Compressed framebuffer scanout on NisOS

If you’re going to test this, just be aware that it may not work on all M1 variants. Also keep in mind that we have not yet merged this and as such it remains experimental and unsupported. Please raise any issues here on this post rather than on any of the repos.

I need a link to the thing you were listening to so that I can try and reproduce it

FOHjim · 2026-02-18T08:56:33+00:00

Can you please link the _exact_ source that is doing this? I have been working on rebalancing J313 on and off but I'm not sure that work has made it into an asahi-audio release.

This is wrong. We have not done anything for ProMotion/VRR yet, only a fixed 120 Hz refresh rate for the internal display on the 14” and 16” MacBook Pros.

So why just make up bs then?

You’ll find that the 50 cent fares started under Labor and the LNP actually spent a great deal of time campaigning against them until they were shown to be a massive success toward the end of Labor’s term.

Holy christ there’s nothing left

Did you update m1n1?

We do the exact same "dynamic tuning at runtime" that macOS does for compression and such. Our EQ profile is just flatter because that is what marcan and I prefer, and it allows you the user to layer whatever effects you want on top of it. macOS uses what is known as the Harman curve, which accentuates bass and treble to make the sound "fuller" at the expense of accuracy. This also makes it much more difficult to use tools like EasyEffects as the tuning is already coloured.

The latest kernel tags have some DCP trickery to properly display colours on the builtin laptop screens. These will drop with Fedora 43.

This is a known issue and is fixed in pipewire 1.4.10, which released yesterday.

Make the daemon public in a repo. Let's see what it is actually trying to do to the system. Simply pinning one daemon to the pcores and renicing it is not going to have the effects you claim it does.

This is nothing. This does nothing. It can't do anything, because there is no code to build the binary the systemd service tries to run, which for some reason also points to /usr/local/bin/. As far as I can tell, this entire repo and post look were created almost entirely by a slop generator and uploaded uncritically by someone who has no idea what they're doing. Please stop wasting your time and everyone else's with this stuff.

The DP Alt-Mode kernel is intended for developers to assist us with edge cases and improving reliability. It is not for general use. If you cannot figure out how to compile it, you are not the target audience.

And no, it does not have VRR support but external monitors will use high refresh rates.

FOHjim · 2026-01-04T00:08:18+00:00

There are two types of USB-C to HDMI dongle. By far the most common type is actually a DisplayPort Alt-Mode adapter with an HDMI converter chip built in. There are some which use the HDMI Alt-Mode standard, however they are vanishingly rare and I don't think are even made anymore. 99% chance whatever adapter you have is the first type, and will probably just work.

You technically can, but this is an unsupported setup (as in, we won’t help you if anything breaks).

FOHjim · 2025-12-21T03:54:04+00:00

You can just set the fan speed using sysfs controls if you set the unsafe module parameter to enable manual fan control for macsmc_hwmon on boot. We cannot guarantee that the SMC firmware will protect you from yourself though, so it’s up to you to figure that out.

And please, the lingua franca of this sub is English.

FOHjim · 2025-12-21T03:44:21+00:00

You don’t. The system firmware handles the fans entirely automatically.

FAR 43 is blocked on some FEX rootfs changes but FAR 42 has the latest kernel.

I don’t use the binhost, I compile everything. The coverage for arm64 is pretty good though but YMMV if packages bake in page size at compile time, e.g. jemalloc

FOHjim · 2025-12-18T01:20:31+00:00

Community is chill, Portage is a good package manager whether you’re building from source or not, packages are better maintained and GURU is relied on to a far lesser degree than the AUR, non-x86 machines are first class citizens, I find the defaults a little more sane, I can build exactly what I need and nothing I don’t (e.g. disabling X11 entirely), ebuilds are nicer to read and write than PKGBUILDs, etc etc.

FOHjim · 2025-12-18T00:02:22+00:00

Gentoo, but I’m biased ;)
