From the MR (https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome...requests/954):...

I just want to add that a lot of communication between the devs and maintainers does not happen in gitlab but on IRC. And I can assure you that these...

[treba]

That. And I'd expect quite a few more things to land during the beta phase - we are just entering UI freeze, but API freeze is a bit later and even after...

[treba]

Well, some of the benchmarks here are very synthetic. Spidermonkey is much more optimized for real work websites (i.e. lots of "cold" unused...

[treba]

It is, that's the point. It's actually pretty much the same what chromium (not chrome, as we're talking about out of tree patches) does. The big step...

For interested parties, here are some current developments in Firefox to be exited about:
- experimental DMABUF support for WebGL (should bring...

> almost performance support.

We love performance

[treba]

The Wayland support is completely shared with Firefox and well on the way, fedora even offers a Wayland enabled launcher (when installing the thunderbird-wayland...

[treba]

Urgh, I hope this will not impact security on Linux too hard. Does the license allow e.g. the kde project to distribute their own LTS version with backported...

[treba]

Well that's not super difficult. The compositor knows the surface damage and would only use scanout if the whole (or most of) the surface needs to get...

Hm ok, then two more questions:

1. Isn't it that "Disable hardware overlays" does increase GPU usage on many devices on Android, showing the

AFAIK there are a couple of different kinds of hardware planes, including:

1. primary plane: the 'normal' content
2. scanout plane: for fullscreen scanout,

This is news to me. The Gnome and Weston devs are definitely working in that direction nevertheless.


Partial updates are also supported...

[treba]

This is simply wrong. It's wrong already (look at benchmarks) and will be even more so in the future. With Wayland the compositor can make use of hardware...

[treba]

Well, I guess more than 95% of their users are on platforms where CSD is the norm nowadays (windows, mac, gnome), while the platforms benefiting from...

[treba]

Right, otherwise it would not work on Gnome Wayland session. What I meant was that they don't make use of the possibilities it offers but instead aligne...

I wished Libreoffice would pick up a few of WPS office's features, mainly tabbed documents and using client side decorations to place them. Their ribbon...

[treba]

If you're currently using Windows with MS Office then that's probably not *the* major blocker argument
wps office and only office are available...

[treba]

You might want to give wps Office, only office or free office a try. Libreoffice is not the only one out there (although my personal preference, even...

Errr - who else's then? The OS community can't create a proper drivers for NVIDIA GPUs, that has been made impossible by them. So as the only provider...
