Vulkan VS photoshopCClinux

PS. I have tried to use vulkan-wsi-layer (https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/vulkan-wsi-layer) to support the VK_EXT_headless_surface, and use sample in https://github.com/SaschaWillems/Vulkan to builed a headless version triange. However, it failed at acquireNextImage from the swapchain.

Samples in https://github.com/SaschaWillems/Vulkan have shown how to use vkCreateHeadlessSurfaceEXT. But these headless samples crash at acquireNextImage from the swapchain. Now I guess the problem lies in the vulkan-wsi-layer.

BTW, this problem can be reproduced as described below: - clone https://github.com/SaschaWillems/Vulkan.git - build the project and run it with arguments : -v - s hlsl to enable the validation layer and to use hlsl code - run ComputeShader project. The following validation error "Type mismatch on descriptor slot ..." will be shown in the console. - to fix it, as suggested above, you can replace the 3rd line of emboss.comp, sharpen.comp, and edgedetect.comp from: Texture2D inputImage : register(t0); //Creates validation errors to RWTexture2D inputImage : register(u0); //no validation errors (you'll then need to recompile the shaders to spv with a proper hlsl compiler such as Microsoft dxc)

Another way I saw some projects start was by using example base classes (either Sascha Willems' implementations or the framework used by Khronos Samples).

It's not a tutorial but I'd recommend Sascha Willems examples. A good next step could be adding models and shadows (see https://github.com/SaschaWillems/Vulkan/tree/master/examples/raytracingshadows). It's a single file but you can easily understand what each function does.

Exactly as u/aerorang said. I recommend comparing your linked example with Sascha's gtTF Scene rendering example where he adds a normal map along with the base albedo texture. He also marked important parts of the code with the POI keyword, so you can search for them in the code.

Second, you need to learn the basics of Vulkan API, such as how to create instances, devices, queues, swapchains, command buffers, pipelines, shaders, etc. You can find some useful tutorials and examples on https://vulkan-tutorial.com/ , https://vkguide.dev/ , https://github.com/SaschaWillems/Vulkan34, etc.

Unless you need the newest features, Photoshop runs surprisingly well under Wine - and I don't mean this in the usual "oh yea, Wine totally works" way where it's a huge pain to set up and is 90% luck, it actually runs with barely more glitches than on Windows (not zero, but it's Adobe software, so you can't expect much).

This is the installer I used to use: https://github.com/Gictorbit/photoshopCClinux

This one is newer and looks even more promising: https://github.com/LinSoftWin/Photoshop-CC2022-Linux

Probably not. Your best bet would be to use a Windows Virtual Machine to run photoshop or just dualboot. Your 2nd best bet would be Bottles or Lutris if you absolutely must run photoshop on Linux and will accept no substitutes. I warn you that this may turn into a Frodo Baggins-esque journey for an experienced user. Here is a small guide: https://github.com/Gictorbit/photoshopCClinux

There are Linux repacks for Photoshop which isn't exactly legal but it sets up wine and it's much easier than installing it on windows https://github.com/Gictorbit/photoshopCClinux

Since then, I try to keep an eye on DaVinci Resolve things (like MakeResolveDeb) and things like the WinApps/cassowary, Gictorbit/MiMillieuh Photoshop installer, and Photogimp, or news like about OBS being officially supported on Linux through Flatpak and why that matters.

Yes, the GIMP UI is horrible. I haven't seen anyone say something different. Also you can use Photoshop on Linux but it's connected with a lot of hassle. https://github.com/Gictorbit/photoshopCClinux

I do use Krita but only for animation along with Blender for 3D scenarios like they do with Gumball "tv show", I'm happy that I can use Blender on Linux, I've heard about Wine and I'm more than willing to try it out as much as it's needed, I've been sent a link of a workaround to use even newer versions of Photoshop on Linux".

IV installed and used this quite a few times but not being an image editor kinda guy I cant vouch for everything working perfectly. https://github.com/Gictorbit/photoshopCClinux
