Vulkan is a low-overhead, cross-platform API, open standard for 3D graphics and computing. Vulkan targets high-performance real-time 3D graphics applications, such as video games and interactive media. It is highly perfomant for linux os. And unreal engine 5 has good support for it. But my laptop’s graphic card doesn’t support vulkan or may be drivers aren’t made.
# CHECK IF VULCAN IS WORKING:
# Install via yay:
sudo pacman -S vkcube-git
# usage: vkcube
## currently shows No Vulkan devices found.

The Render Hardware Interface (RHI) is an abstraction layer over several platform-specific graphics APIs. It is designed from the ground up to take advantage of DirectX 12, Vulkan, and Metal 2.0.

# If you’re getting any errors about Vulkan such as “Cannot find a compatible Vulkan device or driver.” just add -opengl4 as a launch parameter like so:
