Had a really bad server today, so it looks like that's still a thing :(

Quoting: Mountain ManWe might think they're making dumb decisions, but Apple didn't become the richest company in the world by being stupid.

Wait, where is this from? Richest company? I can only find one article supporting that statement. It seems like they are high up but not highest, unless you are looking at value, not riches?

Hi Nox,

Where did you read this?

Thanks!

Check out the comment thread for OpenGL and Mac, there is more about it there. But here is an issue related to it, with little progress:
https://github.com/KhronosGroup/Vulkan-Docs/issues/366 [External Link]

And a relevant quote:

"no vulkan allowed" storefront.

You mean Vulkan API apps are not allowed on the Microsoft store?
Really? Can you please point me to a source?

It's part of the UWP model, where the Vulkan ICDs can't be loaded (edit: not entirely accurate, it's more of surface presentation bindings than unable to load drivers, --edit2: actually it seems native Vulkan driver can't be installed on Windows 10S as well, so....crap). This is what makes the Vulkan Portability Initiative so welcome, because developers can target Vulkan, with a wrapper shim library converting to DX12 without needing Vulkan drivers.

And the most recent conference regarding vulkan. They mentioned that nothing has been made yet regarding the shim library needed. Link [External Link]

There is also this article which confirms it: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2018/02/vulkan-is-coming-to-macos-ios-but-no-thanks-to-apple/ [External Link]

While Windows, unlike macOS, does have Vulkan drivers from GPU companies, applications sold through the Microsoft Store are only permitted to use DirectX.

To finish off though, I'm not very knowledgeable about this, just echoing other lovely members of the GOL community :)

Alright, so it seems like the post I read about it might have exaggerated it a bit then. Still doesn't sound good until a solution is found.

EDIT: I don't know the details, only read about it briefly. Read further down for more information from smarter people.

Quoting: GuestCanceled. What is needed is code on an actual standardized open and thus never controlled platform, like syncing Github with Freenet or some other decentralized and open system like that.

Like git-ssb? [External Link]

I'm very interested in seeing where it'll go. (Kind of like watching what Trump is doing in America...)

I recently read that Vulkan games aren't allowed on the windows store (which they seem to be pushing devs and users towards). So, I'm not trusting Microsoft to do what's best for general PC users. They'll end up doing whatever is best for their own business (which makes perfect sense), and I doubt that will benefit github in the long run.

God damnit, we've been having issues getting fallout 3 to run stable in wine for a few days now. If this works well I wish I had found this before fiddling with it on my own...
