    Vulkan Support On Mir Still May Be Months Away

    Phoronix: Vulkan Support On Mir Still May Be Months Away

    Back when The Khronos Group published the Vulkan 1.0 specification in February, we were told by a Canonical developer Vulkan support on Mir would come for Ubuntu 16.04. That didn't happen for Ubuntu 16.04 nor for last month's Ubuntu 16.10 and it looks like it may still be months before seeing support for using Vulkan on the Mir display server...

    Eh, no big deal... it's not like anyone is using Mir anyway, so if it can't run Vulcan-based games, it's not exactly inconveniencing anyone...

                Have been using Ubuntu since 2008. and depending on the mood i am amused, annoyed or comepletely irrelevant by/towards these kinds of announcements... i think the only thing that actually came pretty timely was the licensing thing... KMS didnt come soon, rootless X was promised for quite some time iirc and early wayland adoption ... not even to mention... if i have remembered something incorrectly or left some item out feel free to correct me. all i say is that its not the first time, and it wont be the last time Mr Shuttleworth has been or will be announcing anything rash and unestimatable (funny we just have this stuff in software engineering classes... Scrum -> I.N.V.E.S.T. criteria for sprint backlogs...)

                  Or anyone is really using Vulkan yet either...

                    Is Mir now using libinput properly or is that still in some WIP branch somewhere on launchpad?
