Do you think wayland/vulkan will make better ports on linux ?
Voltage Aug 28, 2017
Hello, I'm really Hyped about the combo wayland / Vulkan.
I would be happy if games porters think it will make their work easier.

What did you hear about it ?

@mirv Well said!

@Voltage also note that Vulkan sure is an incredibly powerful tool but doesn't neccessarily mean that people will use it correctly. If the developers put the time and effort to develop Vulkan optimized title, it should run well across the board, however if they port to it from other APIs and don't really fine tune it it could be terrible... So really while the tool itself is awesome it doesn't neccessarily bring improvements by default. However it enables developers to have better tools for development of multi-platform titles :)

Vulkan = easy driver development, direct hardware control, DX GL developer friendly, high performance, Good community and support.
true cross-platform. it almost works on milking machines with some hacking. (even tho this machines has no video output.)
but Not mature yet still improving faster than anything making porting efforts easy.
Wayland = just a graphic server altarnative to xorg. nor a part of it neither the component. Still impacts on performance. and it should be standart for distros. then we will start benefit it natively.
