GLX Gears is a popular OpenGL test that is part of the mesa-utils package.

Install GLX-Gears

sudo apt install mesa-utils

Run GLX-Gears

glxgears

NOTE: This tool is very old, very basic and only tests a small portion of the current OpenGL capabilities.

This will open up a window with an OpenGL rendering of a simple arrangement of three rotating gears.
The frame rate is measured and printed out on the terminal every five seconds.
