RE: Vulkan, think next generation OpenGL -- wikipedia[.]org/wiki/Vulkan_(API)
OpenGL & Vulkan essentially do the same stuff as Direct X -- provide a way for software [games] to talk to hardware directly, skipping a lot of the OS. Vulkan is new -- Intel just released Beta drivers in March -- & the emulator that the article talks about & links to is Alpha software, so expect a bit of work & fiddling etc. The emulator's site talks about running it on Linux too.
