Wow! acronym soup. I understand almost none of that.
These are the names of vulkan extensions, you can look them up to see what they do
Skill issues.
Just joking. These are Vulkan features to support. Normal users usually don’t read those and are not meant for anyway. The first part tells you the feature itself such as
VK_EXT_descriptorand the second part with “on” tells you on what hardware driver it connects to, such asnvkfor Nvidia Vulkan orradvfor Radeon AMD Vulkan driver.You can actually lookup the Vulkan features supported on your hardware. Depends on what driver and hardware you are using. The Nvidia panel list them somewhere (I’m no longer Nvidia user) and on AMD you can in example lookup in KDE Info Center. I’m also a noob and that’s all I know. :D
Most of the lowercase abbreviations are just the names of device drivers or platforms. VK is just Vulkan, GL is OpenGL, ARB is “Architecture Review Board” as its sort of a preview or extension feature I think. EXT presumably for extension. KHR is Khronos, the organization that creates the Vulkan and OpenGL standards, and the acronym apparently means it’s “Khronos-approved”. https://registry.khronos.org/vulkan/specs/1.1-extensions/html/vkspec.html#extensions
