From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Or am I incorrect. Is this just standardising the API in Vulkan and it gets forwarded to the same video encoding driver? Could we not have Mesa doing a better job? 😒

This is how I would read it. But if you have Mesa do it, it's in software, and you might just be using a software coded directly then, it's much easier.

I wrote Mesa but meant ffmpeg. Wishful thinking that they are able to make a generic ffmpeg encoder in Vulkan to allow it to be accelerated in hardware but not relying on bad video driver codecs.

Oh well, back to Intel.
