How does Steam on Flatpak work?
Every program that needs Vulkan does indeed link against and call something with a well-known, long-time stable ABI. This is normally Vulkan-Loader, which provides libvulkan. For OpenGL, libglvnd is a nearly equivalent library that fulfills largely the same function and provides libGL/libGLES/etc.

Is the loader in integral part of the Vulkan API?
I'm reading through the official docs before I start a tutorial. The docs mention the loader but not very often. It does link to the loader's docs on github. I've read most of that. I still don't understand if it's an integral part of the API or just a tooling for certain use cases (multiple drivers, complex validation, etc.). I also listened to a webinar about the loader and the speaker claims he is the owner of the loader. That made me even more confused. Can someone please fill me in? Do all Vulkan apps interface with the loader before the driver? Thanks.

In Vulkan where the function set_api_version is defined?
It's from here: https://github.com/KhronosGroup/Vulkan-Loader/blob/393e23f91d21ce117c19e8c42e084477c3a25c7c/tests/framework/test_util.h

Not exactly sure, but what you describe seems similar to the issue https://github.com/KhronosGroup/Vulkan-Loader/issues/776 .

What is the real use of vkGetInstanceProcAddr( )?
This would be good to read to understand why some of the things are the way they are. https://github.com/KhronosGroup/Vulkan-Loader/blob/master/docs/LoaderApplicationInterface.md

External project leaking compile flags
Hey, so I have this project and I'm using CMake. The thing is, I need some dependencies and I've used FetchContent to download them (here the cmake modules). Everything works fine, except when I use '/ZI' compile flag. The thing is, one dependency (Vulkan-Loader) leaks '/guard:cf' flag to the main project and doesn't compile.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing Vulkan-Loader and vk_renderer you can also consider the following projects:
display-drivers-uninstaller - Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) a driver removal utility / cleaner utility
Vulkan-Headers - Vulkan header files and API registry
