Pretty cool to see some acknowledgement from the Fedora crowd, but almost everything listed here is "maybe in a future release" rather than being present now.

- toyg 10y agoNot just that - some of the features are assigned to the same guy, who is probably also assigned to 50 other subsystems since he's "the laptop guy". The problem with many of these things are not that they don't work, but that they are half-assed (bluetooth, battery etc). You can improve that sort of problem only with very focused teams.
- lima 10y agoThe article talks about a laptop team and only mentions a "power management guy" who builds better benchmarking tools, so not sure where you've got that from.
- lima 10y agoThe Fedora crowd/Red Hat also happens to be where lots of (most?) Gnome development work takes place. They have been the driving force behind many recent kernel/power management and graphics stack improvements. Latest Fedora ships Wayland by default and screens with multiple DPI already work for native Wayland applications.
- nix0n 10y agoThe nVidia driver stuff worked for me about 3 years ago through rpmfusion. So in addition to working on things for the future, they're supporting the people who built the stuff that already works.
- arjie 10y agoI mean, if they were present now, people wouldn't have been asking for it, would they?
- lima 10y agoIf anything, Fedora is closest to having it working. It's not like it already works on other distros.
