Title: Vulkan 1.0 Released: What You Need To Know About This

Cross-Platform, High-Performance Graphics API ( -at -) Phoronix

Summary: "Today's the day! It's Vulkan day! After the better part of two

years of hard work, Vulkan 1.0 is ready to meet the world! Today The

Khronos Group is announcing the release of Vulkan 1.0 with an embargo

that just expired. This hard-launch today is met by the public release

of the first conformant driver. The first Vulkan-powered game is also in

public beta as of today, but the Linux situation as of today isn't

entirely exciting for end-users/gamers as most vendors are still baking

their Linux support with Windows generally taking priority. However,

even ignoring operating system differences, you need to make sure your

expectations are realistic before trying to fire up a Vulkan game while

giving developers time to learn and design for this new graphics API."
