Running Steam or some applications use your selected AMD Vulkan driver when this environment variable was set. e.g:

- `/usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/radeon_icd.x86_64.json` for `vulkan-radeon`

- `/usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/amd_icd64.json` for `amdvlk`

- `/usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/amd_pro_icd64.json` for `vulkan-amdgpu-pro`
