Yes. The TL;DR version is:

Ubuntu releases will have a reasonably fresh Mesa when shipped. If you're on the LTS releases of Ubuntu (20.04,...

Is there really demand for multi-gigabit in homes? Seems like people wanted 1gbit for about... twenty years, and now some stuff is moving up to 2.5. I...

Those encryption results are huge. I can't really use a Raspberry Pi as a broadband VPN endpoint, or a secure web/file server, or even use encrypted volumes...

[mangeek]

I don't think there's a huge market for THAT, but a $200-ish Raspberry Pi 5 Premium with 16-32GB RAM, Thunderbolt/USB-C for power and connectivity, and...

[mangeek]

You know what? It is! I don't understand why so many people felt strongly that we shouldn't do this stuff; it's pretty and fast.

I will say...

I think all you've had to set for at least a few months has been this, on Ubuntu 20.04+. No command line options needed anymore.

[mangeek]

I really hope the Raspberry Pi folks are paying attention, because this is likely going to prove that there's big demand for a premium line of their product,...

I believe most Ubuntu Chromium users won't see the benefits of this until the snaps are built against core bases that have newer packages between Wayland...

The app's toolkit wasn't the problem here, I'm pretty sure Mutter was telling virt-viewer that my 3000x2000 screen was 1714x1142 (screen is scaled 175%)....

[mangeek]

I'm so happy. I think it was the fractional scaling changes in Wayland and Mutter, but now my VMs in virt-viewer are 1:1 scaling on my fractionally-scaled...

[mangeek]

The kernels from interim Ubuntu releases are backported to LTS through the HWE Kernel Enablement, but the support for LTS+HWE isn't evergreen like the...

[mangeek]

They're on a rather fast release cycle, so I wouldn't expect much amazing stuff from each release. 42 also wasn't terribly feature-packed, but I've used...

[mangeek]

I'm guessing these changes will break chroot for a bunch of those use cases, if they're not already broken. Still, that buys you about. four years from...

[mangeek]

I work somewhere with some very old systems running, and we definitely aren't compiling newer kernels. I would imagine the kinds of orgs with technical...

[mangeek]

I REALLY hope this stuff makes it in before Ubuntu 23.04 is totally frozen. It would be good to have this in play for the next few months.

[mangeek]

I'm confused. I though HWCAPS was a way to put multiple optimization levels into one binary, while building separate packages was sort of a recently-outdated...

[mangeek]

I'm really excited for this. I use fractional scaling today, but the screen size reported to my QEMU VMs is all wonky because the compositor tells QEMU...
