The version.patch notation is still meaningful to Linux because each version increment means new features and support. If the latest is version 50 and you are on 48 you should be suspicious if that unsupported PCI device works on that newer

Its seriously just Linus doesn't like counting past 20. We only got 4.20 for the weed meme. 3.19 -> 4.0 and 4.20 -> 5.0 just because.

The worst part is its arbitrary. I don't get why Linus is so bent on keeping a three step version number when the first digit has been meaningless since 1996 (or maybe 2011 if you want to be pedantic and call the version change from 2.

This kind of problem specifically doesn't map to "user finds problem, puts money where mouth is on bug bounty to fix it" because actually figuring out your Blink based browser isn't hardware accelerated is at least a non

Ubuntu doesn't have a .desktop entry for Chrome. It comes with the deb. Desktop files are installed by the programs that use them, hence why I said you need to catch the Chrome install and modify the desktop file.

You need a VAAPI build of Chromium, it isn't on by default. Arch has a PKGBUILD in the repo: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/chromium-vaapi/ and I think there are builds for most popular distros out there

You can get native GPU buffers via enabling zero copy rasterizer in flags and passing --enable-native-gpu-memory-buffers via chromium-flags or as an argument. They work on ChromeOS the same way they do on desktop Linux and I've been us

I've personally actively avoided buying anything with Nvidia hardware in it for 8 years now because of how awful their software business is. That has meant I've even skipped over tablets and phones using their chips and will never

As someone who has used IE (especially 5-9) far too many times because I had to, Chrome could impale my palms with stakes and I'd still probably call it more user friendly.

In the last 6 years I've used a 7870, 290, and 580 as my desktops GPU. All have been stellar cards that have only gotten better over time. Back when I got that 7870 circa 2012 I was taking a major risk - at the time the 6870 was the pr

The problem is that the Nouveau (and Ubuntu) devs have no way to overturn Googles decision in Chrome . Ubuntu can compile Chromium with a modified blacklist but Google distributes Chrome in a deb. You would need some special logic to catch

It really reeks of the same kind of anticompetitive behavior that got MS in trouble twenty years ago. Apple is way worse in this regard, but Google is still incentivized to keep at least PWAs from being first class citizens on Android becau
