<p>imagine shipping a major version upgrade so good that someone has to fix their setup _and yet chooses to give you money anyway_</p><p>every vendor should aspire to this</p>

<p>i gave KDE e.V. a hundred euro per year</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@tef" class="u-url mention">@<span>tef</span></a></span> this aligns with my strategy</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@whitequark" class="u-url mention">@<span>whitequark</span></a></span> it&#39;s worth noting that kde used qt/c++ despite being non-free originally, because they felt it would make a better environment</p>

<p>i&#39;m going to give KDE some money. how come they make software that&#39;s actually good and doesn&#39;t make me regret upgrading. incomprehensible behavior</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@whitequark" class="u-url mention">@<span>whitequark</span></a></span> Looks like a dmb st, isb, and disabling both caches at the end of the bootloader before entry to the application fixes it.</p><p>The barriers were important, presumably there was some uncommitted store that would get lost if I just turned the cache off.</p><p>Will test more but I think it&#39;s good now.</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://infosec.exchange/@alwayscurious" class="u-url mention">@<span>alwayscurious</span></a></span> also i used to rely on render offload to the nvidia gpu in this laptop, but the gpu seems to have died (like, physically. it falls off the bus if i start the driver) so i guess that&#39;s less relevant now</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://infosec.exchange/@alwayscurious" class="u-url mention">@<span>alwayscurious</span></a></span> enough people report enough things to be weirdly broken under wayland that i don&#39;t wanna switch</p><p>until a few years back wine applications were completely fucked (except for some full screen games) for example. i am not happy about that</p>
