Vulkan is getting pretty popular lately, there are certain high-profile games on Linux that use Vulkan *exclusively* (you can't run them on OpenGL), and there are many other games which have Vulkan as an option, which might improve performance. The latest breaking news were Valve enabling Wine-based compatibility layer in Steam, that can be used to run many Windows-only games on Linux, and it's again relying on Vulkan. So Vulkan is definitely getting mainstream. > > In order to have Fedora Workstation appealing to general users, I believe it should be a good choice for gaming (Christian wrote on his blog about considering including gamemode by default, that also ties into this). > > Is there any reason why Vulkan drivers are not installed by default in Fedora Workstation? Is that something we can fix for F29? The maintainers might not feel they're ready or not have the resources to support them OOTB. The mesa/Xorg team is pretty active enabling things by default they believe are ready. _______________________________________________ desktop mailing list -- desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to desktop-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
