driversintelvulkan
I'm trying to get Vulkan running on my linux laptop. I've tried this:
https://launchpad.net/~canonical-x/+archive/ubuntu/vulkan
from here:
https://01.org/linuxgraphics/blogs/jekstrand/2016/open-source-vulkan-drivers-intel-hardware
But the packages have been purged from the PPA. How can I get Intel
Vulkan drivers for Ubuntu 16.04?
Intel Graphics Installer now 1.2.0 supports Ubuntu 15.04.
Add Intel certificate :
wget --no-check-certificate https://download.01.org/gfx/RPM-GPG-KEY-ilg -O - | \
sudo apt-key add -
wget --no-check-certificate https://download.01.org/gfx/RPM-GPG-KEY-ilg-2 -O - | \
sudo apt-key add -
Install it:
sudo dpkg -i intel-linux-graphics-installer_*.deb
Run the installer.
Refer on the Intel Graphics Installer page for more information.
Default installation Ubuntu 16.04 should work somehow fine. Intel drivers are included in the default installation of Ubuntu 16.04 with Linux 4.2 kernel, and you the hardware acceleration works in VLC if you choose "XCB" output. But this is not the latest drivers from Intel. Here we read:
Recently, Intel released Intel Graphics Update Tool 2.0.2 which supports Ubuntu 16.04. Download it from here:

Try using the PPA from https://launchpad.net/~paulo-miguel-dias/+archive/ubuntu/mesa
It's mostly up-to-date and also includes Vulkan drivers for Intel GPUs. I'm using that one too for development.
