I’ve heard something about Apple Silicon GPUs being tile-based and not immediate mode, which means the Vulkan API is different compared to regular PCs. How has this been addressed in the Vulkan driver?

Huge fucking deal, especially for Nvidia users, but it is great for the entire ecosystem. Other OSes have had explicit sync for ages, so it is great for Linux to finally catch up in this regard.
You’re correct. While the stable version of KDE Wayland is usable right now with the new driver with no flickering issues, etc., it technically does not have the necessary patches needed for explicit sync. Nvidia has put some workarounds in the 555 driver code to prevent flickering without explicit sync, but they’re slower code paths.
The AUR has a package called kwin-explicit-sync, which is just the latest stable kwin with the explicit sync patches applied. This combined with the 555 drivers makes explicit sync work, finally solving the flickering issues in a fast performant way.
I’ve tested with both kwin and kwin-explicit-sync and the latter has dramatically improved input latency. I am basically daily driving Wayland now and it is awesome.
LOL, same. I did a docker-compose pull
and restarted, came here to look at the release notes, and almost started panicking whether I omitted some important upgrade steps. Turns out everything upgraded smoothly automatically though.
I love Nextcloud Talk, but my biggest annoyance with it is that text chats don’t properly scroll to the bottom when new messages come in.
The task manager is just another widget on the panel. Right click anywhere on the panel (except on the tray icons, those are special), and click Enter edit mode
. Then you can drag the task manager along the panel and configure it how you like.
No port forwarding though :(
I used to use Mullvad but after they disabled port forwarding I switched over to Proton.
I truly believe the answer to this question is going to be yes around the May - June timeframe when Nvidia releases their explicit sync enabled drivers. All aboard the Wayland hype train babyyyy!
BUT they can’t implement it on MacOS because Apple won’t allow it
Yeah, but Apple isn’t allowing it (at least according to the comment you replied to), so if Riot continues to allow their games to run on Mac without kernel anti-cheat, then their whole argument against Linux support is moot.
But if the Mac client doesn’t have anti-cheat, doesn’t it totally defeat their whole argument?
Yeah that explains why you’re not seeing the issue. Seems like drkonqi activates on logout and holds up the entire process.
I do not have this file at all. I think yours was a different issue.
They’re at different layers of the audio stack though so not really replacing.
It will occasionally work so you may have just gotten lucky. It seems like its a drkonqi issue, see the linked upstream bug report for the workarounds. You can either uninstall drkonqi or just mask the systemd service for now.
Do you have drkonqi installed? According to this thread, it’s an issue with drkonqi.

My biggest issue with Syncthing is that it becomes unusable for large amounts of data due to the lack of selective sync (ignore lists are cumbersome as hell) and lack of virtual file system support. I have about 8TB of data on my NAS that I want to access remotely and it is not feasible to have duplicate copies of that much data on all of my devices.
Well…have you filed bugs for your issues?
Most people have had a very smooth transition over to Pipewire. I have 4 Arch machines and Pipewire has been flawless. I am even using one machine for pro-audio usecases (REAPER, Ardour).
Oh come on, that camera bar sticks out so much. I am so tired of this design gimmick. Every Pixel phone with a case already looks ridiculously thick just so that the stupid bar is protected. With how thick it looks on the Pixel 9, the whole phone is just going to be a chonker by the time someone slaps a case on it.
All this coming at a time when my perfectly fine Pixel 5 just got EOLed is demoralizing.
Nowadays, I mostly don’t even care about compatibility issues anymore and just expect a game to work in Linux, which is just freaking cool. Obviously, some competitive MP games are off the table due to anti-cheat, but that isn’t my main gaming category nowadays so it works out.
