He mentioned several reasons for switching to OpenGL, but I’m not sure why it matters compared to the current version. I’m curious if any of my games in Steam are compatible with OpenGL. My GPU is an R9 270.

Unless you intend to move to Linux, disregard him.

He only mentioned it was better for certain very particular reasons that don’t really fit with me, and I wonder if he even understands what doom is in vulkan.

For your card, using DOOM in OpenGL may offer improved performance compared to Vulkan.

You rarely choose to switch to OpenGL directly. Instead, you typically rely on the API the game was designed for. You might notice options between various DirectX versions, or (in one scenario) between OpenGL and Vulkan, but it's uncommon to find a direct choice between them. Based on what I understand, your list likely refers to games running on Windows with DirectX 9 or 11. Some of these support OpenGL only in their Linux or Mac OS X versions where DirectX isn't available.
