    Vulkan is a new tool that allows more raw access to the video card. It's possible for it to be better, but only after extensive work.

    A metaphor might be like. Open gl is buying a mostly built engine, and vulkan is buying all of the raw materials to build the engine.

    After a brief search, it looks like Vulkan is so new that you'd want to stick with OpenGL for a while, until the fresh bugs are squashed by early adopters. If you want to be an early adopter, have fun, but don't expect to make a stable game with it yet.
