tl;dr WIP Vulkan support for old HD 6000 cards (late 2000s/early 2010s) developed by dev that also works on Xenia and implemented the complicated fragment shader interlock extension used by some emulators

That's great for giving old cards more use i guess, but if i were him u would just keep working on Xenia or move to other proyects.

To what effect though? How many people still have one of these sitting around?

They are relatively common in laptops and Wayland compositors will be trending toward Vulkan in the long run.
