Yes, there’s an addon for Firefox that gives you Netflix 1080p without any downsides, probably just by changing the user agent for Netflix.
Really shows how utterly useless the restrictions are.

Writing graphics code in a unified model is quite a bit different from the conventional x86 model.
It isn’t. The difference is pretty small, and it’s just optimizations for when copies can be skipped and not a radical change in the approach of how rendering is done.
Intel would need their own equivalent to Metal if they wanted to do a similar move.
Not at all. If big-ish changes were required, they could be exposed as Vulkan extensions.
I don’t know enough about Vulkan to say if it’s compatible with this kind of approach
Of course Vulkan, the graphics API used on all modern phones except Apple’s, supports using integrated graphics efficiently.
S3 is standby. Hibernate is S4
the fact that 1.8 was working tells me that it is possible for a window manager to work well for nvidia
Nope, it’s a race condition for which the visible effects can appear or disappear for plenty of reasons. The only fix is explicit sync, which is being worked on for wlroots
It’s been possible for a long time, but yes, now you can do it intuitively in the shortcuts GUI
Most displays provide settings to modify the colors of your screen; mine has like 10 different “picture modes” that strongly modify gamma curves, colors and the whitepoint. The EDID only describes colors of one of them, so if you change display settings, the data no longer applies.
More generally, the information isn’t used by Windows or other popular video sources by default, so manufacturers don’t have much of an incentive to put correct information in there. If it doesn’t make a difference for the user, why would they care? Some displays even go so far as to intentionally report wrong physical size information, to make Windows select the default scale the manufacturer wants to have on that display (or at least that’s what I think is the case with my cheap AliExpress portable monitor)…
That’s not to say that the information is actually often completely wrong or unusable, but if one in tenthousand displays gets really messed up colors because we toggle this setting on by default, it’s not worth it. We might add some heuristics for detecting at least usable color information and change this decision at some point though
Only thing not working for me is HDR (should be fixed in Plasma 6.1)
What’s supposed to not work, and what am I supposed to have fixed in 6.1? There haven’t been any major changes to HDR since 6.0
it falls to each and every individual app to (re)implement everything: accessibility, clipboard, keyboard, mouse, compositing etc. etc.
I haven’t read so much nonsense packed in a single sentence in a while. No, apps don’t implement any of these things themselves. How the fuck would apps simultaneously “implement compositing themselves” and also neither have access to the “framebuffer” (which isn’t even the case on Xorg!) nor information about other windows on the screen?
Please, don’t rant about things you clearly don’t know anything about.
Fedora. Though I just tested it again and the input method icon is now hidden by default, and does not automatically show up when appropriate :|
You can make it always be shown in the system tray configuration, but this should really work out of the box…
I am talking about the desktop. Mobile doesn’t have a system tray.
When you have a Xwayland app focused, the Plasma panel will have an upward facing arrow in the system tray. If you tap it, the virtual keyboard will pop up
And you cannot invoke it by yourself to type in XWayland applications
Yes you can
No
You’ll need to specify what DE you’re using. This comes built in with KDE Plasma: Meta+left and then quickly also up for top left corner, Meta+right and then quickly also down for bottom right corner etc.
I don’t knowt what exact shortcuts other DEs use, but I think most that aren’t Gnome support quarter tiling too
Debian still ships version 5
Debian ships 5.27.5 - it’s not just not updating often, but it’s not shipping bugfix releases (latest 5.27 version is 5.27.11!). I recommend to avoid it and maybe look at KUbuntu LTS instead
I was especially surprised to find that Gnome would turn the screen around correctly by itself. With KDE Plasma I had to set the correct screen orientation myself. And unfortunately Plasma also did not come with any on screen keyboard so it was effectively unusable.
You just need to use a distro that follows our upstream defaults - namely Wayland, and having the virtual keyboard Maliit installed by default - then everything will work out of the box with KDE Plasma too.
That’s not how the cube works…
That’s about running on 32 bit hardware, not about running 32 bit applications
It is not related to Wayland or the compositor in any way. This is a plasmashell extension.
Similar caveats do apply to KWin scripts and effects though
This myth that ARM is more efficient needs to die already. The ISA has almost no impact on efficiency, and especially no impact on gaming, where the GPU is the much more important thing.
