NVIDIA invented the programmable shader

That sounds like bs. Nvidia didn't invent that.

Quoting: ShmerlStill waiting for Debian team to package 6.6.x.

Still waiting for Mint team to package any 6.x!!

Understandably slow for Mint with its long term releases, but I'm talking about the rolling versions of Debian.

I think in Debian it depends on newer Qt, and packaging that is usually a pretty heavy lifting. Not sure how other distros manage to do it so quickly. They might simply ignore all the bugs fallout caused by that, while Debian Qt/KDE team have do that carefully.

it's not entirely clear if the HDMI Forum can (or will be able to) block people going with a trial and error approach to getting more modern HDMI features working in the open source drivers.

They can't forbid clean room reverse engineering. But they could definitely try to make life harder for people even without legal basis, just because they have money and lawyers to wave around. Hopefully this developer can get backing from EFF or someone who can advise how to fight off HDMI patent trolls.

Very cool summary, thank you!

On this point:

On why the "rollback" feature is exclusive to the GOG Galaxy client

You can access all Galaxy builds with lgogdownloader, and essentially you can view each build as a DRM-free snapshot of the game. So you aren't stuck with installers if you want to make backups or rollbacks. There are tools to handle all that if you need to and they aren't exclusive to GOG's own Galaxy client. They do rely on GOG's Galaxy protocol though.

It probably means new AMD GPUs are also not going to come out until 2027.

Hard to say, Lucas Arts SCUMM engine itself was initially about 2D adventure games, but in practice it was something more like a programming basis, same way ScummVM may be more than just about adventure games.

But overall I'd say majority of ScummVM games are still adventure games.

Quoting: ArehandoroAren't all supported games in ScummVM traditional graphic adventures (~point& click)?

Initially and most of them are, but they branched out into more types, like Blade Runner.

Nice, waiting for Debian to rebase scummvm on SDL3.
