I wrote this,because your article sounded like; with Vulkan we will going into another porting sequence.
I think it's more accurate to say Vulkan will help lower the barrier to in house development. Graphics is only one part of porting too - file system access, audio, networking, etc, and all the associated platform testing remain - and that's assuming a dev doesn't want to tweak the engine to suit their own needs on the graphics side. DX12 also has a bit of a head start, so a lot of games might need DX12 -> Vulkan work.

So I think we'll see more games done in house, but I also see there will be a need still for porting.
Graphics are biggest issue.Other things are piece of cake,when it compares to graphics side.

Besides,i m not talking about games developed for Dx12 and ported to Vulkan.I m talking about native Vulkan games.So in this case,there will be just little adjustments for varies to platforms,which can be included in game engines in the near future

OpenGl is just a burden.

Developers should use Vulkan,instead of OpenGl.

Quoting: xaviI tried on Debian Jessie but it crashes here:

"Using libudev for joystick management
Importing game controller configs"

Does anyone fixed this problem?
Same problem here,Linux Mint 18.I said that to developer Matt on discord but he said "Linux is a mystery for me"

Probably,he just ported his game to Linux.His knowledge about Linux,and because of that his problem solving capacity is none

Actually,you can check on terminal again.It says some warning about Xrandr version.
