Making this all work is a long process and when talking to people that have been working in the field longer than me, I often get the feedback to be not too optimistic regarding time frames. As always when pushing some limits there will be driver bugs, missing APIs and loose ends all over the place. So far every device I tried needed at least some fixes in #mesa, the kernel or both. And when things break, we have to be extra careful to not impact stability.

My personal vision with all of this is to see #wayland desktop technologies not only catching up with what other OSs offer, but becoming leading players - just like what other FLOSS projects already archived (or are in the process of becoming) in their areas. I'm thinking of #mesa, #pipewire, #gstreamer, #systemd, the kernel of course, and many others.

🎉 #Panfrost, the #OpenSource driver for Mali GPUs, now supports new Valhall architecture with fully-conformant #OpenGL
ES 3.1 on Mali-G57! The final #Mesa patches are landing today & required #Linux kernel patches are queued for merge upstream. https://col.la/mg57c
