I have no idea what the actual gameplay is like from watching that.. Is it top down, isometric, first person, chase what?

NVIDIA 550.78 released fixing issues for RTX 4xxx series GPUs notebooks

Quoting: STiATA few more days to go to 555 nvidia driver.Finally explicit sync. I hope Fedora will be fast on that one - they already got the gnome version having the patches.

You can always download and install the driver manually without hassle. Much like I've been doing since Doom 3 released.

And fuck the "boomer <genre>" term.

KDE Plasma 6.1 will be able to sync keyboard RGB to your chosen accent colour
8 April 2024 at 9:38 am UTC

*sighs*... it's a nice attempt but multi-rgb is *not* well suited for many RGB keyboards. It's really only good for single zoned, and has no capabilities for modes.

The music idea is also likely out as it's dependant on how the vendors expose the api for writing to rgb..

The kernel desperately needs a better API for multi-RGB. And from what I've seen it might end up following the Microsoft version of it (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/uwp/api/windows.devices.lights.lamparray?view=winrt-22621)

Keep seeing "KDE is crashy" around. KDE 6 has honestly been pretty rock solid for me since I started running Fedora 40 (just after it forked from rawhide).

Explicit Sync Wayland Protocol Merged, Wayland Protocols 1.34 released

Just to add a tidbit more info to the above:

The graphics stack in Linux was designed around openGL, which is inherently implicit sync. At the time the entire openGL spec was single threaded state machine and so the sync was implicit from that. Later came threaded openGL, but the state-machine design stayed.

So the reality is we have a ton of very slow moving legacy to deal with.

Open-source Vulkan driver for NVIDIA hardware in Mesa, NVK, is now ready for prime time

I really really do not understand the nvidia hate. It's frankly fucking ridiculous at times.

Nevertheless, hurrah for NVK and Faith. The experience when I tested it a few weeks ago was actually very good and I could run quite a few games. However I do wonder how ray tracing will shape up...

The future has arrived - KDE Plasma 6 desktop released

The biggest thing about KDE 6 for me is that nvidia outputs on a hybrid laptop are now really really smooth. I've been running KDE 6 for a month on fedora and I've only got positive things to say (so much that it got me off of gnome)
