Repro Steps

Run vulkaninfo --summary

Expected Behavior

I expect vulkan to use the actual GPU in WSL2

Actual Behavior

It uses lavapipe software emulation

Diagnostic Logs

No response

Start by reproducing vulkaninfo --summary in the reported WSL 2, Ubuntu, and AMD GPU environment, then compare the exposed device with the expected hardware. The issue is done when Vulkan selects the actual GPU instead of lavapipe software emulation; no source files or tests are identified in the report.
