This week something big got merged: support for Explicit Sync on Wayland!...

TUXEDO Sirius 16 Gen2 is here with a faster processor (APU), namely the AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS with 8 cores, 16 threads, 24 MB cache, up to 5,1 GHz clock speed, and AMD Radeon 780M integrated graphics. However, the discrete graphics card is unchanged from the first generation, namely the AMD Radeon RX 7600M XT graphics card based on...

Looking for a Lemmy client for my desktop, archlinux. Was hoping for a good community recommendation and preferably open source.
