Thanks a lot! Yes, I meant your repo and it is a big plus point for openSUSE vs Kubuntu in my eyes that I can get these packages without a hassle....

smartalgorithm KWinFT actually is already a drop-in replacement for KWin (you'd need disman and kdisplay, too) which means you can try it out yourself...

[ms178]

You make it sound as it only effects sequential reads/writes on a M2-NVMe device but as CXL fundamentally changes how CPU+GPU+memory interacts together...

[ms178]

Thanks for the link! Hm, I got the impression that CXL also solves GPU-to-GPU coherency problems, here is a link discussing just that (albeit speculatively...

sandy8925 That might be a factor, but when Intel brings PCIe 5 to market this year for a mainstream platform, I would have expected AMD to come up with...

[ms178]

CXL is a huge enabling technology, that makes me wonder why AMD won't bring it to AM5 at launch with PCIe 5 as they will stay at PCIe 4.

[ms178]

It comes down to the individual device, really. My Xiaomi Redmi 3S (2016) still got Android 11 via custom ROMs, thanks to Qualcomms open-source policy...

Setting up a Sandy Bridge HP laptop with 5.13-RC was a nightmare. The problems started with several distros refusing to boot from an USB stick, crashing...

[ms178]

I guess they are somewhat reluctant to build something from the ground up, as Itanium and P4 are still remembered as huge failures. But they need to take...

[ms178]

The KwinFT project might be of interest for you (https://gitlab.com/kwinft/kwinft/-/commits/master). I haven't tried it on Wayland yet, but the X11 experience...

That would have been the answer given to me from the Calamares devs a year ago (as they said so themselves), but as manjaro-architect is no longer actively...

[ms178]

Too bad that the Calamares installer doesn't play nicely with RAID setups. I did open a ticket for that some years ago, but it is 2021 and not fully working...

[ms178]

With that name I would have expected a x86-64-v3 rebuild.

[ms178]

And the list with special commands and workarounds I have to use to configure my Linux desktop is only growing. Why? It is 2021, people expect things...

[ms178]

There are some engineering disasters along the way, but I guess the overall picture is still decent enough?!...

[ms178]

That, and I even throw Polly into the mix.

On the other hand, I've seen some breakage with certain modules, configs, Full LTO and so forth...

[ms178]

Yeah, that one was anoying which I've noticed, too and that was definetly something which you don't expect to happen in a point release at all. Fingers...

[ms178]

Is there a chance we get to see other unexposed features of Vega with a little more love from community developers, such as NGG?

[ms178]

I hope this work also will be beneficial as cache coherent interconnects between GPU/CPU work their way down to consumer level hardware. After all CXL...

First, I was speaking of Google's official Chrome build for Linux, not distribution provided Chromium nor any derivatives like Vivaldi. Second, the workaround...
