  • MoltenVK

    MoltenVK is a Vulkan Portability implementation. It layers a subset of the high-performance, industry-standard Vulkan graphics and compute API over Apple's Metal graphics framework, enabling Vulkan applications to run on macOS, iOS and tvOS.

  • nix

    Nix, the purely functional package manager

  • I’ve opened a PR to add MoltenVK to nixpkgs. Once it’s merged, I plan to get as many of the other Vulkan-using packages building and running on Darwin as I can (including WINE and DXVK).

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • The PR builds from upstream (see snippet below from the derivation). While it supports DXVK, that support is optional and disabled by default. When the user sets supportDxvk to true in an override, it will patch the upstream sources (based on the patch from Gcenx’s repo).
