What's the story with screen recording currently with Wayland? Is there now a standard way to do it?

[shmerl]

Doesn't look like it was pushed to unstable yet, but it was pushed to the source repo.

So...

I wish Debian maintainers would build qemu with virgl enabled already. That feature request has been open for two years and a half now with no progress...

That doesn't make GTK less of a mess overall....

That's an interesting overview of various issues, thanks! I'll give a try to suggested profiling method, to see what actually eats the startup time for...

Yes, DisplayPort / Sapphire Pulse AMD Vega 56....

Log in time was a huge pain so far. I didn't test 5.13 yet, waiting for Debian testing to get it. But I'm also in the process of switching to NVMe to...

[shmerl]

To many things. Awfully long log in time, freezes and stutters in the UI, hanging krunner and many more. Lot's of that stuff could be avoided by replacing...

[shmerl]

That's not very promising....

Nice, but I feel like they could have joined efforts with Plasma Mobile to avoid GTK mess. Oh, well.

[shmerl]

Kind of a shame this junk is creeping all around the stack.

Talking about Vulkan backend, did KWin's Vulkan based compositing effort stall, or it's still being developed?

[shmerl]

Never heard of flashbench, interesting tool.

What I understood from various scattered info, it's because TLC NAND uses 3 bits per cell (that's T in Triple Level Cell). So erase block size for such...

I noticed that using 3 MiB partitions alignment instead of common 1 MiB produces better results with Evo 970. See here.

I was testing random...

[shmerl]

Yeah, I tested Wayland session with 5.12 recently and it was segfaulting early. What's the story with it? Is it a Mesa or KDE bug?

[shmerl]

Waiting for Debian testing to catch up: https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/plasma-desktop

So far it reports: "Problems while searching for...

You have to be using an SSD though which I suspect Plasma developers are using and not testing HDD use case which is way slower in many critical paths....

[shmerl]

Big one for me is libinput KCM module for mouse. It should be finally configurable on Wayland.

In a couple generations of cards, TW3 will run at 60+ fps at 4K too. For now 4K is just too much for Wine gaming IMHO....
