Honestly, I probably shouldn’t be telling you what to do here.

If you are patient, you can wait until Vulkan is merged into the stable branch for nVidia, but otherwise it’s not terribly difficult to install the proprietary binaries if you just can’t wait… You just have to do everything right, and know what to do when something goes wrong. The problem is, we can’t use that – the beta binary isn’t available on it.

Installing nVidia drivers has gotten a whole hell of a lot easier with the Proprietary GPU Drivers PPA. Back-up your work, and be prepared to be entirely annoyed as you trudge through the hell of installing a proprietary binary on an open-source operating system. Expect entirely to run into problems, because this is no longer the “modern” way of installing/updating Linux graphics drivers, and is very error-prone. Installing the Vulkan Beta Drivers Warning: This is extremely dangerous to do in a Linux environment if you don’t know what you’re doing.

Plus they use CMake as their build system (which is a big plus in my book). I’m sure as the SDK grows more tools and samples will be added, but for now it provides a slew of sample applications, some basic test “is Vulkan functioning” applications, and helper libraries for creating your own Vulkan applications. This was one of the weakest points of OpenGL, and I think the existence of the LunarG SDK is Khrono’s answer to this problem rearing it’s ugly (and unfortunately necessary) head again for Vulkan. Providing tools, libraries, loaders, and a concise SDK for Vulkan so that application development is easy.
The LunarG Vulkan SDK is the official “wrangler”, if you will. OpenGL provides a rich, backwards compatible interface with many helper functions and features, and Vulkan provides raw power for a trade-off of more verbose integration of the API.
Khronos group owns OpenGL and Vulkan, and we will continue to see growth in both Vulkan and OpenGL specifications in the coming years.

Vulkan was jump-started thanks to the generous donation of code and research from the AMD Mantle project, which helped guide both DX12 implementation and the Vulkan specification (along with many other gracious contributors and supporters all outlined on the Khronos website). It’s important to understand that OpenGL and Vulkan are not competing technologies, but rather Vulkan satisfies a particular need within the graphics community for an efficient, cross-platform, parallel-possible graphics API. Vulkan is the cross-platform performance-driven OpenGL alternative. This is one of my first Linux servicing posts, so please leave feedback if you can. This should provide as a great starter point for anyone with an Ubuntu workstation and a compatible nVidia Vulkan-capable graphics card. With the announcement today of the Vulkan API specification, I just couldn’t resist helping you all get on your way to installing and building the LunarG Vulkan SDK along with running the sample Vulkan applications on Ubuntu 15.10 :).
