Something which requires you to buy new hardware from a specific brand, and load an out-of-tree binary-only module on your kernel? That's not what I want graphics programming to be like.

The Vulkan API might be clunkier (I don't know, I haven't looked at the CUDA API, since I don't have the required hardware), but at least it can work everywhere.
