Edit: I think I’ve figured it out, it seems like Linux Mint defaulted to the wrong Kernel driver and I was able to switch it to the correct one.

I’ve already tried searching for this online but there is a reason I’m posting about it here. The last time I tried to install Vulkan drivers in Linux Mint, there was an update to the oibaf PPA that completely broke my Linux Mint installation and I had to manually reinstall it. I’ve read that, at least in the past, the oibaf PPA causes problems in Ubuntu but I can’t find another solution to installing Vulkan drivers in Linux Mint. Is that the only way to install the Vulkan Drivers in Linux Mint, or is there another way?

Also, yes, Vulkan works in Windows and it did work in my previous installation of Linux.

    I don’t know if I need to do that because Vulkan seems to be working now but is that correct? My sources.list file is empty and it states the wrong version of Linux mint. Should I actually edit “/etc/apt/sources.list.d/official-package-repositories.list”, seeing that that has the actual list of repositories?
