Videra.Platform.Linux

English | 中文

Videra.Platform.Linux provides the Linux-native Vulkan backend used by Videra.

Current status: alpha. This package is the Linux platform companion for Videra.Avalonia. Native embedding currently uses X11 handles, and Wayland sessions rely on an XWayland compatibility path when available.

Responsibilities

  • Vulkan instance, device, queue, and swapchain setup
  • X11-backed native host integration
  • Wayland-session XWayland compatibility validation
  • Vulkan resource factory, command executor, and shader pipeline wiring
  • Native render-path validation on Linux hosts

Install

The default public consumer path is nuget.org:

dotnet add package Videra.Avalonia
dotnet add package Videra.Platform.Linux

Current alpha and contributor preview validation can still use GitHub Packages, but that feed is not the default public install route:

dotnet nuget add source "https://nuget.pkg.github.com/ExplodingUFO/index.json" \
  --name github-ExplodingUFO \
  --username YOUR_GITHUB_USER \
  --password YOUR_GITHUB_PAT \
  --store-password-in-clear-text

dotnet add package Videra.Avalonia --version 0.1.0-alpha.7 --source github-ExplodingUFO
dotnet add package Videra.Platform.Linux --version 0.1.0-alpha.7 --source github-ExplodingUFO

This package supplies the Vulkan backend for the current Linux native path. On Avalonia 11, native embedding remains X11-based; Wayland sessions use XWayland when available. VIDERA_BACKEND can prefer Vulkan, but it does not install missing platform packages.

Validation

Linux matching-host validation is explicit and should be run on a real Linux host:

./scripts/verify.sh --configuration Release --include-native-linux
./scripts/verify.sh --configuration Release --include-native-linux-xwayland
pwsh -File ./scripts/verify.ps1 -Configuration Release -IncludeNativeLinux
pwsh -File ./scripts/verify.ps1 -Configuration Release -IncludeNativeLinuxXWayland

Requirements

  • Linux with X11, or a Wayland session that exposes XWayland
  • Vulkan 1.2+ capable GPU
  • libX11.so.6 (or a compatible fallback name)
  • Vulkan drivers and runtime libraries
