Has anybody been able to build a statically linked binary that shows a Vulkan surface? I’ve put some context around this problem in the video. I understand that the vulkan driver has to be loaded dynamically - so it’s more of a question whether a statically built app can reliably load and talk with it. I think it should be possible but haven’t actually seen anyone make it work. I’m aware of “static-window9” by Andrew Kelley but sadly it doesn’t work any more (at least on my Gentoo machine T_T).
(I’m also aware of AppImages but I don’t think they’re the “proper” solution to this problem - more like a temporary bandaid - better than Docker but still far from perfect)
You know it’s bad when Linux YouTubers are arguing against Linux ports because Proton is just so much more functional for Linux gamers.
I mean, why support another API if you have already implemented one, right? Pretty sure there is a Flatpak Version of Proton, wo you can somehow bundle it as well
