android as desktop works pretty decently actually, it can be quite nice when you set it up, especially for lower end hardware, and ofc, if you need more flexibility, you can run linux in a chroot and use x11 to bring the screen to the android env. or go vice versa and use waydroid in linux and your desktop, then simply swap out when you dont need it. (though waydroid can be harder on low end hardware)
before anyone gets too excited, this doesn't seem like it applies to DG2 gaming cards, ATSM and PVC are compute cards
+SR-IOV Capability
+=================
+
+Due to SR-IOV complexity and required co-operation between hardware, firmware
+and kernel drivers, not all Xe architecture platforms might have SR-IOV enabled
+or fully functional.
+
+To control at the driver level which platform will provide support for SR-IOV,
+as we can't just rely on the PCI configuration data exposed by the hardware,
+we will introduce "has_sriov" flag to the struct xe_device_desc that describes
+a device capabilities that driver checks during the probe.
+
+Initially this flag will be set to disabled even on platforms that we plan to
+support. We will enable this flag only once we finish merging all required
+changes to the driver and related validated firmwares are also made available.
+
+
+SR-IOV Platforms
+================
+
+Initially we plan to add SR-IOV functionality to the following SDV platforms
+already supported by the Xe driver:
+
+ - TGL (up to 7 VFs)
+ - ADL (up to 7 VFs)
+ - MTL (up to 7 VFs)
+ - ATSM (up to 31 VFs)
+ - PVC (up to 63 VFs)
+
+Newer platforms will be supported later, but we hope that enabling will be
+much faster, as majority of the driver changes are either platform agnostic
+or are similar between earlier platforms (hence we start with SDVs).
I myself am currently using a Chuwi Hi10X. I don't have too many major complaints about it other than its quite underpowered. It does perform decently well until you need something graphics related then just kinda sucks. However I can use Firefox with it without any major gripes aisde from video playback, then I need to use chromium.
The desktop environment you use can actually play a massive part in its usability. I have found that GNOME is pretty much useless. KDE isn't bad but it's still heavy. I have been testing Cosmic DE and it has been pretty good. Definitely the best performing of the bunch so when that releases I'll probably be using that full time.
Intel A350, can't say I have many complaints now. a lot of the issues have been ironed out. I'm not sure if the sparse work has landed for i915 yet, but once it does I don't think I will have too many super major issues left. Im getting some artifacts when using gamescope, but that's not a major issue for me since I don't really need gamescope
just because its in mainline, doesnt mean distros build them though we are now seeing more and more distros use them, binder/fs being enabled is not a given
considering that apple and adope are supporting it in full force now, with DNG even supporting it to compress certain types of data, I have no doubt that Chrome will eventually be forced to re-implement it
webp is only marginally better then jpeg in lossy mode, arguably not better due to lack of features, and in lossy mode has many restrictions that make it hard to actually call it lossless in many cases.
i think thats all the more reason to get more and more people to try it in hopes that it will get the sponsorship it needs. IMO it really does have potential to be one of, if not the best video editor
while typically I would agree, safetynet actually does do a lot to provide a safe execution environment. Yes, it can be used for vendor lock-in BS and drm, however it does also get used to protect privileged apps like banking apps, secure email etc
