I've been running nightly with this enabled for quite a while on Intel and it's been fine. Note that OMTC is required for e10s. The layer acceleration pref is a totally different thing and will stay off for the near future. It's affected by a bug in libxcb which has been patched but not made it

I also absolutely hate flat-volumes. Often I have trouble getting an application loud enough, and discover that it's too low in the mixer. The idea of flat volumes is to avoid a global volume, but the way it interacts is super confusing and unlike any other system people use (except maybe Android,

In the case of Youtube, you shouldn't be having any issues because Mozilla switched to using a soft mixer internal to Firefox: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1046814 If you still have issues, you should report them upstream. (note that this means all website volume sliders are

That's all x86 assembly, not ARM. It looks like all that program is doing is trying to select a bundled software mesa implementation. None of those are probably included in the Fedora build anyway, I'd suggest patching to not build that executable at all. On 01/05/2016 06:12 PM, Orion Poplawski

Locked memory limits are too low

For Fedora Workstation, the current limit on mlock()ed memory per user is 64kiB, which less than what some applications need. In particular, Bitcoin Core uses mlock() to prevent private keys from being swapped to disk. The total size of the wallet keys can exceed 300kB. Audio is another use case

In Firefox, the about:config setting: layout.css.devPixelsPerPx can be set to an arbitrary non-integer scalefactor, such as 1.25 or 1.5. Unfortunately, GTK applications are limited to scalefactors of 1 or 2 so you're stuck with Large Text, gnome-tweak-tool's font scaling factor, or setting font
