It would be nice if Konsole history files could be compressed with lz4, as they can get quite large:

$ ls -sh /tmp/konsole-bslwXP.history{,.lz4}

So even though I get ~110fps in LZDoom on Sway and only 50 on Weston, Weston still has a low overhead?

The horrible tearing I get is actually...

Softpipe is a reference implementation. It was never developed to be used directly.

However, when another driver gives different results...

[archsway]

If you see anyone trying to install Weston, do the world a favour and show them Sway or Wayfire instead.

They have a far lower overhead than...

Looks like it is still broken on ARM:

      3787 Illegal instruction     (core dumped) | GUILE_AUTO_COMPILE=0 ../meta/build-env guild

Last time I checked, this was broken on armv7 for almost all distributions except Debian-based ones.

[archsway]

It also introduces a pile more unsolvable problems, such as making it impossible to do window tabs (multiple applications sharing one titlebar) without...

Windows waits until you're not looking then restarts and spends hours updating too. Package management systems are a relic unsuitable to modern system...

But I like having to move my mouse around and running find / when generating keys!...

Mesa seems to benefit quite a bit from LTO.

Add this to the meson command:

Actually, removing python2 only decreases squashfs size by about 5 MB.

EDIT: This is on Void, other distributions have more bloated python2...

You could say the same about GNOME....

If GIMP gets a header bar with no option to disable it, the number of users using old versions of GIMP through WINE will increase even more....

I agree!

There is no such thing as a good user experience with Photoshop, no matter what your background is....

[archsway]

People that like the Photoshop UI do not use the GIMP. They use Photoshop.

Why should a far superior image manipulation program deliberately...

I'm not sure how OpenGL->Gallium3D->Vulkan->driver could be faster than OpenGL->Gallium3D->driver....

[archsway]

This is the OpenGL driver in Mesa, just with 10k lines of code for making Vulkan the backend....

[archsway]

And how many of those 40 threads actually have any work to do 95% of the time?...

Is most of that the AMD GPU kernel drivers or something?

When I do a kernel compile for my system (ARM) the build directory only grows to...
