I’ve daydreamed about the Linux foundation or sovereign tech fund agency taking ownership of Firefox away from Mozilla.
Maybe they could maintain a fork of it instead, I’m not sure. At this point I think it’s become a necessary measure. Firefox is quite far back in terms of security features that it’s actually becoming kind of silly. I still use it, carefully. I feel less inclined to recommend it to less savvy users in its current state.
I didn’t realise there were keyword filters. Thanks!
I see. You can temporarily edit your grub before the OS loads. This should afford you the opportunity to boot into the system without EDID modifications, though im not sure if your modified EDID will still load under this scenario. If so, you may need to switch into a CLI session to undo your changes.
I’m sorry to hear that. Does this system only have access to this single display? Did you use a kernel command to modify your EDID? If so, are you able to temporarily modify your grub before booting into the OS?
Archwiki references a [@<refresh>] (presumably denoted as [@144] for something like 144Hz) property, hopefully that’s all you should need to define, though I’m not sure if you’ll need to manually recalculate vertical and horz timings or something.
Maybe this can help fill in any gaps
You want to look into modifying your display EDID.
I don’t believe there’s a GUI for this on Linux but this post referencing the Archwiki might come in handy

they’re trying to ensure an acceptable UX with their browser.
I suppose the root of the issue is developers specifically targeting and testing on chrome.
I don’t understand how this would make Firefox look bad unless you’re pointing at the dire browser share situation.
it do be that way :(
Their latest microcode update from 7 days ago was declared as final. Time will tell about the efficacy of the most recent fixes.
Unfortunately it may only be available via board partners as beta BIOS updates at present.
Isn’t this the kernel driver included by default?
I see, appreciate the info. I’ll have a poke around on fedora later today
Oh right. Do you have a distro specific example of this?
You shouldn’t need to install anything for the amd gpu
I’ve been lucky enough to dumb guy my fedora install since 28, and it’s been pretty decent to me. Granted I’m not using nvidia graphics, and I feel like that could throw a big spanner in the works for regular users. It’s a big enough leap getting into the mindset of installing software from Distro repos rather than directly from the vendor.
I hope the newer nv open kernel modules don’t stay out of tree. Also hope that NVK will give users the ability to just plug and play with mesa drivers in the future.
waiting to see it ported to the HTC hd2
do ski socks count?
Yikes I wasn’t aware of the second part
I was about to ask, isn’t this guy a prolific dickhead?
In was thinking about TLF with servo in mind, though I wasn’t aware much progress has been made. Great to hear!
