What does this mean? Practically, it means that we can pass the entire Vulkan conformance test suite.
There will still be bugs, of course, but those bugs are likely to be app-specific.

I’ve been hearing about this a lot. How would this NVK relate to nouveau driver?
NVK is a Vulkan driver while nouveau is an OpenGL driver. If I understand correctly there’s also a nouveau kernel module which interfaces with the userspace nouveau, but NVK might use another API. [1]

Apparently this is a new driver which uses the open source headers and Linux kernel modules from nVidia’s proprietary drivers, and it doesn’t borrow very much from nouveau driver because that one has different names for things in their headers due to the clean room reverse engineering aspect of nouveau. Although I am not an expert on this so I could be wrong.
