XWayland probably will support NVIDIA EGLStreams next year with version Xorg 1.20: https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Xorg-Server-1.20-Features

I can understand how hard it can be to maintain a new kernel, but this kernel has so many advantages.

miwilc added a comment to T4751: linux-hardened.

Why do we need (to maintain) a new kernel if no one or an extremely small proportion of the users is going to be using it?
Solus has made exceptions for specialist software before but this is a bit much, I feel.

@ylk Maybe as a temporary solution we could do that on the 3rd-party repo, if @JoshStrobl is willing.

miwilc added a comment to T4524: Make repos go fastly.
  • Point .0 releases for major software should never make it into stable such as linux-current, mesa or a gnome stack upgrade. Putting .0 releases in unstable is okay for testing and helping upstream iron out issues, but major software should be updated to the first point release (x.x.1) before making it into stable.

@yaymalaga I would love to see secure boot in Solus but since it was designed with windows in mind there isn't a huge benefit to use it, but it would be nice to have.

miwilc added a comment to T4517: Ravenports: Universal Package System.

@kyrios123 It is closer to a alternative (FreeBSD/port) package manager, so it allows people with lower storage people to install software that is not included/can't be maintained in Solus.

If it helps @ikey Debian already has "realtek-firmware" ( https://packages.debian.org/sid/firmware-realtek ) package that provides support for Realtek wifi and bluetooth.
