NVidia still hasn’t implemented support for adaptive sync with multiple monitors in their driver. If you can connect the second screen to the integrated GPU, that would work though

That’s because Windows has a system provided toolkit that most apps use

long press for imitating a right click, but text selection with popup copy/paste/etc buttons would also be useful.

Unfortunately that’s not something that can be done system wide, apps have to handle that themselves.

afaik not packaged for any distro

It’s packaged in every widely used distro.

Closing the window during an update is supported, you don’t have to worry about it. Discover continues running in the background, and shows a notification until the update is complete.

Writing graphics code in a unified model is quite a bit different from the conventional x86 model.

It isn’t. The difference is pretty small, and it’s just optimizations for when copies can be skipped and not a radical change in the approach of how rendering is done.

Intel would need their own equivalent to Metal if they wanted to do a similar move.

Not at all. If big-ish changes were required, they could be exposed as Vulkan extensions.

I don’t know enough about Vulkan to say if it’s compatible with this kind of approach

Of course Vulkan, the graphics API used on all modern phones except Apple’s, supports using integrated graphics efficiently.

It is closed in the sense that all the ISO specs are closed - you have to pay a decent sum of money to see the specs, and you’re not allowed to just copy them and show them to people that haven’t bought access.

They are not closed like HDMI though - if you implement them, copy constants from the specs into the Linux kernel for example, that’s fine. Having actually open standards like Wayland would be a lot better though ofc…

No. Source 2 still uses some X11 specific stuff and has to be ported over to Wayland before it can work Wayland-native

and Valve “forgot” to compile SDL3 with Wayland support

No, the problem is the opposite, that it has Wayland support enabled by default. Source 2 doesn’t support it yet though, so it crashes.

It is editable by default… Once you click on it, it turns into a normal text field
