OpenGL 3.1 and Vulkan 1.2 in 2023? It's so terrible!

It's not "opengl 3.1" it's "opengl es 3.1" which stand for embedded system and roughly equals to OpenGL 4.3 spec.

Oh, my bad. But OpenGL ES 3.1 and Vulkan 1.2 is also not suitable to 2023. Hope the developers can make driver support Vulkan 1.3.

They did mention that gpu has open source mesa driver support

It's the lack of hardware AV1 that concerns me, as well as droppong h.264. Raw CPU means it'll still handle the latter, but since streaming will be moving to AV1 it's kind of questionable whether this will be a reasonable media center.
