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

- Steam Download Speed Slow on Linux Compared to Windows 10/11
-
Very slow download speeds in Linux but normal in Windows..
Anyone else noticing this? I don't believe I'm going insane. For a while now my download speeds, regardless of chosen server, are always slower in the Linux client compared to in Windows. Is the only appropriate place to post about this here -> https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Steam-for-Linux ? Would be great to know that I'm not the only one being affected.
- Steam ignores the "Later" button on client updates

steam can't load
https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues Its seems to be a problem happening only to Nvidia GPUs. Not only Mint but many other distros A temporary solution is to open Steam from the Terminal using "steam -vgui"
- Problems Downloading Steam
-
Stable update today - Please read the forum post
I just spent a few hours working on that problem that Steam takes very long to appear. I did not have xdg-desktop-portal-gnome installed, and Steam is the only application that has that problem, so it's not the one from the update forum post. What my (and probably your) problem is, is this one: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/9780. Some bug where CEF gets stuck in a loop. When I executed steam --reset an error about steamwebhelper and glibc appeared like 50 times, each taking a few seconds.
