An option to install proprietary support for gpu/vulkan via armbian-config.

[Gustavo M]

I've been noticing how troublesome that is to install the "free" gpu/vulkan packages on a distro and optimize accordingly... and on how proprietary packages are decently optimized as is. For instance, heres a video that shows someone running a switch emulator at a decent framerate on a RK3588 cpu with proprietary packages installed... while it is, well... borderline impossible to run with "free" gpu/vulkan packages. (I've tried following several guides trying to mimic the same experience as the video shows with "free" gpu/vulkan support... and I could barely make it run at a reasonable resolution. It was comically borked, to not say the least.)

 

Even if I'm completely wrong and babbling nonsense... I believe this should be a decent option for recently released sbc's that have zero support "out of the box" and could use "anything" to get em running asap.

 

...and theres a git repo that provides proprietary gpu/vulkan support via .deb files -- https://github.com/tsukumijima/libmali-rockchip

what exactly are you proposing?  do you think you could do the work (with some help if necessary) or are you hoping someone else might do this on your behalf?
