Article says OpenGL 3.1 but it's actually supported OpenGL 3.3 since November. That's a big difference as 3.2 is baseline for a lot of apps that use OpenGL.

- Tomte 3y agoI think 3.1 is certified, and 3.3 is working, but without paperwork.
- zamadatix 3y agoThe certification is only OpenGL ES 3.1, a completely separate thing. In either case, both pieces of information are newer than the blog post they sourced which only notes OpenGL ES 3.0. I think the root is there wasn't a full blog post about either of these events so they just saw that and assumed it was the latest update. This article gets the GPU info and sources for it spot on: https://news.itsfoss.com/fedora-asahi-remix-39-release/#:~:text=up%20the%20system.-,OpenGL%20Implementation,also%20indicate%20future%20introduction%20of%20OpenGL%204.x%20and%20Vulkan%20support.,-Fully%20Integrated%20DSP https://news.itsfoss.com/fedora-asahi-remix-39-release/#:~:t...
- lproven 3y agoI wrote it, but no, I did note the date and I didn't assume it. It would be really good if projects actually documented what they do better, but as a former tech-docs writer for 2 software & 1 hardware company, I know very well that there's never the money and it's usually an afterthought.

- zamadatix 3y agoglxinfo will always give an authoritative answer if you need! If you didn't assume it was the latest can I ask what the newer source was so I can get it updated? An outdated Wiki page perhaps?
