About the app

Its vulkan drivers for the raspberry pi graphics card, I know it might fall under the headless category, but it would be nice to just have vulkan driver on Pi-Apps that lets someone just install vulkan drivers to play a game instead of looking on the internet for a while asking for vulkan on Raspberry Pi, its a nice quality of life thing for the average user, to just be able to click install for vulkan and get it over with.

What advantage does this have over a simple sudo apt install vulkan-tools mesa-vulkan-drivers?

zip is empty. vulkan drivers are shipped preinstalled on all default debian based distros (ubuntu, debian, even piOS now as of the March 15th 2024 images, etc)

closing as not our problem and unnecessary (above)

No worries! Thanks for reaching out. If you have any other ideas, I hope you return to suggest them.
The worst we can say is no, and through the process you might just learn something new about linux.
