Phoronix: Mesa Lands DMA-BUF Feedback Support For Vulkan On Wayland

After being worked on the past year, Mesa 22.3 has landed support for Wayland's DMA-BUF Feedback extension for use by the Mesa Vulkan drivers with the Vulkan windowing system integration (WSI) code...

I'm not sure I understand this very well, but I hope to see it supported on KDE as well!
And I'm glad to see that Mesa 22.3 is so feature-packed and the next Debian release will have a very good base.
If it comes also with Linux 6.1 or 6.2, that will be an awesome release!

The GNOME 42 compositor added DMA-BUF feedback support, Swap / wlroots supports it, and so have other compositors.

It should be sway.

I don't want to do this, but come on. Typo something else...

The new thing here is i guess that it is not EGL only but Vulkan support now too.

Yeah I kind of agree. Too little sleep every day and too many worries increase typo rate.

That's great!
I can barely wait for the new Mesa release.

A further improvement into wayland-vulkan combination. The real transition towards a new graphical management able to overwhelm x11-opengl stack.
