Also gtk4 and qt5 use vulkan now. It is intended to demote qt to universe for 19.04. gtk4 is not expected to enter Ubuntu main until 19.10 (or maybe later).

[original description] As of January 2018, the Vulkan packages (libvulkan1, libvulkan-dev, vulkan-utils) are currently in the Universe repository instead of Main for Ubuntu 18.04. Since the Vulkan packages are in a mature state and with future GTK and Qt development looking to adapt Vulkan, it would be important to have the Vulkan packages available. This change will affect game developers the most as they will know that Vulkan will be available to them for future development. There has been a lot of movement in Mesa 13.3 and above with the RADV driver where it has matched and exceeded the non-free alternatives. It is essential to get improved Vulkan support for GNU/Linux in general as we have finally had a great alternative to OpenGL. If possible, the movement of mesa-vulkan-drivers out of Universe as well would be a HUGE benefit. Especially if mesa-vulkan-drivers is installed by default in Ubuntu 18.04 bringing in full support for Vulkan. This is helpful especially since Ubuntu 18.04 is a long term support release.
