March #Tumbleweed #snapshots were packed with #opensource goodness! #GNOME 48, #KDE Plasma 6.3.3, #Mesa 25.0.1 & parallel #zypper downloads. Dive into the updates! #openSUSE #Linux https://news.opensuse.org/2025/04/01/tw-monthly-update-march/
After years of persistence, multi-planar YUV support has finally landed in etnaviv! Initially faced pushback, but now it's merged - bringing significant improvements to video playback performance. A big win for smoother multimedia experiences!

"Gloss Mountains View From the Trail" by Debra Martz
A conflict that continues today is, "What REALLY is the name of this Oklahoma landmark; Gloss or Glass Mountains?"
In 1873, the name Glass Mountains appeared on a map issued by the Federal General Land Office. Two years later, the same office issued another map calling them the Gloss Mountains. Perhaps the 2nd draftsman misread an A for an O?

From the latest Vulkan conference, about the development of Blender's Vulkan backend:

The work done on backward compatibility in #Blender is really something. There are 5+ years-old computers that are perfectly fine with their target of #Vulkan 1.2 (including mine, especially thanks to the enormous work in driver support in #Mesa!) and who will really benefit a lot from how much overhead is reduced compared to OpenGL!

Mesa 25.0 Released with Support for Vulkan 1.4 & OpenGL 4.6
A new version of the Mesa graphics library has been released. Mesa 25.0 features Vulkan 1.4 support, which the team bill as the ‘flashiest addition’ in this new development release as it spans Anv (Intel), Asahi (Apple), Lavapipe (software), NVK (NVIDIA), PanVK (Mali), RADV (AMD), and Turnip (Qualcomm). The OpenGL 4.6 API also sees implementation in Mesa 25.0 though the version reported will depend on the hardware driver in use since not all drivers support all features OpenGL 4.6 requires. AMD RDNA4 graphics sees initial support in the RadeonSI Gallium3D (OpenGL) and RADV (Vulkan) drivers is present, the former worked

Been trying out NVK for the first time today, and the results have been really impressive!
Most of the games I tried ranged from playable to completely indistinguishable from the proprietary drivers.
It feels like it has been barely any time at all since I started hearing about NVK last year, so seeing this much progress in such little time is amazing!
Here is some footage of Project DIVA running via NVK on my 3060Ti at a crisp 60fps:
