Vulkan has advantages over OpenGL even if you don't care about visual fidelity.

- No global state

- You can select which GPU you want to use at runtime

- OpenGL error handling is terrible

- Validation layers!!

- Cool official artwork

- Fantastic documentation

- You can upload data to the GPU asynchronously from a second thread in a sane way

- Fancy GPU features - Mesh shaders, RTX
