\"WAYLAND\"
\nThe newest Wayland compositor on the block is Nourish, it’s a Vulkan-powered and its unique selling point is offering “infinite” zooming and panning to in effect provide an infinite workspace.<\/p>\n

Nourish is designed as “a linux desktop that doesn’t limit you to your screen size.” It’s modern-focused with using the Vulkan API for rendering but can still fallback to OpenGL ES for older hardware. This compositor has been tested across the open-source AMD and Intel GPU drivers as well as the official NVIDIA drivers. <\/p>\n

Nourish makes you use of the Wayland fractional scaling protocol as part of its zooming to help it stay accurate and blurry-free. Helping Nourish do the heavy lifting on the Wayland side is y5 as a Wayland compositor written in Rust that leverages in turn code from Smithay, WGPU, Iced, and other projects. <\/p>\n

Those wanting to learn more about the Nourish Wayland compositor can do so via GitHub<\/a> and the main project site<\/a> — including some nifty visuals of Nourish in action. Binary packages are available for Fedora Linux.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The newest Wayland compositor on the block is Nourish, it’s a Vulkan-powered and its unique selling point is…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":522035,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[7165,61,60,7164,7162,7161,7168,7166,7163,7167,7160,7171,80,7169,7170],"class_list":["post-522034","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-technology","tag-desktop-linux","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-linux-benchmarking","tag-linux-hardware-benchmarks","tag-linux-hardware-reviews","tag-linux-how-to","tag-linux-performance","tag-linux-server-benchmarks","tag-open-source-graphics","tag-phoronix","tag-phoronix-test-suite","tag-technology","tag-ubuntu-benchmarks","tag-ubuntu-hardware"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/522034","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=522034"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/522034\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/522035"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=522034"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=522034"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=522034"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
