    So Vulkan is the hard truth and directX openGL is the easy life where everything just works? That has not been by experience at all.

      As a programmer, Vulkan is like OpenGL has decided to stop holding your hand and let you spread your wings. Learning curve is utterly brutal, but no more assumptions - you’ve complete control and everything is open to you.

      As a user? Install Wine and DXVK, or just Proton that brings everything with it, enjoy everything just working better. Not really a tough decision.

      If your GPU supports vulkan then vulkan it is, if not, then opengl, examples of opengl usage is older cards or/and nouveau driver, not nvk, and they work on backporting nvk to older cards too so even older Nvidia cards gonna support Vulcan one day, so, use Vulcan if supported
