I'm going to be honest, I had never heard of openFrameworks until today. It claims it's a C++ toolkit that glues together several commonly used libraries to help you work quickly. They are working on a Vulkan backend that now supports Linux.

They just in the last day posted an update on their progress, and they claim they have their Vulkan backend working on Linux and Windows, apparently Linux is faster too.

You can see their full update post here. You can also find the github for the Vulkan work here.

Exciting to see more and more toolkits adopt Vulkan! Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

I use OpenFrameworks all the time for my work...however the Vulkan stuff is very premature. Will be interesting to see how it pans out.
