Vulkan, the successor to OpenGL, has been around since 2016,
but I have yet to encounter any GNU/Linux software that uses
it.

<https://www.vulkan.org/>

I believe that Vulkan is used in games, but since I am no
longer a stupid, idiotic baby child I don't indulge in games.

What GNU/Linux productivity software,if any, uses Vulkan?

AI ecosia.org says:

Graphics and Visualization Programs

Blender rCo as mentioned earlier, uses Vulkan for rendering the user interface.
Krita rCo a digital painting and illustration program, experimentally supports Vulkan to accelerate rendering.
Darktable rCo a RAW photo processing tool, experimentally testing
Vulkan support for GPU acceleration.

I'll never use blender. It is for stupid commercial animations.

The mathematical renderings require lots of programming. I can
accomplish the same or better, and a lot simpler, with Geomview or MathMod.

But this mentions "user interface" only. The UI doesn't require
such acceleration, but blender is WAY too bloated regardless.

Krita rCo a digital painting and illustration program, experimentally supports Vulkan to accelerate rendering.

This is KDE only software. I'll never use it nor would I ever WANT
to use it.

But, after 10 years, it is only "experimental?"

KDE is junk.

Darktable rCo a RAW photo processing tool, experimentally testing
Vulkan support for GPU acceleration.

Darktable is another completely unnecessary GUI. It is intended
for digital idiots that don't know anything.

I process RAW files using CLI only and the results are far better
than what the junk Darktable could ever produce.

But this is, again, after 10 years, only "experimental?"

===========================
Also, you should NOT consult AI for anything. By doing so you are
only encouraging the commercial AI entities to continue their push
to include AI everywhere.

AI is garbage. The best way to defeat AI is to ignore any and
all AI offerings.

Just do a regular search.

Your state probably doesn't allow gambling either.

Gambling is also known as a "tax on the stupid."

Therefore, what government entity would NOT allow
gambling? It is a free and uncontested revenue stream.

As for games ...

Sure you are:

Plus you're mid-40s and still live with/off Mom.

Strong agree. I have yet to buy as much as a lotto ticket.

I'm running Win11, but the only game I might play, if that, is solitaire.
