Interesting,
That might explain why the vulkan cache feature has been broken for the last 3weeks... Something is in the works
It's a bit annoying having to play with cache disabled at the moment as it takes a good few minutes for the interface and game to smooth out, but this is all completed before stuff really happens

Good good,
The WebKit was a PITA to build.
There is probably a new openRazor release soon as there are a number of fixes as well as a number of devices are queued for merging (including my nice keyboard \o/ )

I look forward to all the improvements KDE Plasma will get with the Steam Deck

The desktop mode is probably the biggest thing to help Linux adoption.
The Desk booting straight into whatever will replace BigPicture makes it a easy to use portable gaming system and the fact it uses linux under the hood should be transparent to the end user (like Android is build on linux).
Why would a user consider playing with linux? until, at their leisure (ie not forced on them, which is key) they flick to a desktop which behaves like a linux machine and before you know it people will consider installing linux because its not that different - sure filesystem layout, package management ...
The tech savvy lot or the inquisitive lot could easily actively switch while those that are just consumers will still just follow whatever was setup for them.

Open source Linux GPU drivers Mesa 21.2 released
5 August 2021 at 4:23 pm UTC
Thats what I thought... I won't go near GNOME/KDE. You can launch sway/wayfire with 470 but it is slightly laggy and equally Xwayland is laggy... the missing part was obviously Nvidia accepting GBM so this mesa release closes it but yes... a new nvidia driver is needed. hopefully something soon to replace 470.57.02, maybe nvidia was waiting for mesa

Quoting: kon14Quoting: NaibIs the missing piece for Wayland and Nvidia ?
We have the driver (470). We have Xwayland (21.1.2). But there was still something missing
You can use Gnome and KDE on Wayland with Nvidia ever since 470, but you're doing so using the suboptibal EGL Streams backends while also being limited to these two compositors.
Mesa merged external GBM support so that Nvidia can finally work as expected on every sincle compositor, but we're still missing a new driver release adding Nvidia-side support for this.

Great ! And yes this hints the 470 series is due
Just wish you could buy some RTX cards... There are hints it's becoming easier, especially with the low hash rate tweaks to help gamers being leached by miners
