How well goes the whole Pipewire effort for screen capturing? When will something like ffmpeg and OBS work with Wayland sessions?

[shmerl]

Why did the minor version jump to .2, but the subversion remained as 132 (as it was in 1.1.132)? Shouldn't it be 1.2.0?

[shmerl]

It can't, multi-GPU Vulkan extensions aren't implemented yet....

[shmerl]

Nice, what about AMD?

[shmerl]

Can it work through Wine, or it's doing some very low level stuff for it?

[shmerl]

Not so clear. It references Librehardware monitor and some experimental formulas. So sounds like partially reverse engineered? Not sure where Librehardware...

How did zenpower author implement it? Is it documented anywhere?...

[shmerl]

The author said he has no interest in upstreaming, so zenpower is a dead end....

Why doesn't AMD provide all this before CPUs are even out?

[shmerl]

So the old way with VK_EXT_transform_feedback will still work, but NGG could provide an alternative way to do it, but possibly won't in the future?...

[shmerl]

Is NGG streamout affecting transform feedback, or it's not related?

Well, Debian should support it too....

[shmerl]

So can Debian provide a proper LUKS usage in the installer, so it could create lvm setup without the need for un-encrypted boot partition? Right now there...

It's not open source really. And AMD didn't respond why or whether they plan to open it: https://github.com/GPUOpen-Tools/Rad...filer/issues/1

Looks like powerplay race condition for Navi is finally fixed in 5.5-rc5.

[shmerl]

His tone in this is a far cry from his previous rude outbursts. I'd say it's actually quite productive here, even though he calls the code "garbage"...

[shmerl]

The point is, package managers could use whatever, it's possible as pixz demonstrates....

[shmerl]

Check pixz....

[shmerl]

So surely less than 1300% speedup listed above (around 434%). zstd is of course still faster, but I'd say parallel xz is already a huge benefit, when...

[shmerl]

You can use the implementation that does support it: https://github.com/vasi/pixz

Also, you can use single thread compression, if somehow...
