Phoronix: Fedora 35 Looking To Make Use Of Debuginfod By Default

Red Hat engineers spearheaded the work on Debuginfod for being able to fetch debuginfo/sources from centralized servers for a project to cut-down on manually having to install the relevant debug packages manually on a system as well as that occupying extra disk space and just being a hassle. The Fedora project is now getting their Debuginfod server off the ground and for Fedora Linux 35 are planning to make use of it by default...

openSUSE Tumbleweed has debug info enabled since very recently as well.

I don't know why GCC and LLVM are installed by default. As a normal user, I've never needed to use any of these. I just use packages from the package manager, I don't compile stuff myself.

- GCC is often needed to compile DKMS kernel modules when you update (you don't see it, it happens automatically during apt upgrade)
- LLVM is used by graphics drivers to compile shaders (you don't see it either, it happens automatically when you launch any 3D app)

Bullshit. I can very clearly see FPS becoming SPF.

And DKMS rebuild is part of the pacman output so I see that too. I figure if you're talking about apt in a Fedora thread

GCC alone is used to compile DKMS modules. But I guess "normal users" like you don't use DKMS modules because you work from a very locked down computer terminal, right?

To be fair, if you use hardware that's officially supported by your distro then you don't need DKMS. Personally I'm a big fan of the Silverblue approach and compilers should be kept in toolboxes, not on the base system.

If you have no clue about a topic and you clearly don't, just don't say anything unless you want to continue to embarrass yourself

Shader compile stutter in the middle of a game

It's very obvious when that happens and sometimes the framerate tanks when that's going on. Valve didn't bother with ACO without reason.

You can compile stuff in the toolbox on normal fedora too. I do that all the time.
