Hello.
There is relatively fresh iron.
Intel i7-8700, graphics used integrated into the processor.
A computer for surfing the Internet and some admin work.
Sometimes watch a movie and listen to music.
Xfce4 desktop environment.
So, what is better to use vulkan or vaapi?

May I suggest using "and" instead of "or".

vaapi: Video Acceleration API
vulkan: a low-overhead, cross-platform 3D graphics and computing API

You may want to install both!

Your question is equivalent to asking "JPEG or LCD?"
