Some numbers would be interesting. I know from personal experiece that swapping out the libc can lead to significant differences in memory usage. For...

No, that's ot what this patch does, or at least I assume so because I didn't check. But if it works as I'm thinking it does it will reduce latency, rather...

That's ridiculous, my composited Xorg dual monitor (2x1080p) setup reliably renders at a constant 75fps on my mid range Intel CPU with no missed frames...

Agreed, this bullshit only matters at all if you have server farms on which you let loose random script kiddies, err.. paying customers.
This stuff...

What do you mean? Doesn't it already scale up up and down window size and widget scale according to monitor DPI? It needs an env var ("QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR=1.")...

And contrary to what most, including the devs say, hwdec still gives a nice reduction in CPU usage compared to software decoding. You don't get the 3-4%...

userspace qemu is quite slow in my experience (arm64 on amd64). At least 0.1x, maybe even 0.05x or less. Of course, it makes up for it in versatility,...

...Just buy a Rockchip SBC. They use Mali GPUs if they even have one and mainline support is quite good. My RockPi S runs perfectly fine with stock musl...

Windows users had multiple superior options to choose from for years, most notably RTSS Scanline Sync[0] and probably even more so SpecialK[1]. Both of...

Sure, but different outputs use different crtcs, even when overlapping regions of the framebuffer are scanned out (each output is driven by its own crtc,...

[binarybanana]

What I don't get is why a sync flip would have to sync over ALL outputs in the first place, unless a window spanned more than one monitor, or outputs...

The host can just take a snapshot of the running system with everything unlocked (like live migration, just without the actual migration) and then it's...

Wow, that's sad.
I DON'T want hinting? I DON'T want sharp text? I DON'T still have a bunch of low/medium DPI monitors? How the fuck do they know...

[binarybanana]

Yes, it is a queue in most implementations common today, but it wasn't always. I just mentioned it to point that out. As I said, triple buffering only...

No? More like 10+% more FPS in modern games. I think Micheal did a few benchmarks which showed undeniable improvents....
