Let's hope so. It's always more demanding to do things right than to do things the half-assed way. Question only is, where the main part of the works...

[Artim]

It's Linux, yes. But it's not GNU/Linux....

[Artim]

Which is still far from the truth. Right now, as long as you don't run on an Nvidia GPU there isn't really a reason not to default to Wayland and there...

[Artim]

They did both, as I doubt any GNU/Linux Distribution supports Surface Flinger, not to mention BSD distributions. And as far as I can tell, there aren't...

[Artim]

Thank god GTK5 probably will be Waylad only and Fedora is already moving towards a Wayland only future. Sooner or later nobody will care anymore about...

[Artim]

I'd be interested what that means for software vs hardware decoding. Would this make the implementation of hardware accelerated video playback? Also,...

[Artim]

Weil, it's the implementation in GNOME. But of course other DEs should be able to implement something similar....

[Artim]

You make absolutely no sense......

[Artim]

Rovano so basically especially the older Nvidia GPUs are still an unholy mess, got it.

And that Hardware Accelerators won't work for you...

[Artim]

Even worse. But the question is, how well will Vulkan and VA-API support Nvidia GPUs? I never really worked with Nvidia Hardware. My last information...

[Artim]

All those things have absolutely nothing to do with each other. Vulkan is only used for graphics, nothing else. WebGPU is a whole other story for a OS...

[Artim]

It is. But only a very much slimmed down version.

But if you're hinting on browsers that should just use the Vulkan Video extensions for...

[Artim]

Yes and no. They usually only use the libraries that are part of ffmpeg. Someone here wrote Firefox only uses a slimmed down version for h264, no idea...

[Artim]

Just as you are. Otherwise you wouldn't have to drop some ominous hints void of any content but just plain out say why VTE is not affected by probably...

[Artim]

I'd argue that once GPU vendors add support for Vulkan video extensions to their Windows and Android drivers, that API would be a very huge deal. One...

[Artim]

Like I said, no lag whatsoever. And I'm far from running any capable hardware. So if you experience lag, you might want to check in with the distributor,...

[Artim]

I don't think any distribution defaults to it. For all I can tell even Fedora still defaults to Terminal. And that's ok. I do use Console because I like...

[Artim]

Thanks for confirming you don't live in this reality. Mir has been discontinued years ago. That thing now being called Mir is just Wayland for IoT devices....

[Artim]

VT100...

[Artim]

That's probably your problem. Some very early software. I don't see any slowness or even lag on Console 45.0 as part of Debian Testing....
