After years of hard work, countless reviews, and tons of community testing, we're happy to share that dynamic buffering has landed in Mutter for GNOME 48!

This improves the smoothness of GNOME across a wide range of hardware and software setups.

Thanks to everyone involved in this collaboration! Special thanks to author Daniel van Vugt from Canonical and reviewers Jonas Ådahl and Michel Dänzer from Red Hat.

@rolle @husku @liw @saaste @miiakosonen @Finnhits itse käytän "memorable password" optiota, ja kun pyydetään isoa kirjainta ja numeroa, niin käytän loppuosaa "1N" ;-)

@vbabka ordered two weeks ago total six books from no starch including some pre-orders such as "The Art of ARM Assembly, Volume 1" and "Building a Debugger" but missed this one! I guess it is soon time for +1 order :-)

While I don't know if is the first time this has happened, it's good to acknowledge this given all the crazy, odd, and incorrect press about Rust in Linux these days.

A new in-kernel api just landed in linux-next from my tree and should hopefully show up in 6.14 to make some kinds of drivers easier to write, that has a rust binding added at the exact same time:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/2025021023-sandstorm-precise-9f5d@gregkh/

Many thanks to Lyude and Danilo and many other Rust kernel developers for the help in creating the binding and make the C side work well for both Rust and C code at the same time. The end result here for any C developer alone, is much better off for all of their help.

@ncopa Also software and services are from end-to-end in-house. E.g. they have this as part of the solution: https://puavo.org/.

@ncopa Thanks, I think I finally found something that could really work for me in long term since I departed (with my own foot after 11 years) from Intel :-)

It's not a question of money for me personally. I just want to make something that makes sense for customers, has also ethical value and improves society.

All the laptops are recycled leasing laptops that they reburnish, rebrand and also have full maintenance. E.g. if a kid breaks a display it will be like few tens of euros bill for parents, not few hundred.

The whole concept impressed me a lot...

I'll be working at https://opinsys.com/contact/ starting from next month.

Opinsys creates a combined hardware and teaching platform based on open source, and provides this service for schools in Finland, Germany and Switzerland :-)

This also means that I'm full on back in kernel too for the first time in over two years, as the work will involve e.g. taking advantage of the modern security features of the Linux kernel.

I.e. my work time will also contain my LKML time ;-)

I'm quite excited as what could be a better job than help kids do better at school, or have better environment for enabling that!
