I have installed a fresh F29 system and I was a bit surprised that Vulkan
drivers weren't present on that system, I had to manually install them
(mesa-vulkan-drivers). 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?
Thanks!
