Proposed GNOME Patches Would Switch To Triple Buffering When The GPU Is Running Behind

tildearrow Read the MRs. The new driver clearly got some regressions compared to the old one.

Adding permanent braindead hacks to deal with a temporary driver regression is not the answer. No wonder the GNOME codebase is the utter cluster@#$% it is. And this is from one the LEAST incompetent contributors. eesh... :/

tongue in cheek ...why don't we use a game engine to render the desktop

You mean like what Arcan does: https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?pa...Display-Server

I just deleted the post. :l

The open-source drivers are well-optimized already, and while there is more room for optimization, GNOME traditionally has been slow and a resource hog (but this has been changing lately).

Edit: Oh wait you're part of the clan... never mind....

I'm not. Believe it or not, I'm just a happy gnome user. I like it. I don't have tons of extensions installed (albeit there are 3 I really find useful) and I do even dare to use Wayland to good success. I just can't stand the annoying trolling of the KDE/X.org Trolls. As far as I'm concerned: you're one of those, any you're part of the fun (read 'ruining of every discussion').

Yes, 2D rendering on Linux sucks. Always had. Nothing to see here, move along.
