Yes. They also reverted some of the still unfinished stuff to use the Gnu versions until the Rust versions are ready.

It's been discussed a bit in the Sodium Discord. At least for now, there are no plans to use mesh shaders in Sodium due to OS incompatibility, driver concerns, and questions on whether it's really necessary for better performance.

So Nvidium will remain relevant and necessary for mesh shaders.

I do keep it on for touchpads, they are too small to used without it. But with a mouse with proper hand space, it's just more consistent to have it off.

True, but my issue with OpenBSD is that the performance is really lacking in terms of desktop smoothness. It feels like sub 60 fps compared the smoothness of Linux and FreeBSD.

I hope it's just a current driver incompatibility and not related to their hardening. Will try again once 7.8 releases.

Maybe Secureblue?

That also comes with its own hardened browser based on GrapheneOS's.

And if you don't go with Secureblue and its browser, I'd recommend using a browser Chromium based, probably Brave. I know that's a controversial choice, but in terms of security and ad blocking, it's one of the better options. And disable JIT for V8.

The most reliable stats would be the Steam hardware survey.

It's not on the chart.

No

Yes. However, it's still very notable that distros like Ubuntu have gone from 40+% to under 10%.

kurtjmac was one of the first (I'm not sure if the first) to start the journey. His journey is notable because he did not use the nether or any glitches and built up a community over those 14 years.

To my understanding, you just need a phone number to make an account. I think it can be a burner number. But then if you ever lose access to the account you can't recover it.
