      Imagination's Open-Source PowerVR Vulkan Driver Now Plays Nicely With Zink OpenGL

      news.movim.eu / Phoronix • 15 hours ago

      news.movim.eu / Phoronix • 20 hours ago

    The upcoming Linux 7.1 kernel cycle is set to retire UDP-Lite support. The UDP-Lite protocol allowed for partial checksums where potentially damaged/corrupted packets are still delivered to the application. Since the Linux 2.6.20 days there has been UDP-Lite support but the kernel is now set to retire it given breakage that has persisted for years and cleaning up the networking code can yield a performance advantage for non-UDP-Lite users...
