Linux Q3 Test Statistics
November 28th, 1999 by CrusaderLinuxQuake.com updated with an e-mail from id’s John Carmack concerning the number of Linux clients playing Q3Test and Q3DemoTEST:
Mac has held steady at 5% of the players. Linux was about equal to the mac, but dropped off, probably due to players dual booting into windows.
Seeing as how the Linux releases of Q3Test 1.08 and Q3DemoTEST lagged behind their Win32 counterpoints, 5% should be fairly in line with most expectations of Linux Quake 3 market share.

Does anyone besides 3dfx have a decent consumer-level OpenGL/Mesa3D driver? I know nVidia is talking of having one out yet this year that’s capable of running Q3Arena, but is there anyone else? I think that this lack of GL support and XFree86 DRI is going to really skew the data (not to mention all products being released at a later date).
