OpenGL 4.4 on Linux -


i want learn opengl development , running linux mint. khronos.org says following:

the opengl 4.4 , opengl shading language 4.40 specifications released on july 22, 2013.

as far understand mesa opengl implementation linux 1 version 3.1 believe. question is, can develop opengl 4.4 apps in linux environment or have use mesa's 3.1 version?

you can develop opengl 4.4 software #including glext.h file http://www.opengl.org/registry/

you can run opengl 4.4 software using hardware drivers implement opengl 4.4 specification , gpu supports necessary hardware features. in practical terms, means need amd or nvidia gpu supports direct3d 11 , recent proprietary (closed-source) drivers gpu vendor.

mesa3d open-source driver framework, partial support opengl 4.x. proprietary drivers amd , nvidia replace mesa3d own opengl implementation.

note can develop opengl 4.4 software if system cannot run said software.
