What the flying fork, no Garuda in there?

Not even EndeavourOS in there either. I think their Arch related ones are lacking. :laughing:

While we are at it. Garuda is a direct Arch fork right?

Obviously the Timeline must be edited!

Yes, thatā€™s correct.

The Btrfs file system also received performance improvements to reduce file deletion time by 12 percent for files with many extents by reducing reservations for checksum deletions and to reduce runtime of critical functions by 5 percent by making extent state merges more efficient during insertions.

TuxClocker is an independently-developed open-source project providing a Qt-based interface for various overclocking/tuning controls for NVIDIA and AMD GPUs, Intel and AMD CPUs, etc. Itā€™s a nice option with the lack of official Linux overclocking software from the different hardware vendors.

A fork, plus so much more that makes Garuda distinctly Garuda. If this were Red Hat it would be termed ā€œBranding.ā€ :wink:

nominally the best partā€¦ the end of that link. the person who posted it for me to see didnā€™t even realize that

Alexandros Frantzis with Collabora has seen his ā€œpart 9ā€ code upstreamed for the in-progress Wine Wayland driver. This effort to allow Wine to natively interact with Wayland desktops rather than going through XWayland continues to be improved upon ahead of the Wine 9.0 code freeze beginning in December.

Iā€™ve been on linux for so long I hardly look at windows news anymore. But this caused me to wonder how long would the open-source driver support these video cards?

Probably as long as thereā€™s enough griping users that run them. You know how us people like to piss ā€˜nā€™ moan about the least little thing. :wink:

I believe AMD Vega APUā€™s were still being sold this year, so that seems like AMD is really jumping the gun with this announcement. :-1:

Yup.

Unless their ā€œretirement processā€ lasts a decadeā€¦ Yup.

A bit of troubleshooting and Waybar & config file mods for Garuda Hyprland.

Also high praise.
