zwp_linux_dmabuf_v1 will soon be used by Firefox on Wayland, to speed up WebGL and Video decoding (first YUV to RGB color space transformation, but hopefully...

[treba]

I don't think this is 3.34 material, but lets see. The good thing here is that things work quite differently from the classical X11 bypassing code, it's...

[treba]

The point here is rather: when will the BSD people offer something with similar power like systemd? The reason why the gnome people make more and more...

[treba]

While Gitlab is surely great, you can have all sorts of external CI hooked up to github as well. Talking about travis-ci etc....

[treba]

AFAIK, 3.35 has not been branched yet, so this is all still going into 3.34

Isn't V4L2 just about recording? VAAPI/VDPAU in turn is used to decode and play videos....

[treba]

I don't think mesa implemented wayland minimizing for every compositor in different ways. Actually they didn't implement it at all. It's purposely part...

[treba]

In my opinion this comment misses a "in my opinion" or "as I understand things". And to me, this doesn't sound very informed. Do you...

[treba]

Hm, only improvements on the Webrender site (although impressive!). I wonder what happened to the new baseline interpreter work. From their own benchmarks,...

GTK4 is unrelated to the shell. There are no (serious) plans for a GNOME Shell 4 right now....

[treba]

No, this requires deeper changes in the architecture. Basically, Wayland server and Shell would need to get untangled somehow, which is a huge task....

[treba]

Where does this happen? Were are people failing? Yes we do have at least three serious compositor implementations, Mutter, KWin and wlroots. Sounds like...

[treba]

Hm not sure here. Most things you mention are simply out of scope of the (core-) protocol. And what has the driver to do with minimizing? Or screen capturing?...

[treba]

Is it? I'm not aware of big implementation differences between GS and Weston, nor did I hear that KDE or WLROOTS went into total different directions....

[treba]

Well, that's mostly NVidias fault. Even in Gnome it's still too buggy to be the dafault option. If NVidia would just implement things as they are done...

[treba]

In Xwayland there's some interesting stuff happening. On one site fixes for XWayland on demand (https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/merge_req...

[treba]

XAppStatusIcon sounds interesting but also somewhat hackish. AFAIK, the AppIndicator spec has fundamental flaws which never got addressed, which is one...

[treba]

This one is particular interesting because it fixes GL pipeline stalls when the surface below the pointer got repainted..such as in games. So this one...

[treba]

Second that. Wayland and Webrender improvements should be quite noticeable....

The blog post is quite impressive. Running SuperTuxKart:



Gaming over ssh is quite a benchmark for remote protocols. Nice w...
