Phoronix: Fedora Should Soon Have The Intel Vulkan Driver

While the Intel Vulkan Linux driver has been part of mainline Mesa for months and shipped in Mesa 12.0 with support for running Dota 2 and The Talos Principle, the Fedora packages don't yet enable the Vulkan driver but that should soon change...

I'm thinking that RADV won't be ready to merge until after the mesa 12.1 branch point.

Honestly, it still has a bit of a hump to go, even though it's promising at a very promising rate.

Wayland + Vulkan + 4K + 120 Hz + FreeSync/G-Sync/Adaptive-Sync

Sounds like a good combo... one can dream...

Fedora has been quick to support upcoming or new stuff even if only a small minority would benefit from it, but with Vulkan which is a very big even in the Linux graphics world Fedora didn't bother getting it up asap.

That's also what I came here to say. Great that they are going to enable it - but it should have already been enabled IMO.

It seems there were some "issues" in the review process...

Seems odd though it hasn't been pushed yet though, most of the issues should have been cleared up.
