#GNOME On #Wayland Lands Improved Handling For Direct Scanout Support https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=GNOME-Subsurface-Scanout

For more details on #Morello, what it means for existing codebases, and plans for the future, see this excellent write-up from Microsoft Research, who have also been part of this Cambridge-based partnership. https://msrc-blog.microsoft.com/2022/01/20/an_armful_of_cheris/

Congrats to Arm on the first hardware for the #Morello program - a ground-up secure capability-based architecture, featuring everyone’s favourite open-source Mesa3D GPU driver, #Panfrost! https://community.arm.com/arm-community-blogs/b/architectures-and-processors-blog/posts/software-enablement-and-the-morello-technology-demonstrator #OpenSource #Linux

Released earlier this month, kernel 5.16 is full of great features, including two that had been in development for some time by our kernel team: the new #futex syscall & the new #fanotify event! Here's a look at our contributions: https://col.la/lk516 #futex2 #embedded

Great blog post published last month by Xaver Hugl: "A considerable amount of people assume #Wayland isn’t particularly suitable for gaming, usually because you can’t turn off the compositor. This post will challenge that assumption." https://zamundaaa.github.io/wayland/2021/12/14/about-gaming-on-wayland.html #Linux #gaming
