    Phoronix: Fedora 29 Succeeds At Flicker-Free Boot Experience On Intel Hardware

    After optimizing the Linux laptop battery life last cycle, Hans de Goede of Red Hat has been working on Fedora 29 to provide a "flicker-free" boot experience. A Linux desktop flicker-free boot has been talked about for a decade or longer but with Fedora 29 and using Intel graphics that is finally becoming a reality...

    Hans De Goede is a rockstar. Do we really deserve this excellent man?

            This is so very much overdue and so very awesome!

            Hopefully it can be configured to emit text on top of the graphics so that one can know the boot stages.

              ESC - key, as always...?!

              SUSE is working on the 'same'.

                Along with Solus.

                  I wonder how hard it would be to detect a black area of the screen and draw some sort of animation. Regardless, this is amazing! Fedora is the new leader in Linux "polishing"; still like Debian better though. I hope Linux computer vendors help integrate this with UEFI logos and different distros.

                    What do they mean by "flicker"? The code that runs across the screen? Thats part of the Linux boot experience, thats not even a bother.

                    So they been glancing at Windows and felt like it wasnt "cool" enough? Jesus christ, linux-devs, learn to ignore peer-pressure...
