Edit: I think I’ve figured it out, it seems like Linux Mint defaulted to the wrong Kernel driver and I was able to switch it to the correct one.
I’ve already tried searching for this online but there is a reason I’m posting about it here. The last time I tried to install Vulkan drivers in Linux Mint, there was an update to the oibaf PPA that completely broke my Linux Mint installation and I had to manually reinstall it. I’ve read that, at least in the past, the oibaf PPA causes problems in Ubuntu but I can’t find another solution to installing Vulkan drivers in Linux Mint. Is that the only way to install the Vulkan Drivers in Linux Mint, or is there another way?
Also, yes, Vulkan works in Windows and it did work in my previous installation of Linux.
I’m not a Mint user but according to this page https://www.linuxmint.com/rel_wilma.php
- Run the Driver Manager
- Choose the NVIDIA drivers and wait for them to be installed
- Reboot the computer
I mean, there is, but people have worked hard to set it up so you can just click the button and it all happens.
