It is done primarily via PKGBUILDs which I update manually, as I am not that well-versed to automate that process yet. Feel free to adjust them to your...

[ms178]

Sure, but some parts are Arch specific and might be harder to achieve on other distros. The compilation process is the hard part (as you need a mingw-toolchain...

[ms178]

It's quite ironic that you mentioned using a performance-centric distro and Flatpacks/Snaps in one post together. I had terrible experiences with software...

[ms178]

Let's wait and see if the results back up the hype as we don't need another APO-like let down right now from Intel. Better software tuning is very much...

CachyOS might not be mainstream right now, but they offer up to x86-64-v4 Kernels nowadays and detect that during installation already. At the end of...

[ms178]

You are absolutely right about the patch in question which is not about architecture flags but optimizing a certain function for that specific ARM architecture....

[ms178]

They refuse to do so. Graysky's micro-architecture patch (that allows x86 architecture tuning) was shot down several times over the last couple of years....

CachyOS does use PGO on GCC, but not on the LLVM/Clang distro compiler as far as I know. However, CachyOS provides a llvm-bolt build which you can download...

[ms178]

Yeah, his blog series is legendary for all the insights behind ISPC and the related hardware features. And it is quite sad to see that AVX-512 became...

PGO is next, please?! See https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/71067 for the gains of the Windows release binary.

[ms178]

Thanks a lot for the provided context. I don't know if Nvidia wants to tackle that problem though, but considering they work on bringing explicit sync...

I know that this work is not for bare metal X11 server, I was wondering about native X11 support for HDR on KDE's Kwin and only that. Not Xwayland. Not...

[ms178]

I am not sure about HDR, but at least 10-bit colors are already supported by X at least, but not by default.

You need to pass this hunk into...

[ms178]

Sadly, the Kwin support is just one piece of the puzzle. By the way, CachyOS already carries some HDR patches for AMD hardware. There is also an Xorg/Wayland...

Look at my comment, I've linked a blog post from Timur that explains everything in more detail....

[ms178]

I am not a fan of seeing a working and implemented performance feature removed that was advertised as part of the next big thing in graphics. Especially...

[ms178]

After having tons of trouble with 6.5, 6.6 went much much smoother. Still, I saw a problem with my swap partition which caused shutdown/reboot problems,...

[ms178]

I found Unigine Heaven great for testing the overall functionality of the OpenGL stack and reported bugs to the developer in the ACO bring up. When it...
