Update: The experimental Linux build of Unity 5.6 is now available.
Unity 5.6 beta is now available and it brings Vulkan into the main builds of the Unity engine, exciting times!
The blog post states that they have seen Vulkan give up to 60% better performance than OpenGL, so that's rather impressive!
The experimental Linux builds of the Unity editor have not yet been updated for 5.6, but it shouldn't be too long based on how quickly they have put them out recently.
It also includes SDL for the Linux version:
