Why is linux supporting taking a while? I figured the underlying graphics subsystem on Android is Vulcan right? Wouldn't that also be the main graphics subsystem on Linux these days?



Testing/Validation and bugfixing. Just having Vulkan isn't enough to enable it by default, everything actually has to work right. Even for Android this is only for specific types of devices. You should be able to force enable it on Linux right now though. It's just not GA quality guaranteed.


I tried and tried and tried, Chrome 120 will always stick an undocumented Origin Trial for disabling WebGPU.
