Good News! Mesa Package with Hardware Acceleration is Arriving in RPM Fusion
The popular RPM Fusion repo brings the recently disabled Mesa package.
A few days back, Fedora Linux disabled the decoding of h264dec, h264enc, h265dec, h265enc, and vc1dec via GPU from its upcoming Fedora 37 onwards. The Mesa package which was providing this feature introduced a switch to disable the patented codecs. Until now, due to an oversight, it was enabled in Fedora.
Since then, numerous users over forums debated this decision and its consequences for the users.
As always, the open-source community finds a way to resolve the situation.
