Sommelier is an implementation of a Wayland compositor that delegates compositing to a ‘host’ compositor. Sommelier includes a set of features that allows it to run inside a tight jail or virtual machine.

Sommelier can run as service or as a wrapper around the execution of a program. As a service, it spawns new processes as needed to service clients. The parent process is called the master sommelier.

Quoting: ShmerlIs Chrome OS using Wayland?

AFAIK, it it. IIRC, it's even used by Android apps instead of surfaceflinger. I didn't find much on this topic though (information is scattered), besides this FAQ entry [External Link].

Interesting, thanks! If Android UI applications can work through Wayland, Google should simply move to it on Android itself.

Quoting: GuestAnd because of this hand-eye disconnect some very impressionable people will latch onto anything that makes drawing on a tablet feel more like drawing on a paper, but it's not that there's anything special about paper in this case, it's just that they're trying to tackle the hand-eye disconnect through completely illogical and ineffective ways.

Are you talking about non-display tablets? Wacom has display tablets for a long time already (Cintiq series), so no hand-eye disconnect anymore.

Quoting: ShmerlFor drawing, try Krita. It's a lot better than Gimp for that. The later is a good raster image processing editor.

So where does Inkscape come into all this?

Vector graphics - the third use case.

Quoting: GuestThe other day I literally just threw my hands up and gave up on this. After 5 years of trying to learn digital art on linux I'm just quitting, going to windows and using photoshop, because fuck this shit I'm not dealing with it while I'm learning. Nobody should. Do you know how many years this bullshit has potentially held me back for because I didn't know any better?

Did you file Krita bugs about all the above? Would be interesting to follow (performance, banding and etc.).

Quoting: GuestBasically I regret buying a recent card to have the same performance of a 4 year old card I already own at the moment. I had high hopes in the NAVI cards but they turned out being not so amazing.

It's an iterative process. AMD said they are investing a lot into microarchitecture for Navi, so I expect its performance to continue improving and catch up to Nvidia, or hopefully get ahead of it. Current iteration of Navi is obviously still only catching up in this sense.

So yes, currently using AMD you get lower performance than some Nvidia cards, but not really much lower, and as I said, AMD is on the course to fix it. That's a tradeoff I'm OK with. The other option is to support a nasty company that slows down Linux progress to begin with.

If it will help increasing the number of Linux games, then it's a good development.
