The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

The Return of the Frame Pointers
I think I might have confused two unrelated posts. The one that references Polar Signals is this one:
https://gitlab.com/freedesktop-sdk/freedesktop-sdk/-/issues/...
So not a perf issue there, but they don't think the workflow is suitable for whole-system profiling. Perf issues were in the context of `perf` using DWARF:

- Finally mesa version 23.1.1 for fedora 38 has been published for testing 11 hours ago. It comes with quite important features like vulkan gpl for RADV to fight stutters in games and for better performance.

Yocto
But the fd-sdk https://gitlab.com/freedesktop-sdk/freedesktop-sdk and gnome build meta https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-build-meta projects can prove as good references.

Rant: Desktop Sandboxing
With all of these hypothetical features out of the way and looking just at current release software, Flatpak allows you to do so much stuff that isn't accessible for a not-so-techy user. Custom installation folder? Yep. Running mesa-git GPU drivers? You got it. Any way to easily do this via GUI? In typical Linux fashion, nope. For a GUI focused packaging format this is a big letdown.
- Issue found for: Steam Deck Issue With Flatpak Hardware Decoding
- Steam Flatpak. Tried RADV_PERFTEST=gpl with proton-ge-54 but doesnt seem to be working when compared to using it with Bottles. Please see if I did it right.

Is there any way to force a specific Mesa driver for applications when multiple Mesa driver versions have been installed?
Link to (official?) how-to: https://gitlab.com/freedesktop-sdk/freedesktop-sdk/-/wikis/Mesa-git

Fedora Workstation 38 Is Shaping Up To Be Another Fantastic Release
You can load up Mesa GIT using environment variables, see here. Honestly what I miss the most from flatpak Steam is properly working non-Steam shortcuts, but I've given up on that.
- Are all AMD GPUs equally well supported?

PSA: The new OBS update breaks VA-API encoding when used with the Flatpak
It was my understanding that the packages for vaapi are just put into the -extra version of the sdk so app maintainers can opt out, but they are still available if they want to use them. See https://gitlab.com/freedesktop-sdk/freedesktop-sdk/-/merge_requests/10616

Downgrade python to 3.8.2
You can probably use the shared-modules file for Python 2.7 as a starting point, assuming they didn't change their build process too significantly between 2.7 and 3.8.
-
Find dependencies for an element of shared-modules
If it's not guaranteed to be provided by the runtime (which I imagine freetype2 would be), then it's a bug and should be reported. (I submitted a fix for sdl12-compat.json not listing its dependency on GLU.)

How do you build flatpaks? Am I missing something?
Not sure about it, but the gimp flatpak builds gtk2 so I'm not sure if it's part of any runtime or not: https://github.com/flathub/shared-modules/blob/4c83a37cf50fa4c03ceffaf075a189031b5e8e94/gtk2/gtk2.json

Are flatpaks the future? I tend to agree.
There are some cases where libraries are not shared: Old libraries for example like Python 2 must be bundled with the application, so they can differ. Even then, most stock 'legacy' libraries share the same shared-modules.

Need help with Flatpak package's dependencies
Flathub has a shared module for libusb: https://github.com/flathub/shared-modules/blob/master/libusb/libusb.json
What are some alternatives?
When comparing freedesktop-sdk and shared-modules you can also consider the following projects:
flatpak - Linux application sandboxing and distribution framework
flatpak-builder-tools - Various helper tools for flatpak-builder
Flatseal - Manage Flatpak permissions
libusb - A cross-platform library to access USB devices
argos-translate - Open-source offline translation library written in Python
ImageMagick - 🧙♂️ ImageMagick 7
xdg-desktop-portal-gtk - Gtk implementation of xdg-desktop-portal
us.zoom.Zoom
snapstore - Obsolete super minimalist example "store" to serve snap packages
oneTBB - oneAPI Threading Building Blocks (oneTBB)
snapcraft - Package, distribute, and update any app for Linux and IoT.
