This would be a great moment for Microsoft to express their love towards Linux and open source ;-)

"Kernel plumber at kernel.org. Uncloud plumber at parity.io."
I guess that is pretty accurate description what I do for the most part :-)

Cheers for Servo! Now we can also see actual improvement in the web engines as TECHNOLOGY, not just new fishy ad scams ;-)
Especially with low-end hardware Servo should be more capable of taking juices out of them, as long as they have some GPU.
All the current mainstream web engine crap is from the software rendering days with duct taped layout engines. Despite they are polished over time, there's a difference in making the right architecture choices from the get go.

@oleksandr I.e. I also have plenty of time for any possible LKML beef ;-) Zero business pressure...
I could CC the patch set to you once I get to that point if you give me your email.

@oleksandr It's a cool driver to work with. Has been in mind over the years but companies do not care about it ;-) Now is my chance given that I'm not employed to do kernel... Last three weeks have been gone to figuring how to test media from kernel perspective (both in general and specific) but have got side now together, and learned a lot in process.

@oleksandr I don't know I did not do research, only heard the claim. I guess you could do application level solution when e.g. browser would use some Pipewire interface to query cameras provided by it but I personally think that we need a more low-level and stack independent solution.
It's also bad for open source. I mean we should do open source stack overall in a way that someone can e.g. provide alternative to the whole Pipewire even tho at this point we love it.

@Foxboron ... which can be disabled from the settings. I don't want to use it either but it is not like the first feature ever that I dislike :-) So yeah I do agree that AI crap sucks but I don't see this VLC feature as such a big deal.
I still use Audacity too...

Some have argued that "we could do the same with Pipewire".
1. I love Pipewire. It's ****ing great. For the first time Linux has multimedia stack that surpasses Apple's.
2. With video we still might want to have option to cut down the stack depending on device. I.e. have a choice in product design whether to use or not use gstreamer and pipewire.
So from this premise IMHO a loopback video device does make sense.
#v4l2 #pipewire #gstreamer

This is quite welcome actually: https://fframes.studio/ (also rust-av)
Unless you enjoy libav interfaces or always layer it with gstreamer or libvlc...
A Rust rewrite that actually makes sense!
#rust #rustlang #ffmpeg

@kernellogger i need that kernel just keep my machine alive long enough to write a test program with a driver running using a new API :-) so as long as it boots and logs into GNOME, I'm good... So not looking for perfect result.

Doing a distribution kernel for testing feature patch in Fedora is actually quite trivial now that I see the forest, and not only trees.
Up to the SRPM's it is exactly these steps:
1. git clone git@gitlab.com:cki-project/kernel-ark.git && cd kernel-ark
2. git -C ~/work/kernel.org/jarkko/linux-tpmdd diff master..v4l2-loopback > redhat/linux-kernel-test.patch
3. make dist-test-patch
4. make dist-srpm
Cool: three (!) weeks of improving my QA flows but now I can move on to the API breaking changes in the V4L2 loopback device :-) It is easier to develop the test code for anonymous inode version when you have the driver running in your desktop. Otherwise, it would be super painful.
@kernellogger thanks for getting me up on speed with compiling Fedora kernel, could not have mastered it w/o you :-)
I'd like to remark steps two and three because those I added by trial and failure and peeking at redhat/Makefile. It probably would make sense to put a remark here: https://cki-project.gitlab.io/kernel-ark/
