Vulkan has been out for nearly 2 years now and Linux users have been patiently (maybe not so patiently) waiting for open-source drivers. According to Phoronix, AMD is going to release those drivers in the next few days. These drivers are being released under the GPUOpen initiative and will be available on GitHub. Keep watching there and you’re soon to be rewarded.



They are promoting this open-source Vulkan driver for accelerating open-source Vulkan development on Linux, quick support for new AMD hardware, support for the Radeon GPU Profiler, easy integration of AMD’s own Vulkan extensions, and they will support third-party contributions to their driver.
