[qubes-users] Adding OpenGL Support
Hi, I have been waiting to switch using Qubes OS whenever it starts providing OpenGL support. I want to use Qt and other OpenGL based applications. What are your thoughts for future improvements to get there? How feasible is it? Could you please share your thoughts. Thank you!

Re: [qubes-users] Adding OpenGL Support
Sorry for not being clear enough. I meant hardware acceleration support for OpenGL based applications. Possibly for Vulkan support in the future as well.

Some people have been successful in using GPU passthrough, and you'll find numerous threads on this list on the subject. So you may be able to get that running to support your work. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

[qubes-users] Qubes OS 4.0.4-rc2 has been released!
Dear Qubes Community, We're pleased to announce the second release candidate for Qubes OS 4.0.4. Qubes OS 4.0.4-rc2 includes many updates over the initial 4.0 release, in particular: - All 4.0 dom0 updates to date - Fedora 32 TemplateVM - Debian 10 TemplateVM - Whonix 15 Gateway and Workstation TemplateVMs - Linux kernel 5.4 by default - Bug fixes from 4.0.4-rc1 Qubes 4.0.4-rc2 is available on the downloads page: https://www.qubes-os.org/downloads/ What is a point release? A point release does not designate a separate, new version of Qubes OS. Rather, it designates its respective major or minor release (in this case, 4.0) inclusive of all updates up to a certain point. Installing Qubes 4.0 and fully updating it results in the same system as installing Qubes 4.0.4. What should I do? - If you installed Qubes 4.0, 4.0.1, 4.0.2, or 4.0.3 and have fully updated [1], then your system is already equivalent to a Qubes 4.0.4 installation. No further action is required. Regardless of your current OS, if you wish to install (or reinstall) Qubes 4.0 for any reason, then the 4.0.4 ISO makes this more convenient and secure, since it bundles all Qubes 4.0 updates to date. Please see the installation guide [2] for detailed instructions. If you're willing to test [3] this release candidate, you can help to improve the stable release by reporting any bugs you encounter [4]. Release candidate planning -- If no major issues are discovered in 4.0.4-rc2, we expect to announce the stable release of 4.0.4 in a couple weeks.

Re: [qubes-users] Adding OpenGL Support
Qt architecture has changed in version 6. It uses a unified rendering system that relies on OpenGL/Vulkan/DirectX/Metal as render-backed heavily. Hardware acceleration is really important for the applications I build or use. On Sat, Jan 23, 2021 at 6:47 PM Aaron wrote: > Sorry for not being clear enough.
