It's likely the other way around. OSs that don't provide similar features like Linux with systemd (and therefore MacOS and WIn, which both have powerful...

[treba]

Well, maybe have a look through the commit log or the release news. Then look who employs the devs doing the bulk of the work. Canonical certainly belongs...

[treba]

His name on IRC is duflu. And as he's from Australia (IIRC), he is tends to be online at different times then most other devs. Then again, Gnome devs...

Gnome design team, for flathub and the like. Apparently there are many scenarios where window screenshots look better with shadows, and removing them...

[treba]

Awesome, so now the most important drivers, iris, anv, radeon and radv all share ever more of their code. How is the status for nouveau? Do they plan...

[treba]

It would have been a shame. Gnome Shell just got better support for password less polkit dialogs (https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_re...

[treba]

With this getting so fast and small we can maybe have Wake-on-Voice as a standard future soon

[treba]

Rolling out Webrender on all platforms is *the* big performance optimization in the baking
This is good news for Linux users as the Webrender...

[treba]

While the setup is totally valid as it reflects current default settings, it should be noted that a lot of engineering power goes into Webrender and Wayland...

[treba]

Well not exactly. The compositor needs to support some screen sharing standard (Gnome and KDE now both support the XDG-portal, don't know about sway)...

[treba]

That one got fixed recently
If your distro doesn't have it by now it will come with 3.34.2

Edit: see https://gitlab.gnome.org/G...

Ah so people are leaving MacOS even faster. And people migrate from Windows 10 to Windows 7....

[treba]

Nice improvements, as usual, especially when using it with Wayland+Webrender. That combination is really getting into shape and I hope they switch on...

[treba]

Interesting that Firefox runs so much better on Fedora than on Ubuntu. What could be the reasons? LTO and PGO? Wayland (Fedora 31 uses a Wayland session...

[treba]

This is a nice step to bring XWayland apps closer to the Wayland "every frame is perfect" paradigm. It needs some help from the compositors,...

[treba]

There are out of tree patches for chromium to enable video decoding acceleration and firefox might get there, too (at least on Wayland, look for the DMABUF...

[treba]

If upstreamed, this should help the whole linux ecosystem. Great to see!...

[treba]

I hope we will now see even more improvements which benefit both big drivers, iris and radeon. This looks like a great example of mutual benefit.

[treba]

The corresponding work on Weston and Mutter will hopefully also address race conditions in the resize / initial mapping code, currently resulting in occasional...

[treba]

AFAIK clang can't build the linux kernel and there are many more reasons why people use GCC instead of clang. So having a static analysis is a great feature...
