So, apparently #Vulkan #Flatpak apps are broken on #Linux PCs running with an #NVIDIA GPU? That seems kinda bizarre, couldn't launch #Flatseal and #Warehouse, atm.

PanVK has reached another milestone and will be supporting #Vulkan 1.4 on V10 and later GPUs! https://www.collabora.com/news-and-blog/news-and-events/panvk-now-supports-vulkan-1.4.html

Neuer Vulkanausbruch in Südwest-#Island

Die 700m lange Spalte liegt dieses mal weiter nördlich als bei den letzten Ausbrüchen, in Sundhnúksgíga, der Ort Grindavík ist nicht gefährdet. Dennoch wurde ein Campingplatz und das Schwimmbad der Blauen Lagune evakuiert.

#Blender 4.5 LTS Open-Source 3D Graphics App Released with Stable #Vulkan Backend, #Wayland Improvements, and Many Other Changes https://9to5linux.com/blender-4-5-lts-open-source-3d-graphics-app-makes-the-vulkan-backend-stable

@Blender #Linux #OpenSource #FreeSoftware

""The latest alpha of the upcoming #Blender 5.0 release comes with High Dynamic Range (HDR) support for #Linux on #Wayland […]

It’s been a lot of personal blood, sweat and tears, paid for by #RedHat across the Linux graphics stack for the last few years to enable applications like Blender to add #HDR support. From #kernel work, like helping to get the HDR mode working on Intel laptops, and improving the Colorspace and HDR_OUTPUT_METADATA KMS properties, to creating a new library for EDID and DisplayID parsing, and helping with wiring things up in #vulkan.

I designed the active color management paradigm for Wayland compositors, figured out how to properly support HDR, created two wayland protocols to let clients and compositors communicate the necessary information for active color management, and created documentation around all things color in FOSS graphics. This would have also been impossible without @pq from Collabora and all the other people I can’t possibly list exhaustively. […] ""
