The graphene community in the past has pointed out Firefox’s incomplete content sandboxing implementation and suggested that other aspects of security are not up to chromiums standard. They pointed out other technical shortcomings as well, though I can’t recall them, I’m not sure how urgent they’d be.

This was several years ago, and I’m not sure if any of this has been addressed, but I wouldn’t like to rely on manifest v3 compliant ad blocking.

I get the impression that Firefox may continue to lag in this regard, and I don’t feel that people like us are made vulnerable by this, though I do worry about people like my parents.

yeah, they do that 😅

where do they find the time?!

where’s the bats angels comic 🥺

Valve do work pretty closely on contemporary hardware, but to your point, the kernel driver is decently robust, the display abstraction layer is largely common with the windows side (and also resides in the KMD on both environments), the mesa GL driver is solid and Marek’s team are also beginning to contribute towards RADV.

AMD are also heavily involved with improving Linux desktop experience (particularly with Wayland), and host regular hackathons to that effort.

One of the comments on the phoronix post mention display stream compression (DSC) and fixed rate link (FRL - specific to HDMI 2.1), both assist with high bandwidth throughput.

No but I do get about three or four challenges. I can paste the article for you if it helps?

This is probably the most succinct and most effective campaign that could be made for them. Hats off to you

probably, though I’ve not had that in a good while

just start a conspiracy theory

something along the lines of ‘the voting machines will turn their flat earth round’ 🤷

at this rate, couldn’t they just sunset their client and contribute towards heroic?

in-place upgrades are fine for just about any contemporary, mainstream Linux distro. You may find this experience to be more robust than on windows.

I believe you can also upgrade via separate installation media, but you won’t find yourself needing to.

totally fine in my experience, and I ‘dumb guy’ my way through the whole thing.

my primary workstation system started with Fedora 28 > 43 - persisting through many hardware swaps and all sorts - though that’s with the gnome desktop.

I’d imagine you could conduct full system upgrades via Discover on KDE too.

excellent find! hope it serves you well

nvidia have been promoting ‘big format gaming displays’ since I want to say about 2019. Some of them reach the dimensions you specify, I just hope these are VESA adaptive sync/FreeSync capable and not all GSync Ultimate module displays (they can be made to work in VESA mode but not without issues in my experience).

I think I’ve seen one or two obscure TV models offering DisplayPort over USB type C, it may have been from Hisense

No prob, really sorry about the situation though, I know it sucks. I’ve been looking into replacing my TVs with large PC displays with DisplayPort.

I’m not sure if you can somehow work around the HDMI forum limitation with an active converter, but I think they’re intended to be used at the adapter side (convert HDMI output to DP).

You don’t need proprietary drivers nor should you have to disable MST.

If you’re using HDMI 2.1, you won’t be able to use VRR on a Linux system as the HDMI forum have blocked the AMDGPU implementation for the feature - they don’t allow FOSS implementations of HDMI 2.1 VRR

Thanks for these, I’ll discuss with the DAL team when I get the chance

Oh sorry, I misunderstood, so you actually get locked into a low mclk under specific display configurations? I’ve genuinely never heard of or personally experienced that across a breadth of hw and sw configs.

I’m wondering if it could be worth probing the power play sysfs interface or hwmon the next time this happens to try and understand what’s happening there.

Do you use client apps to interact with tuning settings like LACT? Can you link me to an existing bug report so I can follow up with engineering?
