Do you have any recommendations for sources? I’ve used Vulkan Tutorial, which is a bit stale but I suppose still good for exposure. I’ve also used Vulkan Guide, before its latest overhaul. That one was educational. Not sure if I’ll be able to do their new guide, my laptop can’t run some of the more recent versions of Vulkan

If your laptop got still GPU driver updates in 2022 or later, it should probably support Vulkan 1.3. You can install Vulkan SDK (or just extract the archive) and check your Vulkan version by running the supplied "vulkaninfo" program.

For example, my 5 year old Thinkpad T490 fully supports Vulkan 1.3 and it only has an iGPU! :)

Khronos overhauled their docs last year. I've found the "Vulkan Guide" easier to read than the spec.

https://docs.vulkan.org/guide/latest/index.html

Not to be confused with the tutorial you're referring to.
