- pkulak 3y agoI'm surprised that Vulkan wasn't the target, which could then have something like Zink layered on top for OpenGL.
- kirbyfan64sos 3y agoThis gets mentioned basically every time. The gist is that: - OpenGL is a much easier target to support, in terms of having a functional desktop. Remember, hardware-accelerated apps have been runnable on Asahi for months now, while Vulkan support is still a while away. - Most of the work being done is common to OpenGL and Vulkan, so it's not exactly a ton of wasted effort.
- lonjil 3y agoZink requires a fairly advanced Vulkan driver, with many complex optional extensions. A basic Vulkan driver wouldn't cut it. So getting basic OpenGL working is much less work, especially since they can share a lot of work with Mesa's existing OpenGL drivers.
