What went wrong?

Nothing

vested interests against it

nothing, it's going well

>>105686241 (OP)
Developers are lazy to drop directx and Xbox requires directx anyway

the only thing I can think of that went wrong was ml. what could have been...

>it's going well

>>105686348
considering what vulkan is, yes, it's going well. are you one of those opengl purists or something.

>>105686348
Literally every windows game on Linux is a vulkan game.

>having worse adoption than the previous API it was supposed to replace is doing well

>>105686387
again, it's doing relatively well. i don't get what's so hard to understand.

API that no one wants to use is not doing well

>>105686509
do you think i didn't know people don't want to use it or something?

>muh popularity argument
Your life is devoid of meaning. Stop attempting to infect others with your misery.

There's no reason to use Vulkan when dxvk and MoltenVK exist.

>>105686572
What the fuck do you think MoltenVK is? Hint: it doesn't let you run Metal binaries on Vulkan.

>i-it's not that i wanted this public API to be used by public, baka!

>>105686241 (OP)
allowed the steamdeck/linux gaming to to exist with the directX to vulkan translation layer?

>>105686348
If DirectX is the popular one why do like almost all of those graphics programming tutorials try to teach OpenGL?

>>105686662
Ever heard of phones?

>>105686662
DirectX chads don't need no tutorial.
They read the specs.

>>105686597
rape

directx better

>>105686241 (OP)
Developers are retarded, see unreal engine

>>105686662
opengl better.

>>105686831
>>105686914
yb better.

i'm sorry.

>"DirectX" sliding hentai puzzle game #4025783 on steam counts towards the DirectX portion

Lol, lmao

imagine if instead of having sql server, you were provided with key-value storage library and had to build your own sql server on top of it.
that's vulkan. it's not a graphics api per se, but a set of graphics primitives.

>>105687138
also, the idea of vulkan as middleware doesnt make much sense, because making graphics API in user space is a wrong abstraction layer.

>>105686348
Direct X does so much more than graphics, so you're comparing lemons with limes.
