Along with VRR over HDMI not being well supported, sometimes the monitors own EDID is a little buggy and Linux can't guarantee VRR will work properly.

I wrote a blog post a while ago on fixing EDIDs, but it was pretty much a guessing game on what to change: https://stevetech.me/posts/force-enable-vrr-edid

I've had to do that with both Samsung and MSI monitors so far. If you'd like to post your EDID, I could check it myself with what I know.

Yeah, but also I really didn't expect Zoom to have working screen sharing on wayland before discord.

I guess if you have to use a classical terminal or terminal emulator, but I was more talking about drawing apps directly to the Linux console without X or another sort of windowing system.

For example this is Midori, a web browser:

Yeah it does need a sensors config for your motherboard too, if you want the proper names, but I won't be able to get mine until maybe Sunday.

Unless gigabyte changed it in a newer revision, that motherboard has 2 it87 chips, but you need a newer driver to see both in sensors.

They're also often called TRRS (for 4 pole), in relation to TRS (3 pole).

If you open the sensors part of HWINFO there should be a DIMM voltage from the motherboard, that's a live reading, what does that say?

I'm on Fedora

Here's a few alternatives to HWINFO I've used:

• CPU-X (has a GUI, and is probably the most like HWINFO but still different)
• lm-sensors (might require a custom profile for your motherboard, but can provide live temp/fan/voltage sensor readings)
• dmidecode (built in, can read the data off the dimm, but doesn't read sensors directly)

Edit: Just realised I have that motherboard, and it's probably why XMP stopped being stable. I'll look into it on Monday.

Edit 2: From memory to use lm-sensors you need to use an updated it87 driver for both chips to appear, I can provide a sensors profile on Monday.

I'd recommend cloning it and then following the guide on the new SSD, just in case something goes wrong then you still have a complete backup.

Mozilla has finally blessed Intel graphics hardware with the open-source VA-API video decode stack to enable that hardware acceleration by default.

Think it's enabled by default now.

But yeah, I've also had Firefox with VAAPI working with Intel Arc for a while too, I just had to set some stuff in about:config.

The site owner can configure how often it should show, or maybe Cloudflare just considers you risky.

Yeah those are some good points, I guess I'm just spoilt with native IPv6.

I think it should be able to be toggled on a per app basis, along with a global keyboard like X has (so I could (un)mute discord or whatever without alt tabbing over). Maybe similar to how Android does things where it asks the user for permission to do something, you could make the app request for permission and maybe some helper app that forces permissions for other apps.
