Ok, it seems to have worked as the game I was using for testing seems to be working fine.

Although, I keep getting the error message (WARNING: radv is not a conformant Vulkan implementation, testing use only.), is that to be expected?

Ok, do I need to restart my computer now?

For some reason, I can't get Lemmy's "code" fuction to work properly in this reply but both commands give the same information:

`j@j-HP-Notebook:~$ vulkaninfo --summary WARNING: [Loader Message] Code 0 : terminator_CreateInstance: Failed to CreateInstance in ICD 2. Skipping ICD.

Did I do it correctly? GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash radeon.cik_support=0 amdgpu.cik_support=1" After saving, is there anything else I have to do it get it to work?

This is what I get when I try to run that set of commands: `j@j-HP-Notebook:~$ sudo apt install mesa-vulkan-drivers mesa-vulkan-drivers:i386 libvulkan1 libvulkan1:i386 vulkan-tools vkd3d-demos mesa-opencl-icd clinfo libxrandr2 libxrandr2:i386 libvulkan-dev libvulkan-dev:i386 libgl1-mesa-dri libgl1-mesa-dri:i386 vkmark glmark2-x11 firmware-amd-graphics radeontop xserver-xorg-video-amdgpu [sudo] password for j:

Because Vulkan has never worked out of the box for me in either Ubuntu nor Linux Mint and every single search result on every single search engine states that Ubuntu and it's derivatives need that PPA for Vulkan to work. I would have tried other solutions if there was even a single mention of another way to get Vulkan working.

My computer has an AMD Radeon R2 Graphics. It seems like both the radeon and the amdgpu modules are installed but the kernel driver in use is radeon. I'd show the output of "vulkaninfo" but it doesn't seem to show the full thing, is there a way I can get it to show the full output?

The GPU is an AMD Radeon R2 Graphics. It was a bit hard for me to find and I have no idea if it's accurate but it should support at least Vulkan 1.2.170.

Ok, what is my solution then? Right now, the only thing I know is that when ever I try to run anything in Linux that requires Vulkan, it defaults to Lavapipe instead of using my GPU and if I try to disable Lavapipe, it acts like Vulkan isn't installed.

I would but I'm actually using Linux Mint because the Xfce edition has low ram usage. My computer's ram is very slow and it's only 4GB.

My GPU shouldn't be too modern because it just recently became EOL. The only thing I know is that when ever I try to run something that requires Vulkan in Linux, it defaults to using Lavapipe instead of my GPU and if it try to disable Lavapipe, it acts like Vulkan isn't installed.

Outside of sorting them by artist, album and maybe something else depending on what it is, I kind of don't. If there is a song that I like, I'll download it and add it to the folder where I keep all of my music. Yes, this does cause a playlist that is massive and kind of sporadic but I already listen to artists like A-one and Sound Holic which already have at least some level of variety to the style of music they make.
