Fedora: Fastboot and FPgM

i915.fastboot=1 is now enabled in Rawhide / F30 for Skylake and newer
i've just landed a big milestone for the Flicker Free Boot work I'm doing for Fedors 30. Starting with todays rawhide kernel build, version 5.0.0-0.rc4.git3.1, the fastboot option for the i915 Intel display driver is enabled by default on systems with a Skylake CPU/iGPU and newer, as well as on Valleyview and Cherryview (Bay- and Cherry-Trail) systems.

Fedora 30 Flips On Intel Graphics Fastboot By Default To Enhance The Boot Experience
While Intel is finally poised to enable Fastboot by default for recent generations of their Iris/HD/UHD Graphics hardware, which could happen as soon as Linux 5.1, for now Fedora is comfortable enough enabling the support by default on their own.
Just like the upstream aim, Fedora is enabling the Intel DRM/KMS driver's Fastboot feature by default for Skylake hardware and newer as well as Valley View and Cherry Trail Atom hardware. Other generations of Intel users or those on previous Fedora releases (and other Linux distributions) can use i915.fastboot=1 to manually enable this functionality, which aims to avoid useless mode-sets during the hardware initialization process in order to provide a smoother looking Linux boot process.

Samsung, Red Hat to Work on Linux Drivers for Future Tech
The metaverse is expected to uproot system design as we know it, and Samsung is one of many hardware vendors re-imagining data center infrastructure in preparation for a parallel 3D world.
Samsung is working on new memory technologies that provide faster bandwidth inside hardware for data to travel between CPUs, storage and other computing resources. The company also announced it was partnering with Red Hat to ensure these technologies have Linux compatibility.
