I am going to presume you are just kidding, as triangles are quite typically a (sometimes only) primitive in GPUs. Once you can render a triangle you...

[CommunityMember]

And some people climb mountains just because they can. More (GPU?) power to them if they want, and can, do so....

[CommunityMember]

Yes, while a triangle seems trite, it is an important first step, as seen from previous efforts for GPU bring-up from other vendors over the decades....

It would appear that you may have forgotten the article from around 50 days ago about nVidia implementing DMA_BUF: https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?...

[CommunityMember]

Vulkan uses DMA_BUF, which the nVidia driver is on the road to support. And eventually (and eventually is not tomorrow, but neither is it years away)...

[CommunityMember]

While there are always exceptions, much of Linux userland can compile with llvm/clang. The Openmandriva distro is built with llvm/clang for example....

[CommunityMember]

Yes, and some vendors compile their production linux kernels with llvm/clang. There were actually dual paths involved to get to this step (over many...

[CommunityMember]

Actually, they do make a profit on their hardware, if you compare what the equivalent sales price is of competitive offerings (at least when they were...

[CommunityMember]

While Linux is certainly going to be front and center to those participating on sites such as Phoronix, the BSDs do have a strong presence in the server...

[CommunityMember]

The picture is of the mini-me Linus clone....

[CommunityMember]

I would conjecture that it is more about having an itch, and scratching it (as much FOSS contribution is all about). PGO (and the resulting improvements)...

[CommunityMember]

And any specific (and especially first) generation design results have not always predicted the future. However, I do look forward to the healthy ARM...

[CommunityMember]

The i3 spin happened mostly because there were some individuals motivated to create an i3 SIG and do the work required to create a Fedora spin. At least...

[CommunityMember]

The concept of modules has some appeal. But in practice for a leading edge distro such as Fedora (where you expect to get and be running the latest/greatest...

[CommunityMember]

They had to announce something at (virtual) CES. And those that need and can afford the top tier gpus will likely continue to wait in the queue to get...

[CommunityMember]

It is somewhat more subtle. RHEL has a major version (8 is the current major version), with regular releases (8.1, 8.2, etc.) which dropped all together...

[CommunityMember]

Exactly. Do not look the gift horse in the mouth too closely.

And in any case, this is a 2 line fix that, based on the reviewer, likely...

[CommunityMember]

There are, of course. many ARM designs with a large number of cores. However, they have not been targeted towards the desktop/laptop market, and that...

[CommunityMember]

In some enterprises, not having the ability (even if ultimately not used) to lock down a workstation/kiosk to a fixed number of approved/signed applications...

[CommunityMember]

No, because wayland itself has no formal standing. X.org, on the other hand, is a legal foundation and therefore a process to be able to make such p...
