I'll buy it when it comes, but I'm not confident the hardware project can be pulled off even if campaign succeeds. Anyway, I sincerely wish them good...

I see no point keeping good ideas out of discussion. Their interface ideas are good, no need to deny it. They are ahead of Plasma Mobile's approach. Plasma...

Some gesture based navigation (Sailfish like) would really be useful. Hint: get rid of those Android-esque home / grid buttons. Replace them with gesture...

Will all Wayland compositors support it? What about KWin?

[shmerl]

All they need to do is allow GPU companies release Vulakn drivers like they do on Windows. Apple don't do even that, and it clearly indicates crooked...

Meanwhile, it's still stuck and can't move to Debian testing because of failing armel builds. These stalls plague it quite often, and in result testing...

Thanks, that's good to know. Though naming would become somewhat misleading, given that those are going to be separate code paths....

[shmerl]

Interesting. I've never heard about this project. I wouldn't back it though - Jolla's failed tablet project demonstrated how shaky mobile hardware crowdfunding...

So what will happen to R600_TEX_ANISO variable that's now used to force anisotropic filtering for both radeonsi and r600? Will there be a separate one...

Well, it doesn't fix it. I had it with 1.0.0.6b. AMD sent me a new CPU, which doesn't have the issue.

Sounds like you don't know about cost effectiveness. Supporting an extra API doesn't come for free. So those who mandate it are taxing developers or simply...

Company which pushes lock-in instead of supporting cross platform Vulkan is clearly a jerk.


Do you write programs for GPU in machine...

What happened to Samsung's plan to release F2FS driver for Windows and push it as a replacement of proprietary exFAT junk? Without making F2FS ubiquitous,...

Vulkan can be optimized all the same. But more importantly, Metal is a lock-in tax on developers who can't reuse their work, and have to support an extra...

[shmerl]

Apple should stop being jerks, and start supporting Vulkan on their systems.

[shmerl]

Show respect to developers who actually are doing good work and a lot of heavy lifting in the kernel driver....

[shmerl]

Is it long until the final patchset will be submitted for review?...

[shmerl]

Is there any visible performance impact?

[shmerl]

Well, apparently it's not that simple: https://blog.martin-graesslin.com/bl...ion-into-kwin/...

Does XWayland work in KDE? I'll for sure need it for Wine, since they didn't even start working on Wayland support....
