• GTK default renderer

    From NoisyCoil@21:1/5 to All on Sun Feb 9 15:10:01 2025
    Hi!

    What are the upcoming plans for GTK's default renderer? I know the
    renderer was switched back to ngl [1] after Ubuntu's [2]. There it was mentioned that upstream's default (vulkan) could be used again in time
    for Ubuntu 25.04. Is this going to happen in the near future?

    For the record, we apple silicon users [3] are happy that the default is
    still ngl, given that vulkan is currently broken on our platform [4].

    Cheers!

    [3] The asahi mesa drivers are not enabled in the Debian build yet, and
    won't be in Trixie (except perhaps as a backport at some point? who
    knows), but third parties' builds are being offered full support by the
    Bananas Team at this time
