Marcin 'hrw' Juszkiewicz: Is Wayland really a future of desktop?
Each time I update my Fedora desktop to new release (usually around Beta) I give a try to Wayland. Which shows that I still use X11.
[...]
For desktop environment I use KDE. Which means Plasma desktop/panel, Konsole and few KDE apps. Firefox and Chrome as web browsers, Thunderbird for mail, Steam for gaming and Zoom (or Google Meet) for most of video calls.

futex2 at Linux Plumbers Conference 2022 | tony is coding
As in the past editions, I took the opportunity to discuss about futex2, a project I’m deeply involved in. futex2 is a project to solve issues found in the current futex interface. This years’ session was about NUMA awaress of futex. Currently, futex allocates a single hash table in the kernel to store all data. If this is done in a NUMA machine, the table is allocated in a single node. This increases the cost of futex operations when done from any other node, given that will need to access a memory outside of it’s node.
