>The topic was why not Vulkan for a beginner, and D3D12 is a lot less work than Vulkan to get the same results.
It really isn't. It's OpenGL vs D3D11 all over again. They have similar amount of complexities, comparing them for the sake of learning isn't too productive.
With that said: Vulkan has a few but very excellent tutorials while D3D12 is a lot more "read the docs or consult your local graphics guru". I'd say for self-learners Vulkan is simpler to pick up just because of resrouces.
>Honestly though, if I was recommending any graphics api to start, it would be Metal.
Yeah, I've heard metal is nice. Shame it isn't really an option for me.
