Has someone been able to run vulkan on an optimus pc?

[eduardo]

Hello, I have issues running vulkan programs on manjaro, I have tried with vulkan demos on wine (since to try linux native demos is needed to compile and etc), and also with The talos principle. But, with none of those vulkan works at all, so I want to know if someone succeeded (using bumblebee), and how?

Seems to be than bumblebee doesnt support Vulkan at all. To prove it, here is part of the log of the talos principle, this is when its running opengl

and here when I try to run the game with the vulkan renderer (primusrun (bumblebee) is being used of course)

So here it is

I discovered than bumblebee doesnt support vulkan, and since there is not an easy way to enable prime on manjaro I guess than the distro just doesnt support vulkan if you use optimus
