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
