the absolute borders of this system since they ran, but not in a very pleasant way.

=== About this Project ===
This video series aims to showcase if and how Linux gaming can be done on low end hardware.
Also this projects is meant to show the possibilities and also limitation of gaming on low-end hardware.
Furthermore this is a proof of concept if all that new shiny technology like Vulkan, DXVK, D9VK,
VKD3D, Wine, Proton and more is usable on hardware released long before some of this techs where even announced.
The Notebook used in this series was manufactured back in 2013 (more details below) and was btw. our first platform
where we've created our very first gaming videos on also on Linux back then.
This said be prepared for some footage of some games running but not running very well and
those which run playable.
This is also meant to show the limits of the hardware I am using and to give you the option to compare
your hardware to the one used in the videos to better decide if a game will work better or even worse on your end.
And if it is worth putting Linux on your machine.
