I did a search for these :point_down:

but I was like this :face_with_spiral_eyes:, I'm not sure if I need them. I ticked the first vkBasalt (because I read that enhances game's visual graphics), should I tick every extension that I see identical to the one that I tick? Clicking the extension doesn't show any info so I don't know what changes between each one.

I did a search and I only got more confused. Many websites were marked Missing: rs880 | Must include: rs880 (you know, when Google marks this under the website preview), one looks like not recommending Vulkan on AMD, the thing looks more complicated than I thought. But I simply supposed that as on Freedesktop Platform Vulkan extensions are displayed it means that they are supported otherwise why displaying them? Simple common sense :smirk:.

I don't need this one, at least until a developer wants me to send detailed bug reports and that kind of info that MangoHud can display, and the game doesn't have an option to display them :grin:. Thanks for explaining clearly.

When I install an extension should I install any available twin one or only one? I don't get the difference between each one, and displaying no info when clicked is weird, kind unhelpful. Except the extension choice, this is the thing that I didn't like most and caught me off guard.

Sure, but what do I search if, as I said, clicking any extension doesn't show even a pixel of info about itself? By the way, to be sure I install any identical, if there's no problem. Then openh264 was already installed twice and I see no issue on playing videos. But for some reason, a movie (in mkv format, video/x-matroska) was having some triangular sections seeping each other on certain moments, I wonder if it's due to my twin openh264 installed :thinking:.

A bit off topic: should I check cdrom:[Zorin-OS 16.1 Core 64bit]/focal main restricted (on Software and Updates > Other Software)? I don't know what it does but I was thinking if it's a kind of enhancement. I searched it but results are unrelated and explain how to run commands about it or fix its issues :expressionless:.

Well, yes, it's understandable :unamused: :money_mouth_face::moneybag:
