I think people who package #Mesa should disable #llvmpipe by default.

I don't think there's any situation where it's useful to the typical end-user, and many where it's problematic.

@topher if you like #SGI #IRIX, then maybe @bunsenlabs / #BunsenLabs woth it's #OpenBox desktop is right up your alley?

• It's a #Debian-based distro and it barely sips resources to the point that even a #Poulsbo (#AtomZ520 + #GMA500)-based #Netbook (in my case a Vaio #P11Z) can run it fluidly as software renderer (#llvmpipe)...

@EpicPawt I can recommend to take a look at #TinyCore and #BunsenLabs if you like some #smol #desktop #distro...

TinyCore is a #BusyBox / #Linux and @bunsenlabs is a nifty #Debian derivate which runs even on a #GMA500 / #Poulsbo / #IntelAtom Z-series system like the #VaioP11Z just fine despite using #llvmpipe for rendering...

@krutonium I can recommend @bunsenlabs / #BunsenLabsLinux which runs smooth in my #Vaio #P11Z with the shitty #GMA500 in #llvmpipe.

• If that's too straining, consider #TinyCore, which us a #BusyBox-based distro - abeit very minimalist.

Those are the options with a fancy #GUI.

• I aim for #i486 with @OS1337 (if #Linux didn't cancel #i386 and #toxbox never bothered with it, I'd aim dir that!) but as of now that isn't useable.

@sodiboo if you think #nvidia is shit, wait till you get #Itel's shotty #Rebadge if #PowerVR SGX aka. #GMA500 & GMA3xx0-Series...

• Your only options are #llvmpipe which is a pain in the ass on those #IntelAtom chips or nothing at all...

@weirdfish @oldperl es gibt nen #fallback...

#SofwareRenderer [wie bei #Windows] per llvmpipe...

• Und ja auf modernen High-End - Systemen geht damit auch #Crysis...

Okay, korrekterweise ist der #FOSS-Treiber #nouveau zu benennen, aber wenn ihr nen Schuldigen sucht, dann müsst ihr #nvidia's Kundendienst konsequent abnerven bis diese einen brauchbaren Treiber als #FLOSS releasen...

#llvmpipe

I'm wondering if anybody can help me with this fiddly problem. I've been playing Death Stranding (which I got free through the Epic store a while back) using the Heroic Games Launcher. It was working perfectly, but suddenly I'm getting this error message when I try to launch it. I haven't intentionally changed any settings (though have been moving items in my Steam library between internal hard drives). Any thoughts? #HeroicGamesLauncher #Epic #Proton #Linux #DeathStranding #error #llvmpipe

@sleepybisexual @Raspberry_Pi well, #Termux does offer you some packages, tho I'm not shure if it does anything beyond #llvmpipe aka #performance will be trash and battery runtime abysmal...

@marcan @AsahiLinux Yeah, I know ~why~ they did it and from their perspective that's all fine - basically like the @Raspberry_Pi having no #EFI and simply a bootcode EEPROM...

It just makes programming stuff quite annoying cuz there isn't some basic #llvmpipe-style fallback but one propably has to fully initialize the attached display and it's parameters - whereas for the MacBooks that's not needed due to the panel configuration being static.

Next time you suffer from #ImpostorSyndrome remember that this ancient geek, super developer and extreme techie just debugged an #Ubuntu system for more than an hour to figure out why it wasn't possible to expand the desktop across monitors after the installation of #NVidia drivers.

... only to finally figure out that the cause for the #llvmpipe being the active driver and causing all of the issues was ...

... that I had installed the #headless version of the drivers.

Okay.. I think I got the new API for #opencl's WorkGroupInfo figured out as it works quite nicely with #radeonsi now. Just missing implementations for #nouveau, #llvmpipe and #panfrost (and maybe the #iris one could be improved a little?)
