Vulkan 1.4 is a really big release with lots of new features which are
important to Vulkan devs, so upgrading will help those and it doesn't
break other users.

Timo had done is once few years back, probably for 18.04 when Vulkan 1.2
was release in jan-2020, and canonical upgraded the vulkan loader for
1.2 on 2 year old LTS.

We don't want users with 24.04 LTS to live with older vulkan version for
next 10 years.

We already did verification of installing latest one from 25.04 and it
got installed without requirement for anything else and it works great,
without any issues.

Title:
  Need Vulkan loader to be upgraded to 1.4 in Ubuntu 24.04 LTS

Status in vulkan-loader package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Hi Timo,

  Vulkan has been upgraded to 1.4 version, which has many new features
  for app developers.

  Apps using Vulkan 1.4 APIs do not work on Ubuntu 24.04 as it has older
  loader (present in libvulkan1 package).

  25.04 has the latest 1.4 loader, can it be back ported to 24.04? It'll
  solve multiple app developer's issues using LTS 24.04 for their
  development.

  I'm working on Nvidia-Tegra device (aarch64), which uses Ubuntu 24.04
  and having older loader is hampering our ability to have this device
  Khronos certified with Vulkan 1.4 CTS.

  So requesting you to upgrade the loader in 24.04 to same version as
  it's there in 25.04.

  It does not have any other dependancy lib upgrades required, so should
  be easy to upgrade.

  Regards,
  Sandeep
