I was today in talks with a Dev from Mesa / Nouveau and here is what he has to say about the Status of Vulkan
<RSpliet> Natehaxx: same applies. All the work you read on Phoronix about a NIR front-end to the nouveau code compiler is in the anticipation of a shared SPIR-V -> NIR translation. SPIR-V is sorta-kinda the intermediate representation for both OpenCL and Vulkan
<RSpliet> "Vulkan support" is a monstrous task, and the "baby steps" taken currently are insufficient to make it work straight away but necessary on the path nonetheless
which means Vulkan for the Switch using the Mesa Open Source Drivers still in Baby Shoes and i dont think we will get any solution for it , maybe Nvidia will Finally Upgrade L4T to an Working Kernel which i doubt they will do
