Recently I had a first look into Vulkan development. So I started by reading a Vulkan Tutorial. It’s rather detailed and actually it takes a long time before you see your first shaded triangle (about 900 lines of code!). The Vulkan Tutorial has some software requirements on Linux, which are explained in detail in the Development environment for Linux. In order to make things easier for openSUSE users here is the package list you need to have installed. Just install them via zypper.
