Ubuntu zesty retroarch vulkan issue

To test vulkan, I decided to install retroarch and see how much I can get.
However, in ubuntu, there is a missing link preventing retroarch from launching with vulkan.

To solve this, do the following commands.
cd /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/
ln -s libvulkan.so.1 libvulkan.so

Opensuse Tumbleweedinstall steam with working tray icon.

 Tumbleweed is yet another rolling distribution.  Although comes with a ultra-useful GUI YaST, it takes lots of procedures to tame it and use it like an easier distro like Manjaro which has lots of pre-written scripts on AUR to ease things up.

 Here, I will go through the procedures required to get Steam working properly.
After installing all required proprietary drivers,

1. install libdbusmenu-gtk
zypper in libdbusmenu-gtk4.i586
2. Click Oneclick install

3. Install steamtricks and enable it.

Finally, enjoy your games.
