Are they going to support Iris for Haswell?

Oh, I didn't realize KDE frameworks are so outdated in Debian:

As well as Qt:...

Don't forget that radv itself was based on anv design to begin with, so it's only a good thing there is cross collaboration....

Debian testing/unstable got Plasma 5.17.5 with great difficulty. Now I wonder when 5.18.x will arrive.

Why do we need arm64? You can easily use x86_64 for console style gaming. What's lacking is a good FOSS UX, that's controller oriented....

[shmerl]

May be this can work as a gaming console variant too.

Apparently MS have money they don't know what to spend on. Let them start supporting Vulkan instead of DX12. That would be a proper investment.

Debian testing is lagging behind kernel releases for some reason. It's not even on 5.5.x yet. I build latest kernels explicitly because of that.

[shmerl]

That's interesting. Distros should probably switch then....

Time for Audacity to also move to Qt.

[shmerl]

So how are they going to use coreboot with them? Isn't closed AGESA an issue? It would be great of course if that's possible.

Progress of adaptive sync on Wayland is very slow. Looks like there is still no agreement on how to implement it.

[shmerl]

That's not really proving anything either. It could be related, sure, but at most it's a conjecture. I'd like to see something official about it....

[shmerl]

Is there any other source for this claim? I tried searching, but didn't find anyone talking about it PS 5 allowing to use Vulkan. If it's a true, it's...

[shmerl]

Phil Spencer surely doesn't. He is the classic lock-in exec from the '90s....

[shmerl]

MS should stop producing this garbage, and start using Vulkan. Let DX12 already get its ultimate demise.

[shmerl]

If you want to use Wayland, better to ditch Nvidia for good....

[shmerl]

We need VAAPI for WebRTC now.

[shmerl]

How does it compare to rav1e?

[shmerl]

Time for DE compositors to start using Vulkan instead of OpenGL.
