whats metal

It's macOS's graphics API, like how Windows has DirectX and Linux has Vulkan.

Afaik, its Apples way to render things with their OS. It only works with Apple and its similar to DirectX which only works for Windows.

The best thing everyone should use is something that supports all platforms like OpenGL or Vulkan which is even Open Source

opemgl vs vulkan whays better?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Neither is inherently better. It depends on what you need. Vulkan gives you more control which can be beneficial for advanced rendering techniques however comes at the cost of requiring more knowledge to use. OpenGL is simpler but generally has higher driver overhead.
