I got really curious about this. To my understanding, I have been using Vulkan on my Linux desktop computers for quite some time now. What Linux devices could the author mean?
- sp332 4y agoIn context, I don't think "many" means "most". You need a GPU from Nvidia or AMD, or an Intel platform at least as new as Ivybridge. That covers a lot of devices, but there are also a lot that it leaves out.
- npteljes 4y agoThat would mean that she's checking out 11+ years old Intel platforms, that doesn't seem plausible to me. Also "the only platform where Vulkan runs natively is Android". No, Vulkan seemed to be supported out of the box on the random distros I have tried.
