Why did Hyperbola remove Vulkan? (lemmy.ml)

I'm not able to understand why Vulkan was removed from the Hyperbola project? What is not open source about this project?

Use your browser search on that page and type "vulkan" and you will find the reason. I couldn't link to it any better, sorry, am on mobile rn.

Thanks for the link, I knew hyperbola for many years from afar. Reading this gave me a lot more insight on the project. I find it very cool and pushing toward better software like GNU, openBSD and suckless.

Nothing is perfect but for server this distribution could be a nice option . I'd love to see an arm version of it. I guess RISC-V would also be a perfect match for them
