Something I noticed recently is that Sunshine has added support for XDG Portal Screenshare access, meaning on KDE you can actually screen share a virtual display without needing anything configured on the hardware. You need to use the xdg-portal capture method, but I’ve tried it out with my phone before
That PR seems to have been closed rather than merged though, I don’t think it has reverted the change yet
Canonical seems to be based in the UK, going off of the Wikipedia page
I don’t know for sure though, because in theory they keep the core powered down during suspend sleep so in theory there really shouldn’t be any power draw aside from the memory modules. However you’re right that there’s some noticeable difference for some reason
Anecdotally it seems to have a similar drain rate to my laptop, around 10% a day in sleep (though I would recommend actually verifying this yourself to be sure). So if you want to conserve battery life, turning it off is the way to go
Ahh right, good point
But as far as I understand, it’s designed to be a Vulkan layer. I’m pretty sure they can be installed under the user’s home directory at ~/.local and picked up by Mesa automatically
And we’re all the better for it! Needs polish and development of course, but it’s a decent alternative already
I mean, leaving aside their surveillance tasks, it’s still their job to ensure national security. It’s in their best interest to keep at least themselves and their nation safe, and considering how prevalent Linux is on servers, they likely saw a net benefit this way. They even open sourced their reverse engineering toolkit Ghidra in a similar vein
AFAIK: Development at AMD funded the dev to make it support AMD GPUs (instead of the then-supported Intel GPUs), Dev keeps a clause saying any and all work will remain open even if contract is cancelled, work is then halted by AMD and dev releases his updates on his repo, Legal then says later that the clause was not legally binding and can’t be enforced or such, making dev rollback to earlier Intel version
Just gotta invoke skynetctl
It was initially intended to be a video stream handler, but they had concerns with audio syncing. They figured they might as well also handle audio in one cohesive AV server instead
Hyprland, Wayland native Tiling WM

One usual use case is for IPMI-style server management, being able to remotely monitor and interact with the machine before even the BIOS is ready, so particularly more relevant to server deployments. For example, adjusting BIOS settings over a dedicated management LAN for several thousand rack servers
