  • With recent drivers and recent enough DEs it is usable to a certain extent. There are some known issues documented in the release notes of each version. Here’s for 535. TL; DR the major blockers are: (1) Variable Refresh Rate doesn’t work for some older cards; (2) GAMMA_LUT is not implemented (no night light) and (3) Nested X11 clients have synchronisation issues that might result in some flickering or dupicate frames, it’s more noticeable on things that refresh slowly, although much better recently. Also (4) NvFBC capture doesn’t work with nested X11 clients which might or might not be important for some people.

    I’m using it with Plasma; it’s OK, no major concerns but my setup is pretty basic.





  • Can’t really talk about AMD but NVIDIA are at a position to drop every other model except for the x90 without major repercussions. Hell they can even go full enterprise selling these A1000 at a ridiculous profit margin. For NVIDIA at this point the gaming GPU market is just a “good to have”. Artificial segmentation in VRAM aside the chips are just too good to service the consumer market so they might as well sell them for silly money. They don’t particularly care about selling the gaming GPUs because they aren’t losing anything not doing so


  • Apple will add support for JXL natively on the new macOS/iOS. Adobe suite added support recently. And yet Chrome decided to kill JXL before there was even a chance of gaining enough traction. This effectively kills any chance of widespread adoption of the format, which is a shame because it looks like it has a decent featureset. I really like that you can reencode the same picture with effectively no quality loss.






  • Use something that supports CalDAV and use a sync app (DAVx5 for Android, for example). This will need a computer that hosts the calendar, something globally accessible running radicale or a similar caldav/carddav server. If you can’t host it yourself email services typically also provide CalDAV access. GMail used to provide CalDAV endpoints, not sure if they still do. Fastmail provide CalDAV calendars, but it’s not free.
