   After being dragged kicking and screaming by nvidia, Wayland trannies have finally added a critical part of the explicit sync.
   
   I've been reading their git issues pretty regularly, the nvidia dev (Erik Kurzinger) has been fighting for years. Some of the older issues contain some insane quotes by Red Hat developers. Management basically told them to stop being obstructive pieces of shit before they finally started getting to work. Ever since then it's been like full time.

     @crunklord420 Could've been worse if there was no Valve around to tardwrangle them prior.

     Linux trannies like to complain about nvidia but in reality their drivers are actually good (unlike AMDs) and they absolute dominate the entire field in every metric. They have a 10x developer balls deep in every FOSS git trying to make this shit work. They have a FOSS kernel module. Despite all that cargo cultists like to pretend like AMD = good, NVIDIA = bad.
     
     I'm literally listening to geohotz capitulate his non-NVIDIA ML-box product because AMD drivers are just constantly crashing on him. He says it's unworkable. Even after he talked with Lisa Su.

     Fun fact: if you make a Linux VM and pass through AMD GPU to it, then shut it down and try starting it again, it would fail to launch, sometimes crashing the host as well. This is the case at least on RDNA1, and is unrelated to the existing reset bug requiring vendor-reset module; the reason is that amdgpu kernel module doesn't bother to shut down the PCI device properly.

     @crunklord420 Either way, the current state of affairs is infinitely better than it was during fglrx days.

     @allison from my understanding Intel is actually way more FOSS than anyone else. AMDs drivers aren't actually FOSS, it's just the kernel module, which is really like light abstraction layer. Intel goes way deeper, and Intel in general treats Linux as a first-class operating system across all their hardware drivers.
     
     I recently setup an Intel N100 and I got the Quick Sync hardware transcoders working for Jellyfin once I got the SDK installed. No issue.
     
     The issue is that their Arc drivers lack refined graphics API support. They initially started by trying to translate old DirectX into new DirectX but now they're going back to write old DirectX implementations into their driver.

     @crunklord420 How would you rate the competence of Intel driver developers in comparison?

     @allison Tom Petersen regularly talks to media (because he's great at it). He gives a lot of technical detail: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qp3BGu3vixk

     And also OpenGL/Vulkan/whatever libraries in Mesa.

     462 megabytes out of 1.8 gigs that the latest linux kernel tree weights. Light my ass.
