Reviews and mentions

• Skyrim on Linux or MacOS?

  On Linux, you have DXVK. On MacOS, MoltenVK exists but is incomplete. Your other option is MacOS's deprecated OpenGL support... which is worse than on Linux since it only supports OpenGL 4.1 (2010) while Linux supports 4.6 (2017)

  I'm quite new to vulkan, I'm not sure how to implement this... I made this github issue in the moltenvk repo https://github.com/KhronosGroup/MoltenVK/issues/1407

  Why would they though? There's a project called MoltenVK that achieves this exact thing. Though, it does translate Vulkan to Metal. Thankfully this means that ultimately anything running on Vulkan can run use it and run on macOS.

  Why not target an open, multi vendor API like Vulkan, and then use MoltenVK for Metal Support?

  I wasn't exact with my wording, but there is a layer implementation with https://github.com/KhronosGroup/MoltenVK as another user suggested. Not quite convert (like I said, which was wrong).

  macOS does have access to Vulkan via MoltenVK, Valve isn’t working on this but Khronos. The Metal API is 64Bit only so only wine64 can make use of this until CodeWeavers add trunking of Vulkan into wine32on64.

• Does float precision depend on graphics api , shader compiler or shading language ?
  reddit.com/r/vulkan | 2021-01-28

  There's actually an ongoing discussion on this over at MoltenVK.

• Is Vulkan generally available these days?
  reddit.com/r/vulkan | 2021-01-11

  OSX/iOS doesn't. There's MoltenVK, but it comes with a bunch of caveats you need to be aware of. Also, consoles.
