  I've been using vkguide to learn Vulkan and on this page it mentions:

• Vulkan physical device selection causes memory leaks?

  Following the tutorial https://vkguide.dev/ and using the VkBootstrap library, when I try to select the physical device, it causes a memory like the one shown below:

• I'm a beginner and I've been working on a project in opencl and opengl. would it be a good idea to switch to vulkan? -

  https://vkguide.dev/ has vastly surpassed vulkan-tutorial in terms of pedagogy, it's a much better place to start. That being said, OP should not be using Vulkan for this.

• vulkan-tutorial.com Swap Chain Memory Leak
  1 project | reddit.com/r/vulkan | 5 Jan 2022

  I'm using a debug build. Just a follow-up note: Before using vulkan-tutorial.com, I followed the https://vkguide.dev/ tutorial. When I was up to the part where we created the vkDevice, I had a ton of memory leaks. But after continuing on to the part where we implemented the VMAs (Vulkan Memory Allocator Library), all the memory leaks disappeared. I'm wondering if the vulkan-tutorial.com tutorial will do the same and fix these memory leaks if I continue on?

• Could you point some directions to a humble beginner?

  Then there's this Vulkan guide which is a fantastic first Vulkan project to tackle when you feel ready. Much of the graphics concepts will be redundant to the OpenGL tutorial I linked, so you can flip back and forth between the two as you like.

• How do I get started?

  Apologies, the actual link is https://vkguide.dev/. That's me not checking properly

• What c++ libraries did you use

  Imo https://vkguide.dev is better than Vulkan tutorial fwiw.

• What would be most beneficial to learn to get back up to speed?

  LearnOpenGL. If you've done GL before, you can blow through it pretty fast but make note of the stuff that's changed. Write a game or two in GL including some more complicated graphics (compute shaders, indirect multidraw, etc.) and then you could try jumping into https://vkguide.dev/ (much better pedagogy than vulkan-tutorial). Otherwise, you can go very far with "AZDO" OpenGL, so there's no rush to jump to Vulkan except for educational purposes.

• Using multiple struct types in a single buffer with descriptor sets

  I have seen an example of that in vkguide.dev, but the author there uses a single struct and is able to compute the offset easily in the draw loop

• Not able to display a triangle using tutorial code

• What did you wish you were told when you started learning graphics programming?
  1 project | reddit.com/r/GraphicsProgramming | 16 Nov 2021

  I spent two days straight chugging through vulkan-tutorial only to discover at the end that I had zero clue what I just did, and how to proceed. I hopped to learnopengl and had interactive 3D graphics on-screen within a couple hours. Also, https://vkguide.dev/ is way better than vulkan-tutorial.

• Any good vulkan tutorials I can follow?

  https://vkguide.dev/ was a lot better than vulkan-tutorial.com for me but yea. Then I spiced it up with some brendan galea when I needed a visual and that was that.

• I'm trying to make sense of this validation error message I only get on windows

  I'm not familiar with VkBootstrap, but looking at their docs and the example in the vkguide.dev tutorial (which it looks like you curbed some of that from), that all looks fine. Could very well be a bug in VMA with your particular combo of GPU, driver and OS!

• Can someone recommend me any good Vulkan resources

  https://vkguide.dev/ - do not use vulkan-tutorial as it is outdated and the architecture is questionable. Vkguide is way more modern. You are also welcome to join official Vulkan discord, where i learned a ton.
