Steam native or Valve's Edition, Vulkan Shaders

hi there, is there a good answer, what to install best, Steam with native library or Valve’s Edition?
In special concerning Vulkan functionality, as I would like to make use of Vulkan in
X-Plane. Maybe here the additional info, that I use a Radeon RX550 with free drivers, also that
those Vulkan shaders are loading for like an hour …
Any hints would be appreciated. : - )

In general I would recommend using steam with native libraries unless that gives significant issues.
For those issues there’s also a steam version with its own version of those libraries which can be used if for whatever reason the Arch libraries don’t work. sadly performance wise this can vary per game so I have no real answer for you in that regard besides that you could try both and see which runs better for you.
