    You mean Valium aka Diazepam

      But because they did, this has to happen...
      That's not biased at all xD

        looking at your nick, maybe you could use some Vallium

          Being rendered at 5 FPS doesn't appeal to me.

            Next release should be Mesa "Lithium Bromide"

              Exactly my thoughts - maybe this would mitigate the "Vulkan is not adopted widely enough to replace the existing stack" argument

                "Thalidomide" would also work.

                  Thalidomide is actually a fascinating chemical in its own right because of why it causes birth defects.

                  If you've ever played Mass Effect, you've heard of chirality (ie. levo and dextro) but what they don't tell you is that our environment is full of enantiomers (the jargon for molecules that are mirror images of each other).

                  For example, the levo version of carvone gives us the smell and taste of spearmint, while the dextro version is what gives the distinctive smell and taste of caraway seeds.

                  Thalidomide is fascinating because one form of it is effective against morning sickness, but the other form causes birth defects... and it's unavoidably racemic (the jargon for when you have equal parts of both versions). If you purify thalidomide and put just one kind into the human body, the chemical environment of the human body will allow it to recombine back into equal parts of both.

                    Michael I used too many Wikipedia links in my post again.

                    (It's too bad you don't have time to hack on the spam detector. Exempting sites like Wikipedia which do sufficient moderation of their own from the "is this spam?" calculations would probably be a good idea.)

                      Why would you want a slow software rendered Vulkan for the compositor rather than fast hardware accelerated OpenGL?

                      Or are you saying that because *you* have the hardware accelerated Vulkan everyone else can go to hell and put up with software rendering? Just so long as "Vulkan is being used!".

                      Sounds like not a solution to me. However I am sure Gnome will adopt it tomorrow and be even slower for non-gamers!
