Bug Description

The drivers are available at https://launchpad.net/~canonical-x/+archive/ubuntu/vulkan so please give the option to install a Vulkan compatible driver for Ubuntu 16.04. Since this is an LTS, we don't want to hold back Vulkan adoption and SteamOS ships a Vulkan compatible Nvidia driver by default.

We provided that PPA because we could not include those drivers. This, however, does not mean that 16.04 won't get a Vulkan driver after its release.

When NVIDIA release a long term support driver that features support for vulkan, we will include it.

As for AMD, we certainly have plans to keep both radeon and amdgpu updated.
