What's the story with fsync2 when is it going to be released?

[shmerl]

Nvidia refuses to upstream their driver. Kernel updates bite them in the ass. Nvidia - you'd need to wait. Linux users - no thanks, we'll switch to AMD....

[shmerl]

I don't mind the fork. Kwin development itself always felt too slow to me....

[shmerl]

Yeah, subsurface clipping is still broken in kwin, despite that bug being closed....

[shmerl]

I'm going to try it once 5.20 comes to Debian or Norbert's repos. It should be packaged for Debian too, to optionally replace stock kwin.

Who came up with names like znver2, znver3 instead of using zen2, zen3 etc.?

[shmerl]

That's the reality. Their primary API is Vulkan. So adding DirectX support? That's no small feat. All that wasted time should have been used for releasing...

[shmerl]

Instead of bothering with DirectX, they should have released it for Linux proper. It would have been a smaller effort....

[shmerl]

I thought Baldur's Gate 3 is using Vulkan, why does dxvk need fixes for it?

[shmerl]

So much for empty promises. Don't hold your breath, Nvidia didn't get any better.

[shmerl]

Keeping things as is for the time being is an argument I get. Moving to C++ instead of moving to Rust when they are already considering moving? That I...

Vallium sounded like a medication name. Lavapipe is cooler

That's good, but that didn't happen yet. And if there is way to avoid depending on Qt which is a massive dependency in general, then why not....

[shmerl]

I know, but today we do have modern C++. So I'd avoid using Qt when they intersect. As above, in my opinion Qt is fine for a GUI toolkit, but not when...

[shmerl]

I think it branched out in too many places. And when it's trying to reinvent the wheel from libstdc++ - that's not good. And I'm not convinced that it's...

[shmerl]

I don't think KWin as a compositor has to rely on Qt. It's just wrong design, so I totally support Roman's goal here. Qt should be limited to UI use cases,...

[shmerl]

Nice. I hope it will also add Vulkan rendering, adaptive sync and kmail / subsurface clipping issues fixes.

[shmerl]

Nice development! Looking forward to Rust catching up also to amdgpu, radeonsi, radv and Co.

[shmerl]

Oh, I missed this detail:



That would explain it. Either way, it's a good development....
