With many Linux desktops now running Wayland quite nicely, it seems it's time to keep pushing ahead. AMD have revealed what they call the AMDGPU Composition Stack (ACS).

    We’re finally making Wayland decent with this one!

    Seriously though, very good news. Help from a rather nice billion dollar company is very welcome.

      Who is helped by forking a community project to build a company-specific project?

        1. Afaik Wayland has absolutely ridiculous requirements for new features.

        2. You can backport stuff to mainstream if the maintainers allow it.

            Then my answer is yes.

                Will a report answer it? Asking for a friend.

                  You’re not making sense.

    Dickheads. Investing in another ROCM-like project instead of just working upstream.

    AMD, you’re going in the wrong direction!
