This update, among other things, adds support for VK_EXT_descriptor_heap, which should bring significant performance boost to Nvidia cards, once it's properly implemented.

Literally haven’t had a single problem on arch that was due to arch in like 6 years.

Are you guys LLMs? This is English but it doesn't seem to have any correlation to actual reality.

    What are you doing that you have constant problems with Linux? What distro, what hardware? I've been using Linux since Slackware decades ago and it's been years since I had to babysit it.

    I'm using Arch. There are constant things that need tweaking and adjusting. Configuration-wise I couldn't use the analog and digital outputs of my sound card using the default Pipewire/Wireplumber configuration

    Problems this week include things like Freetube failing to work because Google updated YT and a script breaking because Pandas updated to 3.0 when the script uses 2.0.

    Not world ending problems, but certainly not in any way graphics card related (I also use an NVIDIA graphics card).

    Someone making the statement that they have had no computer problems in years that were not related to their graphics card is simply nonsense or has some trivial explanation, like they have never updated and are suffering from the same problem for years or are defining 'problem' in some limiting way.

    Okay, then I think there's a communication issue because I felt you were talking about serious problems with Linux as an operating system. These examples are unavoidable in a decentralized, volunteer model. FreeTube software is failing because it's fighting a corporate entity that is protecting it's revenue - the same will be happening on the Windows version. Unless the script was written as part of Pandas, there's no reason to expect them to 'just work'. That's one independent party doing work that impacts another independent party, and will likely be fixed. That kind problem happens every day in Windows but Windows is not considered unstable because of it.
