NVIDIA recently updated their mainline driver to support it on Windows and Linux. AMD's support is in beta driver and only for Windows.

I don't know how NVIDIA's linux driver is structured but I'm curious if they use a separate Vulkan .so file like NVIDIA's OpenGL library which one has to make sure is used instead of Mesa.

The good news is that Vulkan was designed with a multi-GPU (vendor) use case in mind so there is a generic "loader" that you use to load vendor-specific Vulkan implementations for each GPU your application renders with.

Please also note that AMD's Vulkan beta driver is not packaged with DirectX, so you should give it a pass unless you are a dev or you have a game that supports it.

What's the role of DirectX in that context?
