Hey, I’ve been trying to use WebGPU on the chromium snap.
For that, I activated the following experiments on chrome://flags:
and launched the browser from the command line using:
chromium --enable-unsafe-webgpu --enable-features=Vulkan
Attempting to load any WebGPU demos (e.g. WebGPU Samples), however, unfortunately results in the following error:
WebGPU on Linux requires GLES compat, or command-line flag --enable-features=Vulkan, or command-line flag --enable-features=SkiaGraphite (and skia_use_dawn = true GN arg)
Notice that on the very same machine, the deb version of google-chrome successfully runs applications using WebGPU with the same flags.
