Mine's been working well without problems, except for that one time where they declared support for newer firmware but then forgot to push the code that...

[sandy8925]

None of those streaming services will play even 720p on GNU/Linux desktops, leave alone 1080p, 4K and HDR. Youtube and a few other services like it are...

It's good that AMD is actually doing the work now. Hopefully this increases, and comes to match Intel's level of software contributions.

[sandy8925]

True, that's the only reason I bought an R9 390 a fee years ago. But now with Intel planning to sell dGPUs, I can finally say bye bye to AMD....

[sandy8925]

Nice! I don't think I have anything that benefits from this, but I really like that Redhat is sponsoring this desktop work.

[sandy8925]

So idiotic fears and concerns led to slow open source AMD support? Ugh.

Intel doesn't seem to have this problem. They released code for Gen...

[sandy8925]

Yep. I complained that AMD didn't bother adding support for reading temp sensors for some of their CPUs and that it was bad strategy since most od the...

[sandy8925]

IMO the communication between apps and compositor doesn't need to change - it is already VRR-like in the sense that apps dispatch a new frame to the compositor...

[sandy8925]

This is the kind of crazy security change that Linus would be mad about.

The "make it impossible to use" kind. Apparently these...

[sandy8925]

Well I still have this old tablet PC with an AMD C-60 APU. Soft64FP implementation is relevant for that GPU. So yeah, I'm interested ...

[sandy8925]

That second part would violate GPL and therefore be illegal....

[sandy8925]

Does this mean that the modem will just be a peripheral instead of being the main chip? Lesser vulnerabilities due to AT commands?

[sandy8925]

Based on the GPL, GrS cannot legally forbid any of their clients from redistributing the patches. That would be a violation of GPL, and hence copyright...

[sandy8925]

Oh sure, I'm not saying that they don't need to support fwupd at all. It should definitely be supported, and installed out of the box....

[sandy8925]

Well, Purism seems better - they have partly open source UEFI through Coreboot. And while they don't support fwupd, atleast everything is open source...

[sandy8925]

Agreed, poor driver quality is simply unacceptable....

[sandy8925]

Yeah. Same experience here. Really looking forward to the high performance consumer version of Intel Xe....

[sandy8925]

They actually have a suspend option in the power menu :O

The sky has fallen!

[sandy8925]

Too little too late. In business, you're expected to invest first before getting returns, not wait for returns before investing.

If they...
